NZ 253-7 (79 ovs) vs India 557-5d | Scorecard

India don't take the second new ball after 80 overs as Jadeja and Vijay continue with the old ball.

New Zealand are 254 for seven in 80 overs with 104 runs needed to avoid the follow-on.

With Vijay getting some balls to turn so big, one wonders why Ashwin has not been called to bowl after the tea break.

India take the second new ball after 82 overs but continues with the spinners.

Shami comes back as Vijay is taken off after seven overs. He bowls a short ball to Jeetan Patel, who ducks under a bouncer which doesn't rise much and is lucky that it was not aimed at his body else he would have been struck.

Patel then gets a thick outside edge which flies past the gully fielder for a four. He hits one straight back at Shami, who is unable to get low down on his follow through and take a tough return catch for two runs.

Ashwin to share the new ball. Two singles from the first five balls before Neesham turns the last ball through midwicket for a couple.

Shami from round the wicket is looking to target bouncers at Patel's body with a fielder stationed at leg slip for a top edge or if the batsman fends it in the air.

Patel has a wild swing to a full delivery to get an inside edge to deep square leg for one.
