After Day 4 of the World Test Championship final was washed out, Day 5 was an eventful one. India ended at 64/2, leading New Zealand by 32 runs. The Kiwis resumed at 101/2 but soon Mohammed Shami ran through their middle order with 4 wickets. Ishant Sharma too picked 3 as New Zealand were bowled out for 249, but they secured a crucial 32-run lead. India lost Shubman Gill early for 8 and later also lost a well-set Rohit Sharma for 30. Cheteshwar Pujara though dropped anchor and saw off the day. With rain expected to stay away on the reserved 6th day, all 3 results are still possible.
