NZ reaches 36-0 after India dismissed for 217 in WTC final

SOUTHAMPTON, England  - New Zealand's openers kept India at bay under testing batting conditions after Kyle Jamieson grabbed a five-wicket haul in an exceptional display of swing bowling in the world test championship final on Sunday.

Tom Latham and Devon Conway guided the Black Caps' first innings to 36-0 off 21 overs at tea on the third day at the Rose Bowl. New Zealand still trails by 181 runs after India fell to an all-out pace attack for 217 after resuming the day on 146-3. Conway, who scored a test century on debut against England earlier this month at Lord’s, was not out on 18 runs off 56 balls. Latham, occasionally troubled by short-pitched balls from Mohammed Shami, was unbeaten on 17 off 70.
