It was a polar opposite day for the two teams competing in the World Test Championship (WTC) final at the Hampshire Bowl in Southampton. While New Zealand were on top after the end of Day 3 bowling well and batting exceptionally on that track, India were slightly poor in both departments.

While New Zealand pacers found the movement in the air and got the ball to move off the surface, it didn't happen so for the Indian pace trio of Ishant Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami. Ishant did got some deliveries to do something off the surface, however, it wasn't to be for the other two. While Shami, who looked the most lethal of the lot, depended more on seam movement rather than swing.

Reacting to the lack of swing, former Indian batsman Virender Sehwag took to Twitter and had a hilarious take on the same. Sehwag wrote, "Mood swing ho gaya, ball nahi huyi. (The mood did swing but not the ball) #WTCFinal21”

Earlier in the day, when Kyle Jamieson and co couldn't just stop getting swing, Sehwag's former teammate and Cricket Twitter's meme king, Wasim Jaffer reacted with a hilarious meme saying what to do, the swing isn't ending only.

New Zealand pace attack was on fire in the morning session on Day 3 as they bowled out India for just 217 as they could muster only 71 runs for the loss of 7 wickets after resuming their innings on 146/3.
