Day three of the World Test Championship final between India and New Zealand belonged to Kyle Jamieson. The Kiwi all-rounder scalped a five-wicket haul to limit India to a modest first-innings score of 217, breaking a few records on the way to a second fifer against India in Tests. One of his valued wickets was captain Virat Kohli and Kyle Jamieson shared his experience on the dismissal.&nbsp;

Jamieson was happy to dismiss Virat Kohli during the World Test Championship Final in Southampton. The New Zealand pacer was satisfied to send the Indian skipper back to the pavilion at the beginning of Day 3.&nbsp;

Addressing the media after the game, Kyle Jamieson said: “I think he’s a world-class batter, and those guys don’t tend to have too many chinks in their armors. Certainly, pleasing to get him. Like I said before, he’s obviously a massive part of their line-up, and to get him early certainly set things up nicely for us. Just was pleasing in terms of myself being able to wobble the ball and try and keep him in check a little bit, and to get that wicket was pleasing and just a great start for our game."

The 26-year-old talked about the essential change in the system, as Jamieson received rich benefits for the ideal change.

“It is certainly not my natural length. Naturally, as a taller guy, you are going to be back of a length. While I felt good at times yesterday, I also felt a little bit tentative. My body probably sort of brought my lengths back. Today I felt a lot freer and was able to bring that length fuller. Tried to change my strategy a little bit in terms of trying to get it fuller and getting it to wobble a little bit. That paid off” - he added.&nbsp;

Jamieson was feeling bullish after Day 3, asserting the save day could make things fascinating. The tall pacer glanced back at the game, conceding New Zealand is in an agreeable position going ahead.&nbsp;

“Yeah, I haven’t seen the forecast a huge amount. Obviously, we’ve got a little bit of time up our sleeve with the sixth day. Be interesting to see, I guess, how that plays out. I guess where we’re sitting now it would be pretty comfortable. I think if you said to us at the start of the game that we can get them for low 200s and then to be 100 for two, we’d be pretty happy. We’ll have to see how the next day or so pans out but we’re certainly in a position that we’d like to be in terms of moving the game forward” - he said.

Tom Latham and Devon Conway arranged the precarious beginning stage of the innings with some gutsy batting as the two openers got their heads down and saw off the test.&nbsp;

“From my short time in the team, some of the best batting I've seen. I think the way Tom and Dev approached that, the ball was going to move around, we knew that, and the conditions were probably going to be in the bowlers' favor. The way they approached that pretty tricky period was outstanding” - he said.&nbsp;

With eight wickets close by, New Zealand trail India by 116 runs. Looking forward, Kyle Jamieson wouldn't put a number on a sound lead, repeating the New Zealand bowlers would be content with whatever they were given.&nbsp;

“Well, it’s probably a little bit early to say what sort of lead. I think you’re always hoping for more of a lead or as much of a lead as you can get. I think obviously the key moving forward is to try and build on that, and if we can get ahead, great. If we can get 50, 100, 150, great. I think as a bowling unit we’ll take whatever we can get really” - he signed off.

WTC Final: Pleased to dismiss Virat Kohli, he's world-class batsman, says Kyle Jamieson

Kyle Jamieson said his team is satisfied to keep things yet to be determined after India came to 146 for three on day two of the World Test Championship final on Saturday.&nbsp;

Indian openers Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill showed striking application against the moving ball to share a 62-run stand.

Notwithstanding, New Zealand had the option to take three wickets before terrible light carried an untimely finish to day two. The first day of the season was cleaned out.

During a post-match press conference after the end of day 2, Kyle Jamieson said:&nbsp;"It was a good day for Test cricket, the disruption probably didn't help the momentum that we had at that point of time. It was crucial to try to get balls in reasonable areas for long periods, how we did that throughout the day after they started off well was pretty pleasing, to keep things in the balance."

"There is a reason why they are one of the top teams in the world for a long period of time. For us, it was about putting the ball in the right areas and I think we were able to do that for the most part and take that confidence tomorrow" - he added.

Indian batting mentor Vikram Rathour said that a first innings score of 250 or more will place India in a battling position. After some information about his assessment, Kyle Jamieson said: "We certainly haven't spoken around a number, I think there is an opportunity to score runs as a batting unit and there is still some help with the ball moving around and seaming. The Indian batsmen have shown if you are patient, there are still runs to be had. So whether 250 is a good score, only time will tell."

Kyle Jamieson said his team was able to keep the ball in testing regions for an extensive stretch.

"You look at their lineup, you are expecting those guys to do well, they have good records and they have done special things around the world. They have put away slightly bad ball, they were able to score freely," he said.

"They certainly played well in first hours. We tried to wobble the ball a bit and keep guys engaged. It is part of our arsenal, there were no set plans how we want to operate after that first hour."&nbsp;

Kyle Jamieson was glad to see Shubman Gill not getting genuinely hurt by the bouncer bowled to him during the World Test Championship Final.&nbsp;

In the 17th over, Kyle Jamieson bowled a short delivery to Shubman Gill that smacked flush on the helmet. The physios and substitutes of the Indian cricket crew promptly raced to the middle to beware of Shubman Gill. Fortunately, the 21-year-old appeared all good, and he kept on batting in the middle.&nbsp;

"No, we didn't really talk about it too much. Obviously, I'm glad that he's okay and he continued on. It was not nice seeing someone get hurt and have the physios run on, so it was obviously good to see that he was okay and he was able to continue on."

With the New Zealand pacers' bowling pair, the Indian opening couple of Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill attempted to descend the track at times.&nbsp;

"It was an interesting one, it is not something we probably expected a huge amount. My take was that, if they were walking then they were not comfortable where I was bowling in the crease, so I tried to take that as a positive. The more they felt that they had to move around to throw us off, we could just hang in there and it sort of can get dividends" - he concluded.

Trent Boult is likely to&nbsp;feature in the second England versus New Zealand Test that starts at Edgbaston on Thursday. Gary Stead (New Zealand coach) yielded that the adjustment of quarantine guidelines&nbsp;has incited the administration to think about Trent Boult's inclusion.&nbsp;

New Zealand have gotten a jolt in front of the second Test in Edgbaston as Trent Boult, who missed the primary Test after selecting to enjoy a little reprieve, is in line to include in the subsequent Test, beginning June 10. Trent Boult showed up in England mid-way through the first Test and was required to spend a small bunch of days in isolate however the UK Government's refreshed isolate conventions imply that the left-arm bowler will presently be accessible for choice for the subsequent Test.&nbsp;

Cricket: Tim Southee lauds Kyle Jamieson for declining Virat Kohli's invitation to bowl with Dukes ball in nets

Royal Challengers Bangalore's Kyle Jamieson is having a good run&nbsp;in the ongoing IPL season as the Kiwi scalped six wickets in six matches played thus far. The lanky speedster feels that pressure situations during IPL games will help him in the upcoming T20 World Cup that is scheduled to be hosted in India later this year.&nbsp;

"Absolutely, any experience you can have in this part of the world before the World Cup is valuable. I am not getting carried away, you still have to earn the right to be selected in the T20 World Cup squad. I am trying to soak up as much as I can, I am trying to learn. In the first five-six games we have played, there have been fresh learnings each time. You gain bits and pieces each time you play, being exposed to pressure situations always helps you," said Jamieson during a virtual post-match news conference.

Royal Challengers won a thriller against Delhi Capitals as Virat and Co. regained the top spot after a one-run win.&nbsp;

"It has been good, it has been an eye-opener. I have loved every second of it, pretty fortunate to have an experienced dressing room and yeah, long may that continue. Maybe not one run, but that's sort of T20 cricket, you cannot take it for granted. The run-rate was never at that stage where it was out of reach against the caliber of Pant and Shimron Hetmyer.

Kyle Jamieson talks about 'valuable' IPL 2021 experience and how it can help for T20 World Cup

In the world of cricket, umpire's soft-signal call has stirred up a couple of controversies lately. While the debate started during the fourth T20I between India and England when a catch by Dawid Malan to dismiss Suryakumar Yadav&nbsp;caught the eyes of fans and pundits, the soft-signal controversy&nbsp;was again up for debates during the second ODI between Bangladesh and New Zealand after a close catch by bowler Kyle Jamieson.&nbsp;

Jamieson bowled a fuller delivery to Bangladesh batsman Tamim Iqbal who fired the shot straight back to the Kiwi pacer.&nbsp;It looked like Jamieson&nbsp;had taken a clean catch just inches off the ground.&nbsp;While the on-field umpire Chris Brown gave the soft-signal as out, the decision was referred to the third umpire in a bid to have a closer look at it.

The third-umpire Wayne Knights&nbsp;went on to check multiple angles and replays suggested that Jamieson wasn't in complete control of the ball as it touched the pitch before the Kiwi pacer tumbled to the ground.&nbsp;

The third-umpire reversed the decision with Jamieson looking upset with the decision. Even his New Zealand team-mates looked visibly upset with the call.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Former India opener Gautam Gambhir has said that there is one such youngster, who possesses the all-round skills of Andre Russell and could be a hot property in these auctions. According to Gambhir, New Zealand's Kyle Jamieson will have plenty of takers for the upcoming auctions.&nbsp;

"Kyle Jamieson is not a big name at the moment, but he will turn out to be a superstar. This is probably the right auction for all franchisees to get a hold of him. And because he is someone whom you can keep for a longer period of time. He is seven feet… he is that tall. He can bowl 140 and can hit the ball long. He probably could be the next Andre Russell in the making," Gambhir said on Star Sports.

"Yes, he's not a finished product and everyone knows about it but is someone who is probably young and you can have that core built around him. A franchise like Kings XI (Punjab Kings) who are looking for that allrounder or some other franchise, they can think of someone like Jamieson."

"Even Sunrisers, because he is someone who can bowl with the new ball, and can bat at No. 6 and 7 and can hit the long ball against spin and fast bowling. He's a great asset and he's going to get better from here," added Gambhir.

"It's not as if he's reached his peak. There are players like Russell and Morris, who have already reached their peak. They can't get better than this. But with Jamieson, there will always be this thing where he'll keep improving. This is his first experience in India, he'll only start getting better from here on.

And because he is someone whom you can keep for a longer period of time. He is seven&nbsp;feet,&nbsp;he is that tall. He can bowl 140 and can hit the ball long. He probably could be the next Andre Russell in the making," Gambhir said on Star Sports.&nbsp;

"Yes, he's not a finished product and everyone knows about it but is someone who is probably young and you can have that core built around him. A franchise like Kings XI (Punjab Kings) who are looking for that all-rounder or some other franchise, they can think of someone like Jamieson.&nbsp;

"Even Sunrisers, because he is someone who can bowl with the new ball, and can bat at No. 6 and 7 and can hit the long ball against spin and fast bowling. He's a great asset and he's going to get better from here,” the former Indian batsman added.&nbsp;

Jamieson had registered himself at a base price of INR 75 lakh for the IPL 2021 auction and is expected to trigger a bidding war among the franchise. Gambhir, who said Jamieson is not yet a finished product, tipped the Kiwi star&nbsp;to be the one for the future.&nbsp;

"It's not as if he's reached his peak. There are players like Russell and Morris, who have already reached their peak. They can't get better than this. But with Jamieson, there will always be this thing where he'll keep improving. This is his first experience in India, he'll only start getting better from here on.&nbsp;So&nbsp;it will be a great addition if someone can pick him and keep him for a long time," the former KKR captain added.&nbsp;

Ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 auction, former Kolkata Knight Riders captain Gautam Gambhir has tipped franchises to sign the "next Andre Russell" as the southpaw made predictions about which players can become big-money signing in the IPL 2021 auction. Gambhir has named New Zealand all-rounder Kyle Jamieson as the "next Andre Russell" while terming him as a future asset around whom a franchise can build their core for the future.

IPL 2021 Auction: Gautam Gambhir tips franchise to sign 'next Andre Russell'

Towering paceman Kyle Jamieson completed an 11-wicket match haul Wednesday as New Zealand thrashed Pakistan in the second Test to become the world's top-ranked team.&nbsp;

Jamieson was near unplayable in Pakistan's second innings, finishing with six for 48 after his five for 69 in the first innings, to give New Zealand victory by an innings and 176 runs.

The win inside four days in Christchurch, which completed a 2-0 series sweep, also confirmed New Zealand had overtaken Australia to be the world's number one Test side for the first time.

"It's hard to beat really," said victorious captain Kane Williamson, whose double century set up the win.

New Zealand batted Pakistan out of contention with a first innings 659 for six, with Williamson's masterful 238 supported by Henry Nicholls (157) and Daryl Mitchell (102 not out).

But there was still a chance Pakistan could force a draw until Jamieson took the ball.

"The most impressive thing is his attitude, his ability to run in and hit the wicket hard for long spells," Williamson said.

In his sixth Test after making his debut against India 10 months ago, Jamieson has taken 36 wickets at&nbsp;a stunning 13.27 average and with four five-wicket hauls to his credit. But he said he's far from being the finished product.

"I'm a long way off the cricketer that I want to be," he said after his man-of-the match performance.

"I'm 12 months into my international career and it's a long process and hopefully I've got another nine-10 years in this group and if that happens I've got more to come."

Pakistan captain Mohammed Rizwan was disappointed with his side's fielding and multiple dropped catches. But he said their biggest problem was Jamieson.

"He's the only difference between both teams. The conditions were fair to bowlers but the way he bowled he took too many wickets in the series," Rizwan said.

"We need to improve in all departments, especially in fielding. If you drop catches you can't win a Test match."

<h2>- Extra bounce -</h2>

Pakistan resumed the day at eight for one, needing to bat for the better part of two days to salvage a draw, but they were never in the hunt.

Trent Boult had nightwatchman Mohammad Abbas out for three in the fifth over and after that the day was mainly about Jamieson, who recorded his best match performance.

Although he is the junior member of a pace attack headed by higher-ranked veterans Tim Southee and Boult, the 26-year-old has rapidly advanced to playing a senior role.&nbsp;

After Abbas departed, Abid Ali and Azhar Ali looked to be laying the groundwork for a solid third-wicket stand and moved the score to 46 when the 2.3 metre (6ft 8in) Jamieson removed Abid for 26.

After using his height to create extra bounce and force Abid on to the back foot, Jamieson whipped up a fuller delivery and the batsman's attempt to switch to a drive was sliced to backward point where substitute Will Young took a one-handed, diving catch.

In a potent middle session, Jamieson had Haris Sohail and Azhar caught behind, and bowled Rizwan as he moved through his repertoire.&nbsp;

Sohail did not get his feet moving as he poked at a rising delivery on 15 and was caught behind.

Azhar attempted to take the fight back to Jamieson, moving into a short delivery and pulling it through mid-on for four as he advanced to 37.&nbsp;

But Azhar did not add another run as Jamieson responded with a ball that reared up towards the ribs and it was gloved to the wicketkeeper.&nbsp;

Rizwan was bowled for 10 by a full inswinger that zipped between bat and pad.&nbsp;

Boult completed the four-wicket session when he dismissed Fawad Alam for 16 and Pakistan were 134 for seven at tea.

Jamieson, Boult and Williamson shared the final three wickets.

Jamieson's first 11 humbles Pakistan as New Zealand hit number one

Paceman Kyle Jamieson took five for 69 as New Zealand overcame some stiff Pakistan resistance to dismiss the tourists for 297 at close of play on the opening day of the second and final test at Christchurch on Sunday. 
 
Already 1-0 up in the series and needing only a draw to rise to the top of the world rankings for the first time, the Black Caps won the toss and elected to field on what looked like a Hagley Oval track tailor-made for their attack. 
 
Pakistan had shown great fight at the end of their 101-run defeat in the first test, however, and started out as they had finished at Mount Maunganui with some batting of real intent on a day largely uninterrupted by the Christchurch rain. 
 
Azhar Ali led the way with a superb innings of 93 but there were also cameos from Mohammad Rizwan, who was again forced to stand-in as captain for the injured Babar Azam and scored 61, as well as Faheem Ashraf, who hit 48. 
 
Left-arm spinner Zafar Gohar extended the tail with a 62-ball 34 in his first test innings until he top edged a short delivery from Tim Southee just after New Zealand took the second new ball. 
 
The hosts rattled off the last two wickets in short order to bring up stumps, giving New Zealand`s openers the night to rest up before going out again to bat. 
 
Given the swing and seam in the pitch, New Zealand`s attack would have hoped to have got the job done more quickly and it looked like they would when Jamieson ripped through the Pakistan top order to reduce the tourists to 88-4 at lunch. 
 
Bowling with real venom and bounce, the 26-year-old sent back opener Abid Ali, Haris Sohail and Fawad Alam in three overs, the latter with an unplayable delivery that the batsman could only fend away from his helmet with his glove. 
 
Azhar Ali and Rizwan stalled the New Zealand attack with a partnership of 88 for the fifth wicket during which the stand-in skipper secured his fifth consecutive half century before edging a Jamieson delivery behind. 
 
Seamer Matt Henry, brought in to replace the injured Neil Wagner, finally winkled out Azhar Ali in the final session before Faheem Ashraf departed to give Jamieson his third five-wicket haul in six tests.

According to Neil Wagner: "Yeah, that's always good selection dilemmas to have, Neil Wagner will come back and he's been a force in our team for a long time, and Kyle Jamieson made the most of his debut, and the way he played, I thought, was outstanding as well, did a really good job for us."

Gary Stead was asked if Jamieson will continue and Wagner gets more time with his new-born baby.&nbsp;

Stead replied: "You always think about those things, but I think Neil Wagner, it was pretty hard missing one Test let alone two Tests, so no, he'll be back with us without a doubt."

India is set to face New Zealand in the second and final Test match at Hagley Oval. Hagley Oval is traditionally favoured by pace bowlers so Wagner's bowling could trouble the Indian batsmen.&nbsp;

India will be eyeing a win in the do or die fixture to draw the series.&nbsp;
