IND vs NZ Live Cricket Score

1.2 OUT! The ball is clipping the top of the stumps! Rohit Sharma is a gonner but he does not take the review with him, fortunately for India. A length ball on middle and swinging inward this time, instead of straightening. Rohit after missing the first ball on the outside, feels this one will do the same and plays down the wrong line. He misses the ball and gets rapped on the back pad, after being grazed on the front pad first. The bowler appeals and the umpire takes his time but the finger eventually comes up. There is a discussion between Rohit and Dhawan post which the former takes the review but that does not save him. Not the start that he or India would have wanted but just what the Kiwis would have liked! 3/1

3.1 OUT! There is an inside edge. Excellent review. India have lost their second. Good decision to take the review. Length ball hitting on off and it comes in beautifully. Dhawan looks to defend it but it goes between his bat and pad to the right of the keeper. Tom Blundell moves to his right and takes the catch. There was a sound as it goes to the keeper. The New Zealand players put in a strong appeal but the umpire turns it down. Williamson has a chat with Boult and Blundell. After a brief discussion they take it upstairs. Replays roll in and show that the noise was off the inside edge. 10/2

10.3 OUT! Huge wicket! The Indian skipper departs! What a bowling change. A length ball on off, Kohli looks to push this away on the leg side with a forward stride but the ball actually cuts back in a little and goes between bat and pad. The off stump is uprooted! What a sight. Kohli bears a surprised look on his face. The Kiwis are well on top here. India's challenge to their batsmen has seen them failing so far. 39/4

5.3 OUT! Played on! Back on a length ball from Boult and it catches Rahul unaware. India have lost their third in no time. KL was initially ahead expecting the ball to be full but he has to then adjust by going backward. He is late on the shot and hence it goes off the blade and back on the stumps! Boult has his third, he is breathing fire here, 3 wickets inside 3 overs of his! 24/3

19.1 OUT! Neesham strikes first ball! What an excellent bowling change this. A cross seamer on top of off, Pandya plays awkwardly as he fails to pick the line and length early, he gets an outside edge that carries at a good height to the keeper. Half of India is now back in the hut! Pandya after looking good so far has to depart for 30. He will be disappointed to have missed out to makes some more. New Zealand tightening their grip even more. 77/5

22.3 OUT! Dhoni departs! His struggle in the middle comes to an end. A 42-ball 17, he was trying to hold the innings together but fails in the attempt to score a boundary. A length ball on middle, Dhoni runs down the track before looking to hit it over mid-wicket. He does not get close enough to the ball and hence does not get the elevation either. The ball goes straight to Neesham at mid-wicket. He will not drop those. Southee finally gets off the mark in the wickets column. India have lost 7 and not even reached 100 yet. 91/7

19.4 OUT! Karthik has hit this one straight down fine leg's throat! He cannot believe it and neither can the bowler. He is in splits. A fuller length ball on the pads, Karthik flicks it away stylishly and with excellent timing. He though fails to keep it down the ground and the ball flies straight to Ish Sodhi in the deep. He gobbles the ball that comes at him. Two wickets in his first over for Jimmy! 81/6

38.1 OUT! That has plucked out of thin air! What a fantastic catch. A short ball outside off, Ravindra Jadeja unleashes the cut but cannot keep this ball down. It flies to the left of point where a diving Guptill takes a stunner! He holds on just inches above the ground and that ends the frustration for New Zealand. The 62-run stand is broken and an excellent hand of 54 from Jadeja comes to a close. 177/9

28.4 OUT! What a catch! Ross Taylor has taken an excellent catch at first slip. Length ball on off, it moves away slightly after pitching. Bhuvneshwar has a poke at it but gets a thick outside edge. It flies wide of Ross Taylor at first slip. He dives to his right and takes a brilliant one-handed catch. Neesham gets his third of the game and India lose their 8th. 115/8

39.2 OUT! The innings comes to a close! Boult ends with 4! A short ball outside off from him, Kuldeep looks to make room and hit this with a flat bat over the bowler's head but the ball goes off the top edge and right in the air. It has no distance and the bowler walks near his end's stumps before completing a single catch. INDIA FOLD FOR 179! 179/10

9.4 OUT! Brilliant catch from KL Rahul! Full on leg, Guptill looks to flick but ends up chipping it uppishly towards mid-wicket. The ball goes really high. KL Rahul runs from mid on. He is running backwards but he never takes his eyes off the ball. He never loses the sight of the ball and takes a brilliant catch. Hardik gets a wicket off his very first over. 37/2

1.4 OUT! Peach of a delivery! Bumrah takes only 4 balls to bowl his USP ball. An unplayable inswinging yorker on middle, Munro had no clue of it. He was not prepared for it. He looks to drive again but gets caught right in front. The ball hits him on the boot. The Indian players go up in appeal and the umpire has no hesitation in raising the finger. Munro knows he is plumb so does Guptill and they do not take the review. Smart decision. 8/1

29.5 OUT! First wicket for spinner in this game. Chahal bowls a leg spinner which is slower through the air, Williamson looks to flick it against the spin but gets a top edge which lobs towards point. Rohit Sharma comes ahead and takes an easiest of catches. Chahal is having a giggle about it. Doubt this wicket will change the winner of this game. 151/3

36.4 OUT! What an anti-climax! Taylor is walking back with 1 run needed! A flighted ball outside off, Taylor reaches out and looks to drive but the ball holds slightly in the pitch. The ball goes uppishly straight to Kohli at cover who takes an easy catch. A new man will have to come in for just a run to be scored! Jadeja has a had good day personally even though his team did not. 179/4
