NZ 276-7 (86 ovs) vs India 165 | Scorecard
A full wide delivery from Bumrah as de Grandhomme steers it to deep point for one and Jamieson gets a thick outside edge off the next for another single.
Bumrah then tries the short ball at de Grandhomme but it is going down the leg side as the right-hander leaves it. Another bouncer follows but this one rises quite high and is ruled a wide.
Shami continues as Jamieson picks a single on the off-side and de Grandhomme takes one off an inside edge.
Jamieson goes for the pull again but this time he gets a top edge which flies over the wicketkeeper for a six as the lead crosses the 100-run mark.
Spin introduced as Ashwin comes into the attack for the first time on Day 3.
De Grandhomme clips the first ball to midwicket for one before Jamieson tries to swing the spinner over the leg side but can't make proper connection. He tries another big shot off the last ball and again he can't get it off the middle.
In the next over, Jamieson drives Shami through the covers for three runs to raise the 50-run stand for the eighth wicket from 67 balls.
Jamieson has played a vital hand with the bat, hitting 27 from 31 balls, while de Grandhomme has batted steadily to score 30 from 46 balls.
