NZ 1st inns: 316-6 (80 ovs)


Bracewell is not resorting to the sweep but is playing late and with the spin. He plays the first four balls from Ashwin with the spin on the leg side and once even hit it through the short fine leg fielder.

Bracewell then hit it straight down the ground for one before van Wyk sweeps it for another single to end the over.

Indian spinners seem to have no answers for van Wyk who is tormenting them with the sweep. He brings out the sweep yet again as he gets a boundary through square leg off Ojha, but defends for the rest of that over.

Bracewell chips Ashwin over midwicket to get two runs to the fielder on the boundary. He defends the next ball with a straight ball watching it carefully all the way till the bat as the 7th wicket partnership has grown to 70.

The new ball is available now. Will India go for it right away?
