The odd ball stopping made the batters’ job tougher.New Zealand were in dire straits, but all hope was not lost with last match’s centurion Michael Bracewell (22) and the equally dangerous Glenn Phillips (36) in the middle.Bracewell made his intent clear by stepping out to whack Shami over cover.

However, both were dismissed in a space of six balls to end New Zealand’s hopes of a recovery.While Santner played a well disguised slower ball from Hardik on to the stumps, Phillips gave a regulation catch to Suryakumar Yadav at deep midwicket off a long hop from Washington Sundar (2/7).Kuldeep Yadav (1/29) trapped number 11 Blair Tickner in front to end the New Zealand innings in 34.3 overs.(With PTI inputs)Featured Video Of The Day”Athletes Across India Today Have Nobody To Go To”: Bhaichung BhutiaTopics mentioned in this article
