Ravindra hits fifty as NZ swell lead

October 18, 2024


NZ 271-7 (73 ovs) vs India 46 | Scorecard

Ravindra takes a single off Jadeja's first ball. The next ball strikes Southee on the pads as he looks to defend. There is a huge shout for leg before wicket but there seems to be an inside edge as umpire Michael Gough turns it down.

Southee gets a thick inside edge looking to heave it away for two runs to deep square leg.

He clips the last ball to square leg for a single to retain strike.

Ravichandran Ashwin comes into the attack for the first time on Day 3 as he replaces Kuldeep.

Southee takes a single to long-on before Ravindra clips the next ball for two runs through square leg.

Ashwin gifts the well-settled Ravindra a full toss, which he despatches over long-on for a six.

The momentum is firmly back with New Zealand with 26 runs coming from the last three overs.

A close shave for Southee as he looks to guide Jadeja fine but ends up steering it into Jurel's leg as the ball flies over Rohit at slip for a single.
