Just one minute into play on Day 5 of the first Test between India and New Zealand, Jasprit Bumrah delivered a crucial blow, dismissing New Zealand captain Tom Latham for 0 (6). Latham was trapped lbw by Bumrah’s delivery, and the umpire raised his finger almost instantly. The crowd at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium erupted as India drew first blood in New Zealand’s chase of 107 runs.

With Latham gone early, India has gained some momentum as they look to defend the modest target. The pressure is now on New Zealand’s remaining batters as the game continues.
