NZ 45-3 (18 ovs); Target: 434 | Scorecard

Williamson delaying Jadeja but taking a lot of time between each delivery. The left-arm spinner is ready to bowl but has to wait quite long as Williamson goes to the side of the pitch and takes his time to get ready to face the next delivery.

Williamson plays an unconvincing shot off Ashwin as he lofts him over the leg side but fails to time it. He is lucky that with some many fielders close in, it fell on the empty spaces on the leg side and went for a four.

But Ashwin gets his man two balls later, trapping him leg before wicket to complete his 200 wickets in Test cricket and becoming the second fastest to achieve the feat in the longer format.

Ashwin is the fastest Indian to complete 200 wickets in Tests, from just 37 matches, just behind Australia's Clarrie Grimmett, who achieved the feat in 36 games.

Williamson played back to a full delivery as he looked to defend but missed and was caught in front to be dismissed for 25 and leave New Zealand reeling on 43 for three, in the 18th over.
