Ravichandran Ashwin from the other end. Ajaz Patel is beaten first ball as he pushes away from his body and is beaten on the outside edge again next ball.

Ashwin makes it three plays and misses with another beauty which beats the outside edge.

Ajaz confidently gets forward to block before the fifth ball comes off the outside half.

The last ball is pitched right up and turns away as Ajaz looking to hit over the top is beaten for the fourth time in the over.

Jadeja continues as O'Rourke drives the full delivery to deep point for a single to get off strike.

Ajaz continues to struggle as he is beaten on the inside edge this time, trying to swat over the leg side. He gets the leading edge next ball but it clears Kohli at short midwicket for a single.

O'Rourke does well to tap the next ball off his pads for one on the leg side.

Ajaz goes for the slog sweep but straight into the hands of Akash Deep at midwicket.

Jadeja takes his second five-wicket haul of the match to finish with 10 wickets in the match. He took 5/55 in the second innings to finish with excellent match figures of 10/120, while Ashwin found some form with 3/63.

New Zealand are bowled out for 174 in 45.5 overs in their second innings. India need 147 for victory to avoid the series sweep.
