Batting first after winning the toss, the Kiwis folded up for 235 in 65.4 overs. In response, India found themselves in big trouble as they headed to Stumps at 86-4 after 19 overs.

New Zealand’s batters found the going tough against India’s slow bowlers as Ravindra Jadeja starred with 5-65, while off-spinner Washington Sundar continued his impressive series, registering figures of 4-81. In the chase, the hosts were well placed at 78-1, but Yashasvi Jaiswal (30) and nightwatchman Mohammed Siraj (0) perished to Ajaz Patel off successive balls, while Virat Kohli (4) ran himself out.

Team India’s batting under the pump again in Mumbai

Responding to New Zealand’s first-innings total of 235, India again lost skipper Rohit Sharma (18) cheaply. Jaiswal (30) and Shubman Gill (31*) did well to lift the hosts to 78-1. However, the former played a poor reverse sweep to be knocked over by Ajaz Patel. The move to send Siraj in as nightwatchman backfired as he was trapped leg before first ball.

To make matters worse for Team India, Kohli was run-out following a massive error in judgment as a direct hit from Matt Henry at mid-on caught him well short of the crease. The hosts lost three wickets for a mere six runs to slip from a position of strength just a few minutes before stumps on Day 1.
