By the time of the lunch break, New Zealand were 92 for the loss of two wickets. While Devan Conway (47*) is on his way to a half-century, he is joined by Rachin Ravindra (5*) at the crease. Ashwin dismissed opener and captain Tom Latham (15) to give India their first wicket. Latham was caught in front of the wickets by a brilliant delivery. Will Young (18) tries to lead the innings with Davon. In this episode, Ashwin gave a catch to Pant in the bowling and Young got out. In the course of playing the leg-side ball, the bat took an edge and fell into Pant's hands. The Indian fielders appealed but the umpire did not give out. Sarfaraz, who is at short leg, confidently asks to take DRS. Captain Rohit went for review as Kohli also said. The Indian cricketers and fans celebrated as it was declared out in the replay. Everyone praised Sarfaraz for this.
