NZ 236-9 (97 ovs) vs India 217 | Scorecard

Ashwin into the attack for the first time on Day 5. Southee slaps the second ball through the covers for a four as Ashwin gives him some width. Two balls later, he runs the ball on the off-side behind point for a single before Neil Wagner plays out the last two balls.

Southee on the attack. He swings the length ball from Ishant over mid-on and even though it hasn't come off the middle it has gone all the way for a six.

Kohli urging Ishant to try the slower ball which he does as Southee taps it on the off-side.

Southee shuffles across a long way as Ishant tries to target the leg stump but ends up bowling it down the leg side.

Another slower ball from Ishant which again slips down the leg side.

The right-hander then clips a full delivery through square leg for two runs. He plays a cracking drive off the last ball but the fielder in the cover does well to stop it.

Ashwin bowls a beauty to get rid of Wagner for a duck. He gets the ball to turn sharply and bounce as the left-hander looks to defend but the ball takes the edge and Rahane after an initial fumble takes it on the rebound.

Trent Boult comes down the track and drives Ashwin to mid-on for a single.

Southee sweeps the last ball as it goes off his pads and is taken by Kohli at leg slip. He immediately takes the review after the umpire rules it out.

There is nothing on the UltraEdge as the ball passes the bat and the decision has to be overturned.

The last ball turns sharply as Southee is unable to get a single off it.
