Ajaz Patel 6-57(14.1 ov)
29.1
Ajaz Patel to Washington Sundar, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! New Zealand create history! They have whitewashed India in India! Ajaz Patel, fittingly, wraps it up. And his team-mates mob him. Tossed up full and outside off, Washington Sundar gets down on one leg to slogsweep and misses it altogether. The ball spins back in to beat the inside edge and crashes into the stumps. Washington Sundar b Ajaz Patel 12(25)
27.6
Ajaz Patel to Ashwin, no run, more spin on this occasion, Ashwin is once again on the back foot to try and defend. Too much spin and that saves Ashwin
27.5
Ajaz Patel to Ashwin, no run, 93kph, quicker one, spins away with extra bounce and beats Ashwin on the outside edge as he goes back to block

27.1

25.6
Ajaz Patel to Washington Sundar, no run, 85kph, Sundar gets forward and shoulders arms to allow the ball to hit his pad. Ajaz's lbw appeal has been turned down. Latham takes his time and decides to send it upstairs. No shot played, so the impact doesn't matter. Missing off! That wasn't turning enough and New Zealand have lost all their reviews
25.5
Ajaz Patel to Ashwin, 1 run, patted towards cover for a single off the back foot
25.4
Ajaz Patel to Ashwin, byes, FOUR, 83.7kph, turn and bounce from a full length outside off, Ashwin leans forward to drive. Beaten comprehensively on the outside edge and the ball goes between the keeper and first slip. Short third man and short fine leg give a chase but to no avail
25.3
Ajaz Patel to Ashwin, no run, beaten again! More air, slightly fuller, Ashwin gets forward to defend. Turn and bounce, lucky not to nick off

Ajaz Patel to Ashwin, no run, in-drifting full delivery, Ashwin blocks it out
21.4
Ajaz Patel to Pant, out Caught by Blundell!! Celebrappeal from Ajaz, umpire Illingworth is unmoved. Latham has a word with his team-mates and signals 'T'. Pant wears a smile. Pant dances down the pitch and isn't anywhere close to the pitch of the ball. The in-turning ball pops up off the pad before going into the keeper's gloves. The question here is, did the batter get any inside edge/glove on it? There's a murmur on UltraEdge when the ball is close to the bat and New Zealand are already celebrating. Pant is seen having a word with the onfield umpires, probably pointing that it's his bat hitting the pad. "We've got bat hitting the pad," says the TV umpire. After a couple more replays, Paul Reiffel reckons there's a deflection! "We have bat on pad but we have ball on the bat," he says. And, Richard Illingworth's call has been overturned. Pant doesn't want to leave. He's distraught as he takes the long walk back. Definite murmur when the ball is close to the bat. An inside edge onto the pad or bat hitting the pad or both? Was there enough evidence to overturn the original call? Third umpire - Reiffel - thought there was. Big moment! Pant c Blundell b Ajaz Patel 64(57) [4s-9 6s-1]
21.3
Ajaz Patel to Pant, FOUR, second boundary of the over! Ajaz bowls this fuller, Pant gets down on one leg and slogsweeps it over square leg. Hit with the spin for a one-bounce four
21.2
Ajaz Patel to Pant, no run, appeal for a catch at slip, turned down. Ajaz isn't confident but New Zealand review it. Floated up outside off, hits the deck outside off and spins back in to hit the front leg outside the line of off-stump as Pant presses forward to block. Did he get a faint inside edge? Clear gap between bat and ball. The TV umpire is certain that the impact is outside off. New Zealand lose a review!
21.1
Ajaz Patel to Pant, FOUR, 86.8kph, Pant comes down the track, gets too close to the pitch of the ball and goes hard on the loft. Comes off the inner half of the bat and there are shouts of 'catch it' but it beats O'Rourke to his left. One bounce and into the fence

19.1
Ajaz Patel to Washington Sundar, 2 runs, a chance and Sundar has been dropped - Conway did all the hard yards, ran a long way across to his right at deep mid-wicket - just about got there and there goes the chance, off his fingertip.

Ajaz Patel to Jadeja, out Caught by Will Young!! The partnership has been broken and Wankhede goes silent once again.

Flatter and spinning into the left-hander, RJ went back on the flick, gets an inside edge that popped off his thigh-pad, Young was initially moving to his left, changes track, dives and comes up with a beauty.
