After 70 overs,India 221/4 ( Mayank Agarwal 120 , Wriddhiman Saha (W) 25)

Expensive over from Ajaz Patel, with eight runs coming off it. In the penultimate ball, Agarwal launches over long-off for a maximum. Agarwal continues to be in good touch, and he’s doing a great job in frustrating Kiwi bowlers.

After 65 overs,India 207/4 ( Mayank Agarwal 107 , Wriddhiman Saha (W) 24)

Daryl Mitchell continues, and keeps things tight to earn a maiden over. Players take a break for the final drinks break of the day, with around 13 overs scheduled to be bowled.

After 64 overs,India 207/4 ( Mayank Agarwal 107 , Wriddhiman Saha (W) 24)

Ajaz Patel continues, with Saha facing him. Good running between the wickets from Mayank Agarwal and Saha as the latter collects three runs.

After 63 overs,India 204/4 ( Mayank Agarwal 107 , Wriddhiman Saha (W) 21)

Mayank continues his rampage. He brings up a sweetly-driven cover drive to find the boundary ropes for a four. Five dots otherwise in Daryl Mitchell’s over.

After 59 overs,India 193/4 ( Mayank Agarwal 101 , Wriddhiman Saha (W) 16)

Daryl Mitchell continues. Mayank Agarwal gets to his fourth Test century with a superby driven shot through the covers. Five runs off the over.

After 56 overs,India 181/4 ( Mayank Agarwal 95 , Wriddhiman Saha (W) 11)

Rachin Ravindra is into the attack now, for just his second over in the match. He kept things tight for most of the over, but Mayank finds the boundary in the last ball of the over, managing a pull to the deep midwicket boundary. Just the boundary off it.

After 52 overs,India 164/4 ( Mayank Agarwal 89 , Wriddhiman Saha (W) 0)

Ajaz Patel continues after the drinks break. Mayank collects a couple of runs towards deep backward point where the man there makes a diving stop. Saha, meanwhile, is yet to get off the mark after facing 12 balls. Three from the over.

After 48 overs,India 160/4 ( Mayank Agarwal 85 , Wriddhiman Saha (W) 0)

Ajaz Patel gets his fourth wicket as Shreyas Iyer is caught by Tom Blundell. Flighted ball on the leg stump and Shreyas got an edge only to gift it to the Kiwi wicketkeeper. Wriddhiman Saha is the new batter. Four runs and a wicket.

After 47 overs,India 156/3 ( Mayank Agarwal 85 , Shreyas Iyer 14)

Somerville continues. Shreyas looks to go for the biggie right away towards deep midwicket, but Santner, standing exactly at the ropes pulls the ball back and saves five runs for the Kiwis. In the fifth ball however Mayank finds the long-off boundary for a four, and brings another four in the last ball by finding the fine leg fence. Nine runs off the over.

After 45 overs,India 144/3 ( Mayank Agarwal 76 , Shreyas Iyer 12)

Mayank Agarwal seems to be in very good touch, especially against the spinners. He goes for the lofted drive, powering the ball over the long-off boundary for a six. The very next ball, Mayank gets four leg byes. Will Somerville won’t be happy with how things are going on for him. 12 runs coming off the over.

After 41 overs,India 121/3 ( Mayank Agarwal 58 , Shreyas Iyer 11)

Tim Southee continues. He delivers an overpitched ball in the second, and Mayank goes for the drive, finding the gap wide of cover for a boundary. The outfield is quick as well. Five runs from the over.

After 37 overs,India 111/3 ( Mayank Agarwal 52 , Shreyas Iyer 7)

Rachin Ravindra is introduced to the attack. Probably the last over before tea break. Mayank Agarwal gets to his fifty with a late cut shot as he guides the ball towards the boundary rope. Five runs from the last over of the first session, and it looks even at the moment. India finish the first session of the day at 111/3 from 37 overs. Do join us for the post-tea session in a few minutes.

After 36 overs,India 106/3 ( Mayank Agarwal 47 , Shreyas Iyer 7)

Ajaz Patel continues. He keeps things tight, giving away just one run, that of Mayank’s single in the over.

After 33 overs,India 101/3 ( Mayank Agarwal 42 , Shreyas Iyer 7)

Tim Southee returns. Costy from Southee with two fours from Shreyas Iyer. 10 runs come off the over as India surpass their team 100.

After 32 overs,India 91/3 ( Mayank Agarwal 42 , Shreyas Iyer 1)

Expensive over from Ajaz after that previous dramatic over. Mayank with a stunning six and four off the last two balls of the over as 11 runs come from it.

After 30 overs,India 80/3 ( Mayank Agarwal 32 , Shreyas Iyer 0)

Ajaz returns. There’s a review for LBW against Pujara. UltraEdge shows a gap between bat and ball. The ball is pitching in line, and impact’s in line but the wickets are missing. NZ lose their review. But, guess what? The very next ball Pujara is cleaned up by Ajaz. He has to depart and captain Kohli comes in at number four. There’s another review for LBW against Kohli in the same over, and it’s a tough call. Seemed like there was a slight spike in UltraEdge but the TV umpire says he did not find any conclusive evidence for a ‘bat first’. Hawkeye shows all reds, and Kohli has to go. Shreyas Iyer is the new batter. Talk about insane drama!

After 28 overs,India 80/1 ( Mayank Agarwal 32 , Cheteshwar Pujara 0)

New Zealand finally get a breakthrough. Ajaz Patel gets rid of the set Shubman Gill (44) courtesy a catch by Ross Taylor at slips. Partnership broken. Cheteshwar Pujara comes in at number three for India. A wicket maiden.

After 27 overs,India 80/0 ( Mayank Agarwal 32 , Shubman Gill 44)

Expensive over from Somerville. Two fours from Shubman Gill who is into his 40s now. This is good stuff from the Indian openers. Nine runs from the over.

After 26 overs,India 71/0 ( Mayank Agarwal 32 , Shubman Gill 35)

Ajaz Patel continues after drinks break. There’s a man at midwicket and a man at deep square leg. Ajaz gets some turn in the last ball of the over and beats Mayank the batter. Maiden over.

After 25 overs,India 71/0 ( Mayank Agarwal 32 , Shubman Gill 35)

Somerville resumes. Just four runs from the over including two leg byes. India seem in a quite comfortable position at the moment, but it’s time for players to have a drink. New Zealand will have a lot to ponder up heading into the final hour of the post-lunch session as they search for a breakthrough.

After 24 overs,India 67/0 ( Mayank Agarwal 31 , Shubman Gill 34)

Ajaz Patel continues. Mayank gets two leg byes right away, but it seems like Ajaz Patel’s plans to tackle the openers is not going as expected. Just those couple of runs from the over.

After 21 overs,India 63/0 ( Mayank Agarwal 29 , Shubman Gill 34)

Somerville continues. Shubman Gill with a huge six as he glances one over to the deep midwicket fence. He showed class and maturity in that one. Seven runs from the over.

After 19 overs,India 56/0 ( Mayank Agarwal 28 , Shubman Gill 28)

The Indian openers are having it easy at the moment. Mayank Agarwal and Shubman Gill bring up their 50-run stand, and that milestone was followed by a boundary off Mayank, getting a thick inside edge off Somerville and beating the fielder at midwicket boundary.

After 16 overs,India 45/0 ( Mayank Agarwal 21 , Shubman Gill 24)

Ajaz Patel continues for the 16th over of the Indian innings. There’s an appeal for stumping against Agarwal, but TV replays show Agarwal has made his ground.

After 13 overs,India 39/0 ( Mayank Agarwal 15 , Shubman Gill 24)

Boundaries keep coming for India. Shubman Gill with a boundary each in the 12th and 13th overs, while the Kiwis are trying to do almost everything to break this stand.

After 11 overs,India 30/0 ( Mayank Agarwal 15 , Shubman Gill 15)

Southee continues. He bowls five dot balls to begin the over with, but Shubman Gill gets a thick inside edge  towards midwicket for a single off the last ball. Time for a drinks break as players take a small breather.

After 10 overs,India 29/0 ( Mayank Agarwal 15 , Shubman Gill 14)

Southee continues for the ninth over, and gives away just three singles. Tidy stuff from Ajaz Patel in the tenth as he collects his first maiden.

After 8 overs,India 26/0 ( Mayank Agarwal 13 , Shubman Gill 13)

Ajaz Patel is introduced as New Zealand make their first bowling change. He concedes just the single off Mayank in the last ball of the over.
