Ravindra Jadeja equals Abdul Qadir in elite club with five-wicket haul

Ravindra Jadeja was the star with the ball but India lost control on Day 1 in the Mumbai Test on Friday, October 1. Jadeja ended with figures of 5 for 65 as New Zealand were bundled out for 235 runs, despite Daryl Mitchell's 82 and Will Young's 71. On a hot and humid day at the Wankhede stadium, Jadeja turned the game in the third one after the first 2 were evenly shared by both teams at the Wankhede stadium.

India seemed to be in control before the wickets of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Mohammed Siraj and Virat Kohli gave New Zealand some momentum heading into Day 2. New Zealand would win the toss and had no hesitation to bat first at the Wankhede stadium. They were without the services of Mitchell Santner, who was ruled out of the game due to a side strain. Tim Southee was also out of the side as the visitors brought in Matt Henry and Ish Sodhi.

The start from the openers was a cautious one, before Akash Deep provided India with an early breakthrough. The pacer was able to trap Devon Conway in front of the stumps and a review was wasted by New Zealand. Young would join his captain Tom Latham at the crease and the duo would quickly steady the innings. Young and Latham would add 44 runs before Washington Sundar entered the fray to spin some magic to give India the edge.
