10.55am So, just a short ten-minute turnaround before India begin their chase on what has so far proven to be a tricky pitch. Can Rohit and Co. transcend the conditions? Deiva Muthu will be here to talk you through it shortly.

James: "236 estimated by the DL system. That thing is kinda creepy right now. Not a bad estimate at all. Now fingers crossed NZ bowlers can do what they're good at."

10.51am So ... 28 runs added in 23 balls this morning. It might well have been more but for some heroics in the field from Ravi Jadeja... two blinding moments in consecutive balls to puncture a promising start to New Zealand's day. India leave the field to backslaps and handshakes at a job reasonably well done...

WATCH - Jadeja's fantastic direct-hit finds Taylor short (Australia, UK and SEA only)

Bumrah to Santner, 1 leg bye, a swing across the line, an outside edge to short third man... and New Zealand finish on 239 for 8... it's something ...

Bumrah to Santner, 2 runs, gives himself room, slashes a firm drive, very straight of mid-off, who does well with a committed half-stop on a stretching dive. Back they come for the second though...

Third man and fine leg are up ... nope, fine leg is now back

Bumrah to Boult, 1 run, length delivery, angled into a firm biff to mid-off. Another single and Santner has the controls...

A final final three balls here ... 240 is going to be interesting...

Bumrah to Boult, 2 runs, attacking the body, swung lustily across the line ... decent connection out to midwicket and Boult wants the second... and gets it.. why not... every run counts

Shankar: "As an Indian supporter, more than being happy for. 2 back to back wickets, am much worried about Indian batsmen facing NZ bowlers in this condition. "

Bumrah to Boult, no run, short and sharp, Boult swings into a wild pull but the ball isn't there anymore

Boult is ... unorthodox. This could go anywhere. Ball and stumps included ...

Bumrah to Santner, 1 run, another full-toss, but on a wide line. Santner is livid with himself for failing to get that away. Boult on strike as mid-on intercepts a slog

Kumar to Henry, OUT, crashed mightily into the leg side ... but not mighty enough! Too much elevation on the stroke, not enough length to the longest part of the ground, and Kohli, 20 metres in, swallows the catch ... two wickets in the over, and now it's all down to Santner as he's joined by the tail

Kumar to Santner, 1 run, short ball, swatted in front of square with an energetic flurry of limbs

Kumar to Santner, FOUR, first boundary of the morning! A poor ball from Bhuvi, too much width across the left-hander, and a slower ball too. Santner thrives on sitting back in his crease, and was well placed to smoke it through the covers off the back foot
