On the fifth day of the World Test Championships between India and New Zealand, Kiwi captain Kane Williamson bowled out for a brilliant 49-run innings. Based on his innings, the team managed to take a decisive lead of 32 runs in the first innings against India. India bowled out for 217 in reply to New Zealand’s 249 and lead by 32 runs. During these innings, Williamson left his country’s legendary captain Stephen Fleming. For New Zealand, more runs in Test cricket than Williamson are now registered under the name of veteran Ross Taylor.

Williamson reached this record as soon as he scored his 44th run of the innings. After this innings, Williamson scored 7178 runs in 147 innings of 85 matches. At this point, Williamson should have been trolling him on social media. This is due to their slow play. Williamson played 177 balls to score 49 in this innings and gave the bowlers a lot of respect and added just seven runs to his score in the first session. He gave New Zealand the lead with a boundary off Shami, but Kohli was caught in the second slip and lost a half-century by trying to play Ishant’s outgoing ball at Thirdman.

Match moving towards the draw
The final match of the World Test Championship (WTC) was badly affected by rain and weather. It was a two-day game so far in the game that would lead to a draw. Although a reserve day has been kept for the match, despite this, there is very little hope for the outcome. In this game, even a ball cannot be bowled on the first and fourth day, so the game takes place on the reserve day of the match. In such a situation, India could invite New Zealand to bat again with a lead of 150 to 200 runs. When the match is drawn, both teams will be declared joint winners.
