Jadeja to Ravindra, no run, Oh, the short leg fielder had just been moved to short mid-on. Where does the ball go? Towards where short leg would have been. Quicker on middle and leg, he gets a thick inside-edge to the on-side

Jadeja to Ravindra, SIX, BANG! Tossed up on middle, he jumps down the track, does not reach the pitch of the ball but Rachin clears long-on with ease with a free swing of the bat. He was so quick on his feet and more importantly got under the ball.

Ashwin to Ravindra, no run, That is a lovely delivery from Ashwin and not a great shot from Rachin. Gets the ball to drop in around off and turn sharply away from Rachin. He goes for a slog sweep, is nowhere near it

Thanks, Monga. That wicket seems to have turned the momentum India's way. This is one such surface where one wicket can bring three or four very quickly. Ravindra holds the key for NZ. Mitchell has started very nervously. An extended drinks break being taken. It is very humid in Pune.
Joe: "What would be an ideal score for nz to considered as an advantage taking in note the amount of turn its gonna be in upcoming days" I'd say around 350

Ashwin to Mitchell, no run, appeal for lbw as this beats the outside edge. He is forward again but nowhere close to the pitch of the ball. However, he does seem to have got outside the line
