India 142-6 (63 ovs) & 217 vs NZ 249 | Scorecard

Pant trying everything now. He reverse sweeps Wagner to thirdman for a single before Jadeja goes right back and blocks the short ball.

Wagner slips the short ball down the leg side as Jadeja is able to leave it alone before the bouncer hits him on the body and falls on the leg side.

The last ball, again a bouncer, goes very wide and Jadeja has an easy leave.

Pant is beaten as he tries to drive Jamieson through the covers before he is hit on the body trying to pull, as the ball comes off slower than expected.

Pant gets another lifeline. Conway misses a run out opportunity as he kicks the ball towards the stumps with Pant struggling to make his crease trying for a quick single. Conway on the off-side had enough time to pick the ball up and aim at the stumps instead of trying to kick it.

Jadeja drives the last ball through the covers as Jamieson drifts wide for three runs.

In the next over, Jadeja goes back and flicks Wagner over the fielder at forward short leg, who takes evasive action.

After a barrage of short balls, Wagner surprise Jadeja with a full delivery  which he edges and is caught behind for 16. Jadeja, who was camped on the backfoot because of the short balls, played from the crease and got the edge to be caught by Watling.

India lose their sixth wicket, with an overall lead of 110 runs.
