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
