Stumps ভারত A 346 and 32 for 0 (Jaiswal 20*, Sai Sudharsan 11*) trail নিউজিল্যান্ড A 424 (Boyle 110, Foxcroft 93, Mukesh 5-87, Siraj 4-118) by 46 রান
Stumps ভারত A 346 and 32 for 0 (Jaiswal 20*, Sai Sudharsan 11*) trail নিউজিল্যান্ড A 424 (Boyle 110, Foxcroft 93, Mukesh 5-87, Siraj 4-118) by 46 রান। An overnight অনবদ্য জুটি of 208 was ended in the second over of the day. ভারত A took four উইকেট in the দিনের প্রথম সেশন for just 73 রান to have নিউজিল্যান্ড A 291 for 7 at lunch. A slender lead was in the offing, only for it to be scuttled by the lower-order resistance. The last three উইকেট kept the Indians on the field for a further 43 overs and the last-উইকেট stand stretched for nearly 25 overs to take the sheen off the Indian seamers' performance until then and give নিউজিল্যান্ড A a 78-রান first-innings lead.। ভারত A openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and B Sai Sudharsan then saw off the 11 overs before stumps without much trouble. Jaiswal, who has made 17, 5 and 0 in three innings on this tour before this innings, looked assured and hit three fours in his stay. Both Sai Sudharsan and Jaiswal negotiated the little movement the new-ball bowlers generated, and were watchful. There was a brief scare on the final ball of the day, when Jaiswal walked down the track to a length ball from quick Brett Randell. He was squared up and the ball passed close to the outside edge. The umpire, though, did not uphold নিউজিল্যান্ড A's appeal.।
Earlier, Mohammed Siraj struck with his first ball of the day to have Matthew Boyle caught at slip for 110. Devdutt Padikkal, the lone slip fielder, flew to his left to take a one-handed catch almost behind him to end the huge অনবদ্য জুটি.। Four balls after ভারত A took the second new ball, Siraj was at it again to deny Dean Foxcroft a শতক, trapping him lbw for 93. It was a contentious call, though, with Foxcroft taking a long stride towards off and the ball pinging him on the front pad.। Mukesh Kumar then had wicketkeeper Mitchell Hay feathering an edge behind in the next over.।
The morning session was all about the ভারত A seamers testing both sides of the নিউজিল্যান্ড A batters' edges. After lunch, Akash Deep actually managed to get Fraser Sheat to edge one to first slip, only for R Smaran to shell the simple offering. Little did they know that it would prolong their stay on the field and cost them the lead.। By the time Mukesh had Sheat caught by Padikkal at slip for 40 to complete his five-উইকেট haul, নিউজিল্যান্ড A were into the lead. The lead would have been nipped at 25 had Siraj not shelled Jayden Lennox at mid-off off Washington Sundar. Lennox and No. 11 Jarrod McKay then played within themselves and slowly stretched নিউজিল্যান্ড A's lead. They were even happy to play out five maidens in seven overs on either side of the tea interval.। Siraj's desperation for a পাঁচ উইকেট শিকার only played into নিউজিল্যান্ড A's hands. They took full toll whenever a tired Siraj went off radar in a prolonged spell or Akash Deep strayed on the pads to grow the lead. ভারত A's ordeal only ended after a 55-রান অনবদ্য জুটি when McKay misread an arm ball from Washington Sundar and was bowled for 33 off 75 balls, his highest score in first-class cricket.।
Once again it's that big in swinger that causes Jaiswal's downfall. Late on the shot as he prods forward. He's a dead duck. Jaiswal's third straight low score on tour. Sheat gets that banana swing going, starts from outside off and curves back in a long way. Jaiswal had no answers.। McKay strikes first ball after lunch as Sudharsan nicks off. He comes in from around the উইকেট, the angle takes the ball away as it straightens, Sudharsan has a poke at that and he doesn't even wait for the keeper to complete the catch. He was on his bike immediately. Poor stroke after doing all the hard work.। Padikkal pays the price for over aggression. This was short alright, but certainly not enough width on offer to flay that behind point. Padikkal is bitterly disappointed with the shot. নিউজিল্যান্ড are fighting back.।
nibbles away at a full delivery and nicks off. Rathod was looking so good, but a split-second's indecision has cost him. A very tentative poke to a delivery that angled in and straightened off the seam. By then, Rathod was committed forward. A উইকেট well-deserved.। Edged behind and taken at second slip। Randell has been threatening today and he gets the big breakthrough।
. Fuller side of length outside off, just a bit of inswing, and Jurel gets across to block and gets a thick outside edge to Mariu's right, and he dives to take a low catch. Fantastic knock from the ভারত A skipper comes to an end। given out first ball। Sheat on a hat-trick and Smaran walks back having left one alone. This one came back in a long way from around the stumps, Smaran offered no stroke thinking this may be bouncing over. But he was right back inside the crease and the ball didn't have a long way to travel.।
the afternoon continues to get better for Sheat. Dream start to the final session as Washington's defiance is over. Full, straight, late tail and plumb in front as he misses it.। Double-Nelson has struck. The bait is taken. Lennoxx flights a gorgeous, wide delivery tempting the ব্যাটার into a booming drive. Suthar obliges, feathers an outside edge, and Mitch Hay makes no mistake behind the sticks. Classic bowling intelligence। aaand the entertainment comes to an end. Length ball on off, Akasah clears his front leg and heaves, no timing on this one as the lobs up towards deep cover. Dean Foxcroft out there pockets an easy catch to close out the innings।
Oh, and Siraj tries to go for a big shot and gets cleaned up। B acks away to this full ball on off and has a big swing. Misses it altogether and loses his off-stump। A bit of a brain-fade from him, facing the last ball of this over, but that's his innings done for a duck।
Siraj reaps the rewards for a magnificent, probing spell of fast bowling. He lands this one on a demanding length, locking the ব্যাটার right on the crease. No wild swing, just relentless accuracy that asks the tough questions. Mariu feels for it on the front foot, feathers the outside edge. Dhruv Jurel dived brilliantly to his right to snaffle a fine catch। Mukesh gets his first, and what a setup। He pitches it full and tempts Heaphy wide outside off stump. Heaphy bites, reaching out for the cover drive, but the late movement nips away to take the edge, flying straight into the safe hands of Jaiswal at gully।
নিউজিল্যান্ড A are three down for virtually nothing here. This is top-class Test match bowling from Mukesh Kumar. This one nipped in sharply from off stump; Robinson looked like he was expecting the away-swinger, but this one jagged back in viciously, beat the bat, and pinned him right in front. The cordon goes up in unison, the বোলার joins them, and umpire Craig Pryor has no hesitation in raising the dreaded finger। Stunner from Padikkal early in the day। End of the centurion Boyle's stay. Siraj angles this one away from a length on middle and off. He pokes at it and gets a thick outside edge. Padikkal, the lone slip fielder, throws himself to his left to pull off a low catch. Almost caught it behind him. That should spur the Indians up।
The 208-রান stand is broken। Heartbreak for Foxcroft. Falls just seven short of a brilliant শতক। This one jags back in sharply with the angle. Foxcroft advances down the track, misses the shot for once, and gets pinned plumb in front. The cordon and the বোলার go up in unison. Umpire Craig Pryor acknowledges the appeal and raises the finger. Foxcroft looks visibly unhappy as he trudges off, but what an absolute masterclass in ataraxia it was while it lasted।
No, but the outswinger does the job। Back of a length outside off, an innocuous delivery moving way away. Mitch Hay looks to play a cut shot, a nothing shot, you could say, and feathers one straight to the keeper.। Mukesh bags his fourth. Back of a length on off, just angling away from the ব্যাটার. Clarke advances a bit, pokes at the away-going delivery, and Smaran at first slip takes an easy catch।
Another one nips in sharply from outside off. Randell, perhaps already thinking about lunch, shoulders arms to a delivery slightly fuller than the previous one, and watches in horror as it thumps straight into the stumps। উইকেট right after the delay. That shiny new ball does the damage instantly। Full and shaping away late, sheer loss of focus after the pause as he reaches out to play away from his body. Edged, and Padikkal makes no mistake taking a neat catch. Mukesh bags five.।
Finally. ভারত break the last-উইকেট stand that spanned close to 25 overs। Tossed up on a fullish length around middle and leg, looked to be the arm ball. McKay went for the drive with the turn that was non-existant. Sees his woodwork shattered. নিউজিল্যান্ড A finish with a 78-রান lead।
