Agarwal, Iyer steady India

December 03, 2021 15:45

India 156-3 (47 ovs) vs NZ | Scorecard

Off-spinner Somerville, who gave away 29 runs in six overs in first spell, comes back into the attack.

He drops short as Agarwal pulls it for a couple of runs with Ajaz putting in the dive at deep square leg to save the boundary.

Agarwal uses his feet and lofts the off-spinner high over long-off for a six.

Somerville goes round the wicket but fires it down the leg side, beating the wicketkeeper for four byes.

In the next over, Ajaz gets the ball to go straight on as Iyer gets an inside edge for a single and Agarwal takes a single on the off-side.

The last ball draws Iyer forward as he tries to push at the flighted delivery but it turns sharply to go past the edge and beats the wicketkeeper for a bye.

Iyer swings Somerville over the leg side where Southee nearly pulls of a blinder at deep midwicket. Southee takes a good catch leaping high on the edge of the boundary but the momentum carries over him and he does well to fling the ball in, and save the six as Iyer gets just a single.

Agarwal continues to target Somerville. He dances down the track and lofts the spinner over the off-side for a four, using the inside out lofted shot to great effect.

The last ball is down the leg side as Agarwal helps it along the way, for a boundary fine on the leg side.
