India vs New Zealand, 2nd Test - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Jadeja to Phillips, out William ORourke Run Out!! 1 run completed. Lazy fielding, and even lazier running. Bonus wicket for India as O'Rourke is run-out at the bowler's end. This is sliced off the back foot in front of sweeper cover, Washington shows no urgency and waits for the ball to come to him, and it prompts Phillips to look for a second. O'Rourke, however, takes it too easy as he ambles back as the throw comes in. His bat is on the line as Jadeja flicks it nonchalantly onto the stumps. Jadeja was actually remonstrating about the fielding effort even as the throw was on its way, and then nonchalantly deflected the ball onto the stumps. William ORourke run out (Washington Sundar/Jadeja) 0(3)

Jadeja to Phillips, no run, length ball on off, driven to long-off, doesn't take the single

Ajaz Patel c Washington Sundar b Jadeja 1(12)
