    3.2 Skied and taken! Slower ball does the trick as Rana goes full and Conway looks to loft him over mid-off. It goes high off the toe end and Hardik runs to his right from mid-off and grabs it, despite a bit of a bobble. Conway gave New Zealand a great start, but now it's on the others to capitalise 43/1
    4.2 And the second opener goes! Ishan Kishan takes a good catch after settling under a ball that shot up high into the night sky. Seifert looked for the slog across the line but slices this legbreak and his knock comes to an end too 43/2
    12.3 And that's the big wicket of the well set Rachin Ravindra! This is wily from Kuldeep, tossing it very wide. Rachin reaches out and looks to slap it away and only ends up slicing it behind to short third. Oh boy, suddenly, New Zealand look like they could be in trouble! 129/5
    8.5 Kuldeep has his revenge! Can't keep him out of the game for wrong! Slowed down and tossed up full on off and Phillips looks to swing it down the leg side and the wrong'un goes up off the outside half. Backward point settles under it and does the needful 98/3
    11.3 Dube dos the trick! It's another slower ball, full and wide, Mitchell reaches out and skies it off the toe end as he looks to go downtown. Easy pickings for Hardik Pandya at long-on 125/4
    16.5 Miscues this high in the air, and Abhishek Sharma makes no mistake. Slower ball dug into the surface and angled across him. Chapman, with the pressure building, looks to swing it leg side but slices it high and down the ground. Abhishek runs in from long-on and completes the catch 161/6

    0.5 Samson chips this straight to mid-on! Wobble seam ball seams in a bit, Samson looks to loft it down the ground and hits it off the toe end. Rachin Ravindra holds on to an easy chance and India lose their first wicket 6/1
    1.1 Oh, that's a massive wicket! It's flicked straight to the fielder and this time Conway holds on! It's full on the pads and Abhishek flicks it in the air, but straight to Conway at deep square leg! They've got the in-form Abhishek Sharma out early and India are two down 6/2
    9.1 Top edged high in the sky and it's caught at short fine leg. Kishan's belligerent batting display comes to an end. But it was so so good while it lasted. This was tossed up full outside off and Kishan had a swipe across the line and got a top edge that Henry did well to catch, running in front 128/3
