Henry Nicholls 7(31)
13.1
Ashwin to Nicholls, out Bowled!! .. And it takes him just one ball to join in the act of taking wickets - nicely bowled, lots of revolutions as he tossed one just outside off and kept coming back with the angle - Nicholls was playing for the turn as he lunged forward, but in doing so, he left a massive gap between bat and pad - the ball snuck through and went on to hit the top of off-stump. A classic off-spinner's wicket, against a left-handed batter and New Zealand have lost half their side. Nicholls b Ashwin 7(31) [4s-1]

12.4
Axar to Nicholls, 2 runs, appeal for a run-out as Nicholls was haring back for the second, but the Indians are hardly excited and that's because Nicholls is well in - a big top-edge on the sweep as Nicholls was done in by the extra bounce, but there's a massive gap between FSL and deep backward square leg - the ball drops in no man's land

Siraj to Nicholls, no run, big big appeal for LBW and India are reviewing. Did it pitch outside leg? Umpire Nitin Menon shook his head. It's a fair delivery, there's no bat and Nicholls has been struck on the knee-roll. Is it bouncing over? UltraEdge confirms no edge, pitching outside leg, a top call from umpire Menon. The moment getting to the Indians, but it pitched only marginally outside leg, nipped back in and struck Nicholls flush on the pads, would have been crashing into the stumps
