Talking about Shami’s performance, the pacer picked two crucial wickets of Ross Taylor and BJ Watling to bring team India back to the game. The New Zealand cricket team is 135 for 5 at lunch and the Kiwi skipper Kane Williamson is on 19* and he holds the key for NZ from here on.
Meanwhile, Shami would be keen to continue with his form in the upcoming tour of England, where India and England will face each other in a five-match Test series.
