All in all, it's been a superb morning, leaving the Test nicely poised. Play will resume very soon with India on 211-7.

ICC acting chief executive Geoff Allardice on TMS: "I think we compare quite favourably with other sports in terms of international team sports taking place, the world's opening up a little bit but there's going to be an element of bio-safety needed - big global events are still going to present a challenge."

And New Zealand haven't been perfect...

ICC acting chief executive Geoff Allardice on TMS: "We wanted eight Test series over two years for the Test Championship, but the calendar allowed six to be fitted in. It isn't a perfect structure, but we've got the opportunity to make improvements. We'd love to see India and Pakistan play each other in bilateral series, but it's not just [an issue[ at cricket board level, the environment isn't there at the moment for them to do so."

India had their moments...

ICC acting chief executive Geoff Allardice on TMS: "We offered an equal amount of points for each series. When Covid struck, we recognised teams weren't all going to finish their six series - for example, New Zealand didn't get the chance to play in Bangladesh - so we needed to change the points system. In the next cycle, it's going to be done on percentage of points - but there's going to be the same number of points available in each match."

With Kohli gone, New Zealabnd were able to work their way through the India middle order...

ICC acting chief executive Geoff Allardice on TMS: "Australia aren't here because they were penalised for slow over-rates against India. The review process takes a few extra minutes, we've got medical protocols when batters are hit on the head, but we've tried to see what causes delays in matches and tried to clamp down on them. England were fined a couple of matches ago - the fines are significant for some countries but don't seem to have brought about a change in behaviour."

Not at their best yesterday, New Zealand got to work this morning, starting with the biggest wicket of all...

ICC acting chief executive Geoff Allardice on TMS: "The interest levels in India, and New Zealand in particular, have been enormous leading up to this game. We're trying to promote Test cricket to a new audience, and to rejuvenate the interest in the format in countries where it may not have it, other than in England or Australia."

This match is beautifully poised isn't it?

We started today with India 146-3 following the action from yesterday...

Could the WTC final have been a three-Test series?

ICC acting chief executive Geoff Allardice on TMS: "The Test Championship needed to be fitted around a number of existing contraints, like five-Test Ashes series. In a perfect world, you'd love a series played on three different pitches over a month or so, but the calendar just doesn't allow that to happen."

Speaking of TMS, you may have heard Aggers talking about commentating in his slippers.

Here they are, in all their glory.

Don't forget, acting ICC chief executive Geoff Allardice is on TMS during the lunch break. Lots to discuss when it comes to the future of the game.

New Zealand bowled fuller and straighter, that was their session. There is still plenty of movement out there and Jamieson was very impressive first up.

That was a belting session of cricket.

That's the break. New Zealand's morning, but the match is still tantalisingly poised.

New Zealand think about a review when Trent Boult hits something of Ravi Jadeja's. Kane Williamson chews his gum as the clock ticks down. Good call. Chest, I think.

Muneer Abdullah: Someone sent me this picture claiming that this is day five in Southampton where we can see Kohli keeping and Williamson batting.
