Nightwatchman mohd siraj

Nightwatchman Mohd Siraj: Left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja bagged his 14th five-wicket haul and Washington Sundar claimed four wickets to bowl out New Zealand for 235 but Indian batters committed harikari, losing three wickets in 10 minutes to slump to 86/4 at the end of the first day of the third Test at the Wankhede Stadium here on Friday.

Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill had shared a half-century partnership for the second wicket, with the Mumbai opener surviving some anxious moments and scoring 30 off 52 balls, hitting four boundaries. He and Gill added 53 runs for the second wicket before Jaiswal started the 10 minutes of brain fade for the Indians, going needlessly for a reverse sweep with only three overs remaining for the day.

Jaiswal missed the reverse sweep off Ajaz Patel and the ball turned in to hit the stumps. Nightwatchman Mohd Siraj departed for a golden ball duck off Patel and India's troubles were compounded when Virat Kohli ran himself out for four, leaving the red-faced.
