Good bowling by @MdShami11 & @ImIshant backed by some terrific fielding by ????????.

Crucial runs were scored by Jamieson & Southee along with Williamson.

With around 130+ overs left in the game ???????? will have to bat well if they want to put ???????? under pressure.#WTC21 | #INDvsNZ pic.twitter.com/zpWGdziODL

Last 4 wickets for New Zealand adding 87 runs, for India the last 4 fell for 12 runs. Could be a crucial difference. But I am sure the Indian batsman will apply themselves nicely in the second innings.#WTC21final

NZ has forced India to play like a dominant team in the second innings if they want to win the #WTCFinal. Draw will hurt India more now.

Despite a lot of rain, if tomorrow the weather holds good, every likelihood of a result. New Zealand have batted really well to get the lead. The Indian batsman will have to be at their best as New Zealand have the bowling attack to exploit the conditions. #WTC21final

If India pulled the game their way before lunch, I'm afraid New Zealand pulled it back in the next session. They can now attack safe in the belief that there isn't enough time for India to set them a stiff target. From here it is about saving the game for India

A slender lead is hardly an advantage. But the problem is that India will have to move the game forward with the bat…if they desire an outright result in this game. Not an easy thing (scoring briskly) on this surface against this attack. #WTC2021

Big Test for the Indian batting line up coming up. Application and temperament. Remember NZ will bat last. Can the batting set this up? Intriguing session coming up. Won’t be easy but when is a World Cup final ever easy! #WTCFinal

India terrific today defending a low total. Bumrah had an off day, but Shami and Ishant were quite superb and the catching excellent. NZ have 32 run lead, important from a psychological point of view, but less than 70-80 Williamson may have liked. Tense session coming up

Personally, I don't expect a result with just one and a half days left. Mind you, these two teams are vying for the mace and WTC. Result will require either an extraordinary or a diabolical performance. #WTC21 #INDvsNZ
