India vs New Zealand 1st Test Day 5 Highlights: NZ end 36-year wait for Test win in IND, win by 8 wickets

India vs New Zealand Live Score 1st Test Day 5: Desperate times, desperate measures. No way Bumrah could bowl a ninth consecutive over, Rohit probably knows that Ashwin is completely off colour. And so Siraj is handed the ball after having rested for just four over. New Zealand need less than 50 to win now and so the Indians probably there aren't many overs left in this match. Ravindra with a four off the fourth ball of the 16th, the first ball shoots and rolls along the floor under Jurel for four byes. New Zealand are steadily getting there now.

New Zealand 62/2, need 45 to win

India vs New Zealand Live Score 1st Test Day 5: Jadeja starts off with a no ball. Young then gets back to back boundaries off the third and fourth balls. All of a sudden, a ton of pressure seems to have left the ground for New Zealand. Now in comes Bumrah for his eighth over on the trot. Rarely have we seen him bowling such a long spell.

New Zealand 52/2 in 14 overs, need 55 to win

India vs New Zealand Live Score 1st Test Day 5: Rachin Ravindra walks out and hits two fours, almost as if he is saying pressure, what pressure? He opens the face of the bat to the very first ball he faces with the crowd baying for his blood, pushes it through backward point for a four. Then he defends a short ball and then he clips the last ball through midwicket for another four.

Siraj has been taken off now, Ravindra Jadeja to bowl from the other end. This is the part of the game India would've dreaded.

New Zealand 43/2 in 13 overs

India vs New Zealand Live Score 1st Test Day 5: STOP THE PRESS! MICHAEL GOUGH HAS GOT AN LBW DECISION WRONG! Just as New Zealand got a couple of quick boundaries off the last ball of the previous over from Siraj and second of this over from Bumrah, Conway falls. Huge shout from Bumrah and India third ball, Gough shakes his head. Kohli animatedly asks Rohit to take the review and the Indian captain does it. The ball seams in and then swings away so Conway is hit on the pads despite covering the line. Utterly unplayable stuff again from Bumrah, three reds and that is that.

Conway's tortured stay ends, Bumrah threatening with every ball but how long can he bowl? This is his seventh over on the trot. On comes first innings centurion Rachin Ravindra.

New Zealand 35/2 in 12.3 overs, need 72 to win

India vs New Zealand Live Score 1st Test Day 5: How annoyed must Rohit Sharma be about the fact that India decided to go with just two pacers in this Test. Siraj and Bumrah are making the batters dance and thus far, they don't have too many replies. Good desperation in the field as well from India as they make sure NZ get just one run in the 10th and 11th overs. Maiden from Siraj in the 10th, Bumrah gets the first ball of the 11th to kick up on Conway, the batter gets off strike next ball and then Young gets beaten by the third and fourth balls. Jurel with an extraordinary take last ball, diving to his right despite being wrong footed and saving four byes.

New Zealand 22/1 in 11 overs, need 85 to win

India vs New Zealand Live Score 1st Test Day 5: It is quite uncomfortable for the NZ batters but make no mistake, they are very much the side in control here. The two Indian pacers cannot keep bowling forever and the threat could fall off signifficantly when the spinners are brought in. Virat Kohli has taken the lead as far as keeping the decibel levels up around the batter is concerned. Sarfaraz Khan also seeing having a word with Conway. India know they need as many wickets as they can take from these pace overs. Conway got a thickish outside edge off the last ball as he made an utter mess of himself trying to fend off the last ball from Bumrah. It took an outside edge and somehow went to the boundary offside.

New Zealand 17/1 in 9 overs, need 90 to win

India vs New Zealand Live Score 1st Test Day 5: First boundary of the day comes from Young who looks like he is batting on a different pitch to his partner Devon Conway. Rohit brings in Sarfaraz at silly mid-off right in front Young for Siraj's last over of the day. Siraj goes into the pads though and Young reads it like a book. Flicks it away for the first four of the day, a very comfortable delivery for him to deal with.

New Zealand 13/1 in 8 overs, need 94 to win

India vs New Zealand Live Score 1st Test Day 5: It's a theatre today at the Chinnaswamy and how could Virat Kohli not get involved. The former RCB captain waves to the crowd to amp up the decibel levels and the Bengaluru faithful obliges. Kohli also chirping at the batter. It's a cauldron out there, Young looking calm and Conway looking jittery, both batters finding it very difficult indeed to score any kind of runs. One run off the seventh over. He got the third ball to jump up at Conway from a length and hit him on his top hand. Then a half volley fifth ball but even that swings away and beats the batter.

New Zealand 9/1 in 7 overs

India vs New Zealand Live Score 1st Test Day 5: But this is also something that could hurt India. It is quite clear that New Zealand will look to see out Bumrah here. Will Young takes a single first ball of the fourth over, then huge seam movement off the second ball, it hits Conway's pads and the Indians appeal half-heartedly. The fourth jumps at Conway from a good length, then the batters run a very risky single fifth bal. Young glances the last ball past fine leg and the batters run two.

New Zealand 8/1 in 5 overs, need 102 to win

India vs New Zealand Live Score 1st Test Day 5: Well absolute scenes here at the Chinnaswamy. Celebrappeal from Siraj, huge appeals from his teammates and the crowd at the Chinnaswamy as well off the second ball of the second over from Siraj. The umpire shakes his head and India don't review. Conway pinned to the crease for the rest of the over again.

New Zealand 0/1 after 2 overs, need 107 to win

India vs New Zealand Live Score 1st Test Day 5: Oh a ripper! An absolute peach from Bumrah and Tom Latham is gone for all money. The New Zealand captain reviews, and the ultra edge shows there was no bat so what in the world did he review it for? Latham offers the bat to cover the inswinger. But this swung and seamed in. Utterly unplayable for the New Zealand captain.

Latham lbw b Bumrah 0 (6)

New Zealand 0/1, need 107 to win

India vs New Zealand Live Score 1st Test Day 5: Getting closer and closer to the start of the day now. Siraj has a light word with Tim Southee as he and the rest of the Indian walk out at the Chinnaswamy. He will have to bowl quit soon, Bumrah has two overs left in the first over of the New Zealand innings.

India vs New Zealand Live Score 1st Test Day 5: Here we go the. The Indian playere are warming up in the earnest. Play will start at 10.15am IST.

India vs New Zealand Live Score 1st Test Day 5: The Indian players are warming out there. The ground is looking nice and dry. Doesn't look like we are too far away from the start.

India vs New Zealand Live Score 1st Test Day 5: Not for the start of play. The players have walked out in their training kit for their warm-ups. There are blue skies now, it is quite bright indeed. That 10am start looks very likely now.

India vs New Zealand Live Score 1st Test Day 5: Now the way the conditions are at the moment, it is quite possible that we could have a start time of 10am. However, there is also rain forecast at around 11.30am. Certainly not something that the NZ batters will be happy about. The main cover on the square has been taken off, sparking cheers from the sparse crowd.

India vs New Zealand Live Score 1st Test Day 5: It is not drizzling at all and the covers are slowly being removed. The two umpires can be seen having a chat with the two coaches in the dressing room. For the longest time the ground staff was nowhere to be seen but now, there is a flurry of activity on the ground. The umpires will do an inspection at 9.45am.

India vs New Zealand Live Score 1st Test Day 5: Almost exactly 20 years ago, India had to defend a target of 107 against Ricky Ponting's world beating Australian. And well, they went and did it. Harbhajan Singh took five wickets while Murali Kartik took three as Australia were all out for 93 runs. The difference between then and now is the pitch though. The surface at the Wankhede Stadium was horrendous and it drew a lot of flak in the days since. That cannot be said about the pitch at the Chinnaswamy Stadium.

India vs New Zealand Live Score 1st Test Day 5: Cricket New Zealand's twitter handles has made the announcement before the BCCI did. It is still drizzling and so it is quite obvious that play won't start at 9.15am IST.

India vs New Zealand Live Score 1st Test Day 5: As stated earlier, Rishabh Pant made jaws drop on the floor everywhere by hitting a 107m monster six. It has to be stated that Pant and Rahul had navigated the second new ball quite well between them after New Zealand took it as soon as it was available in the 80th over. In fact, Pant hit that giant six off this same new ball but the one that caused India's collapse wasn't the same. The ball had been hit out of the park by Pant, way over the roof, possibly landing near a group of people having a nice day out at Cubbon Park and surprising them. This meant that the umpires had to use a replacement ball and well, those tend to have a weird effect on matches. This new second new ball seemed to move way more off the seam than the previous one. Boom and crash, India collapsed. So if you are seeing a lot of assesment of how poor the likes of Rahul/Jadeja/Ashwin (or all three) are for collapsing the way they did, do listen to them with a pinch of salt. Test cricket is a complex sport and not everything is down to a batter's deficiencies.

India vs New Zealand Live Score 1st Test Day 5: But don't get carried away by that. The former wicketkeeper also said on Jio Cinema that there is still the odd drop of rain here and there. The ground remains under covers. We can see some players out on the field, Sarfaraz Khan and Dhruv Jurel are having some light-hearted conversations with some of the officials there.

India vs New Zealand Live Score 1st Test Day 5: Play is supposed to start at 9.15am today as it had ended earlier than scheduled due to bad light and then the torrent. But, as stated earlier, it has rained throughout the night and remains quite cloudy and murky.

India vs New Zealand Live Score 1st Test Day 5: India were flying high when New Zealand had the old ball. And then, the visitors broke their backs with the new cherry and big man O'Rourke played a major role in that. The fast bowler dismissed Pant on 99 with the first ball of the 89th over. He then got KL Rahul in his next over and then Ravindra Jadeja in the one after that. All three overs were wicket-maidens as well.

India vs New Zealand Live Score 1st Test Day 5: Glenn Phillips couldn't help but let his jaw drop to the floor, KL Rahul looked at the ball and then looked back at the striker's end with a disbelieving look before cracking out a smile. Rishabh Pant was at his aggressive best yesterday and this shot probably personified that more than anything else.

India vs New Zealand Live Score 1st Test Day 5: Realistically speaking, the most likely outcomes of this match is either a draw or a win for New Zealand. So go ahead, have your say. Folks in Bengaluru might be able to give a more informed answer to this question

India vs New Zealand Live Score 1st Test Day 5: As stated earlier, it has been raining relentlessly in Bengaluru throughout the night and there is a thick cloud cover over much of the city. Still drizzling in some parts of it as well.

India vs New Zealand Live Score 1st Test Day 5: Right, even among Indian fans there may be some who would want to see some cricket being played today simply so this incredible Test match can have the dramatic conclusion it deserves. But it has been raining all night in Bengaluru and it remains quite dark and cloudy today morning.

India vs New Zealand Live Score 1st Test Day 5: Memories of a Test match all being washed off due to a stadium having no drainage facilities is quite fresh in the minds of Indian fans. It almost happened at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur during the second Test between India and Bangladesh and it did happen in Greater Noida where a Test between Afghanistan and New Zealand couldn't take place. Shortly on the heels of those sights, comes the Chinnaswamy Test, where the ground gets ready just minutes after rain has stopped because of a good drainage system underneath it.

India vs New Zealand Live Score 1st Test Day 5: By now, the story of Rachin Ravindra being named after Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid is one that has been recited countless times. Well, the first of those two names has stated publicly his admiration for the Kiwi batter. Tendulkar also took note of what Sarfaraz Khan did yesterday.

India vs New Zealand Live Score 1st Test Day 5: Jasprit Bumrah bowled the first over of the New Zealand innings for India and it was a very uncomfortable one for the batters indeed. However, the umpires decided that the light wasn't good enough after the fourth ball and this led to some animated discussions from Rohit, Virat Kohli and the rest of the Indian team with the umpires. The umpires, for their part, were having none of it and their decision was vindicated just a few minutes later. Almost as soon as the Indian players dragged their feet to the dressing room, the rain started coming down in sheets. So heavy was it that the drops could be heard in the broadcast, which is something that doesn't normally happen. The ground staff who had come on to place the covers after the umpires called the proceedings off due to bad light had to go scampering for cover themselves.

India vs New Zealand Live Score 1st Test Day 5: The best chance India have at avoiding defeat in this match is for the last day to get washed out. The forecast for the day does make it look like this chase might turn out to be a tricky one for New Zealand. The Indian met department's forecast, not long after a downpour ended play early on the fourth day, said Bengaluru will have "generally cloudy sky with one or two spells of rain or thundershowers" on Sunday, while Accuweather's forecast promised "thunderstorms in the area late Saturday night through Sunday evening".

India vs New Zealand Live Score 1st Test Day 5: India are facing an extraordinary situation where they scored 462 runs in their second innings and still are now complete underdogs in this Test. The brilliant Sarfaraz Khan and Rishabh Pant put up 177 runs for the fourth wicket off 211 balls and it looked like India might just set a target close to 250 for New Zealand. And then, came the collapse. KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin were all expected to add the necessary finishing touches but they had to deal with a brand new ball, instead of what is usually the case where they face a ball that is about 20 overs old. Rahul fell for 12, Jadeja for five and Ashwin for 15 as India were all out for 462, despite being 408/3 at one point. This means that New Zealand have a target of just 107 runs to chase.

India vs New Zealand Live Score 1st Test Day 5: Rachin Ravindra and Will O'Rourke are certainly names that have been added to the list of Kiwi players who Indian fans grudgingly love. Love because they are really good at what they do, grudgingly because they did that to India.

New Zealand XI: Tom Latham(c), Devon Conway, Will Young, Rachin Ravindra, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Blundell(w), Glenn Phillips, Matt Henry, Tim Southee, Ajaz Patel, William ORourke

India vs New Zealand Live Score 1st Test Day 5: Shubman Gill was injured and Sarfaraz Khan took his place. Sarfaraz has made the most of this opportunity, to say the least.

India: Rohit Sharma(c), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Sarfaraz Khan, Rishabh Pant(w), Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj

India vs New Zealand Live Score 1st Test Day 5: Hello and welcome everyone to our live coverage of Day 5 of the ongoing India vs New Zealand first Test. New Zealand are chasing 107 runs, and the onus will be on India's bowlers to turn the game around!
