India v New Zealand Test Series 2012 – 1st Test
India v New Zealand
Thu 23 Aug 2012, 05:00am BST, 09:30am local
India win by an innings and 115 runs
| India | 438 (134.3 ovs) |
|---|---|
| New Zealand | 159 (61.3 ovs) & 164 (79.5 ovs) |
Over 80. no runs. Bowler: Ravichandran Ashwin. New Zealand: 164/10(rr 2.05)
OUT! L.B.W. Ashwin to Martin. Carrom length ball, middle stump no foot movement pushing, hit pad to silly point. Martin had no idea which way this delivery was turning and he was trapped low down on the front pad in front of middle. Ashwin finishes with phenomenal bowling figures of 12 for 85 for the match and he now holds the record for Indias best bowling figures in a Test. New Zealand crumbled after McCullum lost his wicket to a poor decision from the umpire. Never the less, India took advantage of the situation and wrapped things up quickly with some superb bowling. The Black Caps were spinned out of the match and they never looked like reviving the innings as India never took their foot off the peddle. The visitors have a lot to work on and they have no choice but to raise their game for the next match in the series. India on the other hand will be delighted with this comprehensive victory and their confidence will be high leading up to the next encounter.
Ashwin to Martin. Off break length ball, outside off stump on the front foot defending, missed to wicketkeeper for no runs, fielded by Dhoni.

OUT! Caught. Ashwin to Boult. Carrom length ball, outside off stump on the front foot defending, outside edge to slips, fielded by Sehwag. Boult failed to pick the carrom ball and yet another edge finds its way into the safe hands of Sehwag at slip. It is all but over now as Chris Martin makes his way to the crease.
Ashwin to Boult. Off break length ball, outside off stump on the front foot defending, to mid wicket for no runs, fielded by Raina.
Over 79. 4 runs. Bowler: Pragyan Ojha. New Zealand: 164/8(rr 2.08)

OUT! L.B.W. Ashwin to van Wyk. Carrom length ball, middle stump on the front foot reverse sweeping, hit body to silly mid off.

Ashwin has ten scalps in the match!

APPEAL! Ojha to Bracewell. Stock length ball, middle stump on the front foot defending, hit pad to short leg for no runs, appeal made for L.B.W. India were just clearing their throats before the tea break! The home side have just completed a very successful session and they now have an even greater hold on this game. Ashwin is in the wicket column three times and he will hope to pick up a few more after the break. The Black Caps are going to have to pull off something very special to save this match. If the rain stays away, we will return to the cricket in about 15 minutes.
