- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.3 Huge appeal and he's given it! Can't get plumb than that. Allen thinks about the review and has been convinced otherwise. Once again Arshdeep bowls it full and swings it in around middle. Allen is yet again late into his flick and is hit on his back leg. Umpire's call on hitting the stumps. 9/116.4 PIcks out deep midwicket to perfection! Conway has been done in by the slower one. It was full on off, Conway was early into the flick and ended up skying it straight to KIshan in the deep. 146/45.2 Straight up in the air and Arshdeep takes a well-judged catch. Length ball on middle and leg, Chapman looks to flick it across. Ends up skying the leading edge. Arshdeep moves to his right from mid-on, settles under it and takes it comfortably. Ends the explosive stand. 44/215.5 Excellent catch from Bhuvneshwar Kumar running in from fine leg, even as he saw Pant run towards him. High-paced short ball from Siraj, gets big on Phillips. He goes for the pull and top edges it. It was swirling but Kumar always had it under control. End of an explosive partnership. 130/318.1 Short balls doing the track for India. Arshdeep digs it in at 142.2 clicks. Angling in to Mitchell, who looks to pull but only gloves it down to Pant, who leaps to his left and takes that. 149/717.1 Top edge.... Pant calls it, Pant takes it with a full-fledged dive forward. Length ball angling away well outside off. Neesham reaches out for a cross-batted shot but gets a top edge. Pant keeps his eye on it and runs all the way towards point and pouches it with a dive. A potential danger nipped in the bud. 147/517.5 Fourth wicket for Siraj! He's using the short ball to full effect and reaps the reward again. Bangs it short again and takes pace off it. Santner has to force the pace but he only manages to slice it to covers. 149/618.3 Direct hit at the bowler's end, is Milne out of his ground? It is a yorker around off that Southee digs out towards backward point. Siraj gets to it quickly and nails the bull's eye at the bowler's end and Milne was well out. 149/918.2 Knocked him over! Sodhi was on the back foot expecting another short ball. But instead the clever Arshdeep spears in a yorker on middle. Sodhi is late to get his bat down and sees his stumps rattled. 149/819.4 Slower one on the stumps, it was a full toss as well. Southee goes for the heave but misses and is clean bowled.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.6 Straight up and taken! That made a good sound off the bat but he did not get it off the middle. Back of a length outside off, he fetches for it looking to hoick it over deep square leg. Does not get enough connection and Chapman at deep square leg catches it on the edge of the boundary. 13/12.4 Now, why would you play such a shot after collecting eight runs off the first two balls? Back of a length outside off, he dances down the track and gives himself room looking to flay it over the off side. Slices it instead and Sodhi, at deep third, latches on to it running to his left, low down. 21/26.3 That timing of Surya brings about his undoing! Quicker on middle and leg, Surya was looking to work it away, he somehow times it way too well and hits it straight down the throat of deep midwicket. Phillips won't miss those. That is a big, big wicket. NZ back into this one now. 60/42.5 Yes, could have channelled it a mile away and Iyer gets a first-baller! Banged in short around off, he looks to fend at it awkwardly, can only help it to the right of Neesham at slip who dives to his right and holds on. That was catching practice, I am afraid. 21/3Extras2 (w 2)TOTAL75/4 (9 Overs, RR: 8.33)Fall of wickets: 1-13 (Ishan Kishan, 1.6 ov), 2-21 (Rishabh Pant, 2.4 ov), 3-21 (Shreyas Iyer, 2.5 ov), 4-60 (Suryakumar Yadav, 6.3 ov)
