Siraj from the other end. The first ball is pushed into the covers by Southee, before he pokes and is beaten next ball.
Another play and miss from the Southee as he pushes at it before Siraj gets the ball to bounce and move late with wicketkeeper Jurel unable to collect it cleanly, to concede four byes.
Siraj again beats Southee outside the off-stump as he looks to force it through the off-side. The last ball again jags away to beat Southee for the fifth ball in a row, to end a fantastic over from Siraj.
Bumrah from the other end. Ravindra square drives the first ball to deep point for a single and Southee gets one off the next to race to his fifty from 57 balls as he ends up fending the sharp rising ball on the leg side.
New Zealand also go past the 350-run mark, as the lead goes beyond 300.
