Outburst from Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma as Yashasvi Jaiswal's reckless throw narrowly misses Sarfaraz Khan: 'Watch their reactions'

Rohit and his team came onto the field with great determination, aiming to dominate New Zealand in the second innings. They quickly took key wickets and established their superiority. Akash Deep delivered a fantastic performance, deceiving captain Tom Latham, while the spin trio each secured a crucial wicket. As a result, New Zealand found themselves struggling at 94 for the loss of four wickets.

Meanwhile, the 26th over of the innings witnessed a light moment in the game when Jaiswal's throw from deep mid-wicket nearly struck Sarfaraz, leaving Rohit and Kohli giggling on the field.

Earlier, Shubman Gill (90) stitched a crucial 96-run stand for the fifth wicket with wicketkeeper batter Rishabh Pant (60) and rescued India from a tricky stage. Gill survived a reprieve on 45 by substitute fielder Mark Chapman, who failed to hang on to a high catch off Phillips' bowling while running in from long-on.

Gill reached his fifty with a single and Pant kept up the attack with regular boundaries to raise his half-ton in 36 balls.

Washington Sundar also played a crucial cameo lower down the order with an unbeaten 38-run knock off 36 balls, which helped India overtake New Zealand's first innings score and claimed a crucial 28-run lead.

Ajaz Patel led the New Zealand bowling attack in the first inning. The Kiwi spinner picked up five wickets and gave 103 runs. Matt Henry, Glenn Phillips and Ish Sodhi also picked one wicket each in their respective spells.
