The start of play was delayed on Day 5 and chasing 107 for victory, the Kiwis got off to a shaky start after Jasprit Bumrah took out Tom Latham, trapping him LBW. Latham took the DRS but had to walk back for a duck.

Devon Conway struggled before he was also trapped in front of the stumps as Bumrah took the review and won the appeal.
