By virtue of the win over New Zealand, defending champions Australia, who are already through to the semi-finals, have consolidated their position at the top with 14 points from eight games.

Trent Boult said that he enjoys bowling to the likes of the AB de Villiers, Chris Gayles and Virat Kohli.

Trent Boult believes in fighting fire with fire and there will be no holding back when he gears up to bowl to undoubtedly the best batsman in world cricket at the moment on June 13 in Trent Bridge - Virat Kohli.

Trent Boult was the wrecker-in-chief, returning impressive figures of 4/33 to bowl out India for 179 in under 40 overs at the Kennington Oval.

New Zealand ended day three of the second Test on 38/2, trailing Bangladesh (211) by 173 runs.

Trent Boult picked up his ninth Test five-wicket haul and bowled out Bangladesh for 429, way short of New Zealand’s 715 for six declared in the first innings. 

New Zealand has risen to No. 2 in world rankings, recently leap-frogging South Africa and it hoped to show itself deserving of that ranking in only its third Test at home this summer.

The first day likely will still be remembered more for Tamim's masterful batting than for Wagner's pugnacious bowling, though it ensured New Zealand ended the day in a commanding position.

In addition, one demerit point each has been added to the disciplinary records of both players, for whom it was their first offence since the introduction of the revised Code in September 2016.

The skipper said the poor shot selection was the cause behind India's terrible showing on Thursday.

Only four Indian batsmen - Dhawan (13), Pandya (16), Kuldeep (15) and Chahal (18 not out) - posted double-digit scores.
