Mitchell Santner, take a bow! The control with which he bowled on a dry and turning pitch here in Pune was delightful to watch. There was enough help in the pitch, and he used it to full effect with excellent variations in pace and trajectory without leaving that good length spot. He's such a good bowler in limited-overs formats, but his Test career has never really taken off. Had never even picked up a five-for before, and now he has two in a single game with a performance for the ages.
15:57 Local Time, 10:27 GMT, 15:57 IST: History in Pune as New Zealand win their first Test series in India. It's one of the biggest wins of the century against a team that had not lost at home since 2012. Not just that, India had won 18 consecutive series before this one, and were heavy favourites to win all the matches in their pursuit of a finals spot in the WTC. New Zealand, on the other hand, lost 0-2 in Sri Lanka very recently. They had a new captain in Tom Latham, and a relatively inexperienced lineup in the absence of Kane Williamson, with only Latham and Southee having over 30 Test caps. But against all odds, and against a champion team, they have pulled something quite sensational, wrapping up the series with a match to spare.
