NZ 79 /1 in 35 Overs | (Target 284 Runs) | India vs New Zealand Live Score Updates 1st Test 2021 Day 5: New Zealand Need 205 Runs to Win

So it's lunch and the Kiwis have batted quite well in the first session of Day 5. No wickets have fallen and certainly, the team enjoys an upper hand. But India continues to hunt for wickets at this juncture. NZ needs 205 runs to win. 

Eight runs scored in the last over. The Indian team would look out for wickets before heading for Lunch. Both openers have batted fairly well in the first session of day 5. 

Nine runs were scored in the last nine overs and it wouldn't be wrong to say that the Kiwi batsmen have slowed down a bit. As of now, India's hunt for a wicket continues. 

The Indian batsmen are looking to get wickets at the juncture. The team is trying all combinations for getting their first wicket for the morning but so far have been unsuccessful. For now, Tom Latham & William Somerville have given a steady start to the team. 

Tom Latham and William Somerville are looking to build up for the innings and are leaving no stone unturned to reach the target of 284 runs. New Zealand needs 245 runs. 

What India needs currently is wickets and the team is surely struggling to do so. On the other hand, New Zealand has been building up their innings slowly and steadily. 

So Wriddhiman Saha is out due to a stiff neck after he kept wickets in the second innings. On Day 5, we have KS Bharat keeping wickets for India.

???? Update ????: Wriddhiman Saha felt stiffness in his neck while keeping in the second innings. It was affecting his movement while wicket-keeping. KS Bharat will keep wickets in his absence on Day 5.#TeamIndia #INDvNZ @Paytm pic.twitter.com/h3BfWYGnft— BCCI (@BCCI) November 29, 2021

Looks like Ishant Sharma has dislocated his finger while trying to make a stop. The physios were having a look at the finger. He's walked off for further treatment.
