Santner to Jaiswal. Full on off stump, Jaiswal prods forward to defend. A touch shorter from Santner, Jaiswal defends off the back foot.

Gill on strike against Santner. The Indian batter is beaten on the outside edge second ball. Next one comes with the arm and raps the pads, probably missing leg stump. NZ review. Umpire’s call on hitting and Gill survives! Gill paddles one behind square for a single. 

Big first hour for India with respect to the match and the larger context of the series. A formidable partnership between Jaiswal and Gill and help India take control of proceedings and ensure the fourth innings is a mere formality. India will hope for a sizeable lead in the first innings.
