- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR46.3 loose shot and Jaiswal is gone. He tamely chips this lofted drive to mid-off. Came off the toe end I suspect. Wonder how much of that shot and the lack of concentration was down to the hamstring twinge he felt in the previous over. He looks bitterly disappointed, but it's been a fantastic innings nonetheless. 175/185.6 and Gibson strikes! Absolute drama here. He bowls full, just outside off and gets there ball to land perfectly - bolt upright seam - and nip back in, Sudharsan is on the prod, but the ball zips through to sneak past the inside edge and crash into the stumps. No hundred for Sudharsan, who battled hard. 275/362.6 out caught nicking! Padikkal plays a very loose drive outside off and gets a faint nick through to the keeper. Feet nowhere to the pitch, just hands through with the stroke and the seam movement has done the trick. 209/292.1 Oh, Jurel holes out! Takes on a short ball around off and he's not in control of this pull. The ball balloons up and deep backward square moves a few paces to his right to settle under it. Cameron Paul picks up his first wicket for New Zealand A. The catch is taken by Alex Stead, Gary Stead's son, who is just helping out as a sub fielder. He is a part-time groundstaff here at Lincoln University, where he has apparently just completed a course 306/4112.2 jabs at a length ball that angles in and holds its line, ends up getting a healthy edge that's gobbled up at slip. 350/5Extras32 (b 13, lb 6, nb 7, w 6)TOTAL464/5d (146 Overs, RR: 3.17)Fall of wickets: 1-175 (Yashasvi Jaiswal, 46.3 ov), 2-209 (Devdutt Padikkal, 62.6 ov), 3-275 (Sai Sudharsan, 85.6 ov), 4-306 (Dhruv Jurel, 92.1 ov), 5-350 (Ravindra Jadeja, 112.2 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR3.1 Bowled 'im! Prasidh punches the air as the ball crashes into the off stump. Mariu looks to drive as Prasidh pitches it up, but is beaten all ends up by the movement. Ends up playing down the wrong line and paying the price. Was an outswinger that nipped in off the pitch 7/19.4 full, straight and gone! Heaphy plays all around this delivery and is pinned plumb in front as Prasidh gets the ball to seam in. This would've crashed into middle and leg. 26/2Extras6 (b 5, lb 1)TOTAL36/2 (14 Overs, RR: 2.57)Fall of wickets: 1-7 (Rhys Mariu, 3.1 ov), 2-26 (Curtis Heaphy, 9.4 ov)
