- BATSMENRB4s6sSR11.3 leading edge and taken at cover! It was back of a length and angling in again, Rahul, who wanted to work it leg side, turned the face of the bat a bit early and it just lobbed up to Mitchell Santner for the simplest chance 96/21.3 overpitched and wide outside off, asks to be put away to the fence. Instead, Samson drills a drive away from the body and offers Mitch Santner some catching practice at short cover. Samson throws away another opportunity, Kuggeleijn won't mind that one bit 8/116.4 length around off, out comes an uncharacteristic reverse sweep, can't beat point and looks like that's the end of Rohit's stint in the middle. He is hobbling off the park, having decided that he can't run 138/218.5 length and angled across, Dube tries to slog it across the line but has to fetch it, gets height but no power to be taken comfortably at long-on 148/3Extras7 (lb 1, w 6)TOTAL163/3 (20 Overs, RR: 8.15)Fall of wickets: 1-8 (Sanju Samson, 1.3 ov), 2-96 (KL Rahul, 11.3 ov), 2-138* (Rohit Sharma, retired not out ), 3-148 (Shivam Dube, 18.5 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.3 is height an issue? but umpire Haig raises his finger. Guptill chats to Munro and decides against a review. He walks off for 2. Back of a length, angling in from outside off, skids off the pitch to cramp Guptill for room and ping him on the back pad in line with the stumps. The tracker might have returned umpire's call on height. Okay, the tracker shows it might have bounced over. Guptill is gone, though 7/12.3 Washington comes from over the wicket, cramps the batsman, and rattles the stumps. Much flatter and quicker, skids off the pitch, Munro swings and misses. Washington hits the stumps and celebrates 17/212.4 Saini strikes, and is there life in the game yet? Hard length, angled in, tucks him up as he looks to go for the pull and splices it to midwicket. Brilliant innings under pressure but India might think they have an opening, such has been their stranglehold over this series 116/43.2 there's a mix-up between the wickets and India take advantage of it. Seifert slaps it to cover-point and is very eager to get across to the other end, he's just ball-watching. Bruce, though, isn't as eager. As a result, there's some hesitation, and Samson swoops down on the ball and throws it to the striker's end. India's stand-in captain Rahul rushes in from behind the stumps, dives forward, collects the throw calmly and disturbs the stumps to send back Bruce 17/317.1 Taylor goes and it looks like New Zealand have bottled another seemingly easy run-chase! Saini bowls this full and wide, Taylor chases it but only manages an outside edge to Rahul 133/813.6 inch perfect yorker cleans him up to finish an excellent over! Quick one, tailing in, slips under the bat before it's brought down, vintage Bumrah 119/516.3 holes out to long-on! Santner never got enough of it, it was another knuckle ball angled across, he went down-town but mistimed it, pressure mounts on Taylor, who will now be on strike 131/616.5 similar script unfolding here in Mount Maunganui, with New Zealand losing their way from a seemingly comfortable position! Short, quick one, Kuggeleijn pulls but is hurried for pace, gets it high on the bat and straight down deep square-leg's throat. Taylor's left stranded with the tail, with plenty to do and a Bumrah over left. Great over from Thakur 132/718.2 knocks him over with another inch-perfect yorker! Bumrah has been at his absolute best today, on this occasion targets the base of leg stump with Southee backing away and hits bull's eye! 141/9Extras5 (lb 1, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL156/9 (20 Overs, RR: 7.8)Fall of wickets: 1-7 (Martin Guptill, 1.3 ov), 2-17 (Colin Munro, 2.3 ov), 3-17 (Tom Bruce, 3.2 ov), 4-116 (Tim Seifert, 12.4 ov), 5-119 (Daryl Mitchell, 13.6 ov), 6-131 (Mitchell Santner, 16.3 ov), 7-132 (Scott Kuggeleijn, 16.5 ov), 8-133 (Ross Taylor, 17.1 ov), 9-141 (Tim Southee, 18.2 ov)
