New Zealand require just 120 runs to beat India in Southampton

New Zealand require just another 120 runs to seal a dramatic World Test Championship final victory against India after bowling Virat Kohli's men out for 170 before tea.

The match at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton has been spoiled by rain but Kane Williamson's men are now heavy favourites to seal victory on what is the designated reserve day.

Neil Wagner removed Ravindra Jadeja as the first wicket after lunch before Rishabh Pant's entertaining 41 was brought to an end after he charged Trent Boult and was superbly caught by Henry Nicholls.
