Shami to Mitchell, out Caught by Rohit!! Gone this time! Shami has the last laugh and Mitchell departs after making a crucial 63. It looked like he was tiring. Slower delivery full and wide outside off, Mitchell looks to shovel it up and over extra cover, doesn't quite get hold of it and ends up spooning it to Rohit who's stationed there. He takes a couple of steps back and takes it easily over his head. A great innings given the situation, now can New Zealand add the finishing touches? Mitchell c Rohit b Shami 63(101) [4s-3]
