India vs New Zealand, 1st Test - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Matt Henry to Ashwin, out Lbw!! That's a bit of a bummer to get if you're Ashwin! Pitch is starting to play its tricks now. Just short of length outside off, must have hit a crack because it kept low and nipped back in sharply, Ashwin was rooted to his crease and couldn't get the bat back in line fast enough, it beat the inside edge and hit him just above the knee-roll. Only question was height and umpire Paul Reiffel felt it was good enough. No bat on it, impact in line and it's just clipping the bails on umpire's call so Ashwin is on his way. New Zealand ensuring that this lower order doesn't cause much damage. India down to their last two wickets now. Ashwin lbw b Matt Henry 15(24) [4s-1]
