NZ 224-8 (80 ovs); Target: 434 | Scorecard

Ashwin to resume proceedings after the lunch break with India needing just three wickets for a victory.

The second ball turns big as Santner is beaten with Saha whipping off the bails and the leg umpire refers it to the third umpire. Santner has got his feet back in time and he survives the appeal.

Ashwin produces another beauty to beat Santer, getting it to turn across the left-hander.

Jadeja to bowl in tandem with Ashwin. He drops one short as Santner punches it through the off-side for a four before he takes a single.

Santner looking quite confident and positive. This time he makes most of a short ball from Ashwin, cutting it past point for seventh four which takes his score to 63.

Sodhi takes a cue from his partner as he paddles Jadeja fine on the leg side for a four.

In the next over, he survives a huge appeal for LBW as he comes forward to defend but is struck on the pads.

Ashwin finally gets his first wicket of the day and it is the key wicket of Santner, who is caught by Rohit after a fine innings of 71.

That gripped the pitch, turned big and bounced more than expected and Santer, who was committed to playing at it can only fend it to Rohit close on the off-side.

Santner played a superb innings, looked very solid and it needed a special delivery to get him out.
