Jasprit Bumrah dismisses Tom Latham in the first over of the final innings

Jasprit Bumrah provided the best start possible to Team India on Day 5 of the ongoing Test as he dismissed New Zealand skipper Tom Latham on the final ball of the first over. As soon as Latham was dismissed, the Bengaluru crowd erupted in a loud cheer.

Bumrah's delivery came in sharp, and Latham, who had planted his front foot, ended up fending forward, and the ball beat his inside edge quite easily.

The ball ended up hitting him on his knee roll, and the umpire Michael Gough had no difficulty in raising his finger. Latham decided to go for a review, but the Hawkeye returned with three reds.

Coming back to the ongoing Test, it has been a riveting match ever since the first ball was bowled. India were bundled out for 46 in the first innings, and New Zealand then went on to post 402 in their innings, gaining a lead of 356 runs.

Team India came back strongly in their second innings as they posted 462, owing to a fabulous 150-run knock by Sarfaraz Khan. This was the 26-year-old's first international ton.

Rishabh Pant also played a knock of 99. The left-handed dasher missed out on his 7th Test ton. Interestingly, this was also his seventh time, of being dismissed in the nervous nineties.
