Bowling and using my experience to put New Zealand on top. Disappointing first season for India.
Axar was the bowlers’ choice as he took his fifth five-wicket haul to hurt the Black Caps. He reached the feat in the 128th over by dismissing Tim Southee with a delivery angle. With the five-fer, in what is his fourth Test performance, he became the Indian bowler with the highest five-wicket haul in the first four Tests.
The overnight batsmen – Tom Latham and Will Young – resumed the innings at 129 for 0 and added 22 runs on aggregate before Ashwin was hit and provided much-needed breakthrough after working hard for the full one-and-a-half . session on Friday. Young (89) bowled a turning ball that did not bounce much and KS Bharat, who came in as Saha’s substitute, took a quick catch.

Young’s dismissal made way for captain Kane Williamson, who along with Tom Latham kept the scoreboard ticking. They added another 46 runs for the second wicket before Umesh Yadav dismissed the Kiwi skipper for 18 at lunch.
Once Ashwin broke the deadlock in the morning session, the other bowlers became active after lunch and the New Zealand batsmen stuttered. Soon Axar came into the scene and took down Ross Taylor (11) to take his first wicket.
In his next over, he trapped Henry Nicholls (2) in front and took the prized wicket of Tom Latham (95), who was on the cusp of his 12th Test century. The batsman went down the line to smoke Axar out of the park, but ended up tossing the ball and went straight to the keeper. Bharat was quick enough to grab it and overthrow the wickets before Latham came into the field.
Ravindra Jadeja was in the field to pick up his first wicket as he removed all-rounder Rachin Ravindra (13) before the tea break.
In the third session, wicketkeeper Tom Blundell teamed up with Kyle Jamieson to try to show some resistance, but Akshar had a different plan. In the 123rd over, the left-hander returned to clean bowl Blundell (13) and then Tim Southee (5) to complete his half-century.
Ashwin again came into the picture and bundled out New Zealand’s last two wickets – Jamieson (23) and William Somerville (6) – for 296.
In the second innings, as India lost an early wicket, Jamieson struck early and found a gaping hole between his bat and pad. With this dismissal, he became the fastest New Zealand bowler to take 50 Test wickets.
Jamieson achieved the feat in just nine innings, breaking the records of former fast bowler Shane Bond (12) and Chris Martin (13).
The pitch did not change its character on the third day as it remained low and slow, but the Indian spinners did better as timing changed the pace of their deliveries.
During the session, Ashwin was seen engaging in an animated discussion with umpire Nitin Menon after he decided to come round the wicket against Williamson and warned him to walk on dangerous territory on his follow-through, which prompted the umpire’s view. also interrupted.
The intention was to create some rough with my bowling in this area.
After understanding the motive, Menon spoke to Ashwin and captain Ajinkya Rahane and after some discussion things got back to normal.
