Ultimately, New Zealand’s third wicket fell at 178 runs, in which Ravindra became Shami’s second victim after scoring 75 runs.
In partnership with Latham, Mitchell was successful in taking New Zealand’s total score beyond 200 runs. However, Latham was out to Kuldeep after contributing just five runs, but Mitchell stood firm. He completed his century with 100 balls, showing impressive resilience. Wickets kept falling at the other end. Kuldeep sent Phillips back to the pavilion on a personal score of 23 runs and Chapman became the victim of Bumrah after scoring eight runs.
