India Vs New Zealand Live Score, 3rd Test Day 1: Washington Sundar Sends Back Tom Latham

Washington Sundar is having a dream run with the ball and it has continued in Mumbai. The offie's ball draws Latham forward with the latter pushing for a defensive shot, only to see his stumps being dislodged. Rohit is pumped in the slips as India rejoice a key dismissal.

NZ - 59/2

India Vs New Zealand Live Score, 3rd Test Day 1: Spin On Offer But No Luck Going IND's Way

Ravichandran Ashwin and Washington Sundar are getting assistance from the Wankhede track but it seems the luck isn't on India's side at the moment. Rohit Sharma will be a frustrated man as the hosts look to snare wickets ahead of lunch.

NZ - 51/1

India Vs New Zealand Live Score, 3rd Test Day 1: 10 Overs In

Ten overs into the match and we already have seen the Wankhede track assist spin, that too on the first day. Ravichandran Ashwin's ball turned sharply, as Will Young and Tom Latham watched that with amazement. Exciting day's play coming up.

NZ - 37/1

India Vs New Zealand Live Score, 3rd Test Day 1: Wankhede Pitch Report

If you look at this pitch, there's a little bit of moisture in it and hence the dark brownish colour. As you look at the other pitches in the square, you can see the difference in colour, it's slightly orangish. That's how this pitch will eventually become. It's about understanding what happens when moisture is there. There'll be a little bit of turn at the start and as the day progresses, it might get slightly better to bat on. But towards the end of the day's play and definitely tomorrow and as the game progresses, there'll be a lot more turn. If the team winning the toss, doesn't bat first, I'd be very surprised. In the last five Test matches, 84% of the wickets have been picked up by the spinners. There'll be a little bit of help for the fast bowlers as it always is in Mumbai. There is something in it for everybody. As the game progresses, it'll tilt towards the spinners. Days one and two will be better to bat on. As the game progresses, it's going to be hard work for the batters.

India Vs New Zealand Live Score, 3rd Test Day 1: IND Have Their First Wicket

Akash Deep rewards Rohit Sharma, India with a huge wicket of Devon Conway as the Kiwi batter was trapped LBW. The on-field umpire raises his finger but Conway reviewed the decision. Unfortunately for him and the visiting team, the review went against him and India rejoice.

NZ - 15/1

India Vs New Zealand Live Score, 3rd Test Day 1: Jasprit Bumrah Will Be A BIG Miss

Akash Deep is still new to cricket whereas Mohammed Siraj's poor form hasn't helped and that's why the third Test day 1 session will be a testing one for Rohit Sharma. Kiwis have started off well and with the conditions still good for batting, IND have a great task up their sleeves in Mumbai.

NZ - 7/0

India Vs New Zealand Live Score, 3rd Test Day 1: Match Underway

No Boom, Boom Bumrah at his 'home turf' Wankhede. Mohammed Siraj has a huge task of leading the IND pace attack. He has not been in the greatest of form with the ball of late.

NZ - 1/0

India Vs New Zealand Live Score, 3rd Test Day 1: Playing XIs And Captain Speak

Rohit Sharma: We understand that we haven't played well in this series. Looks like a good pitch. Hopefully we can restrict them as quickly as possible. Our focus is on this Test match. Bumrah is not well, Siraj comes in for him.

Tom Latham: We are gonna have a bat. Looks a good surface, hopefully put a good total on the board. What we did in Bangalore was great, we had to switch quickly to Pune and nothing changes. A new opportunity this game. It's about adapting to the surface as quickly as possible. Santner has got a side strain. Ish Sodhi comes in. Henry is back for Southee.

India (Playing XI): Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma(c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant(w), Sarfaraz Khan, Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Ravichandran Ashwin, Akash Deep, Mohammed Siraj

New Zealand (Playing XI): Tom Latham(c), Devon Conway, Will Young, Rachin Ravindra, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Blundell(w), Glenn Phillips, Ish Sodhi, Matt Henry, Ajaz Patel, William O'Rourke
