Bumrah strikes again; NZ 2 down

October 20, 2024


NZ 43-2 (13 ovs); Target to win: 107 | Scorecard

Bumrah to bowl his seventh over of the spell, he had bowled four deliveries on Day 4 before play was suspended due to bad light.

He pitches it up from round the wicket as Conway uses the angle to flick it through the leg side for a four.

The next ball strikes him on the pads as Bumrah appeals and Rohit after consulting the bowler and close-in fielders takes the DRS.

Conway was beaten on the defence and struck on the backfoot. There is no edge and the ball has struck in line and going on to hit the stumps.

The decision is overturned as New Zealand lose their second wicket with Conway leg before wicket for 17.

Rachin Ravindra, who stroked a century in the first innings, is off the mark with a boundary as he opens the face of the bat and steers Bumrah past the gully fielder.

Another overpitched delivery as Ravindra plays a stylish flick in the gap through midwicket for another boundary.
