IND vs NZ Live Cricket Score

5 OUT! CASTLED! Lockie Ferguson strikes again. He bowls this at 145.3 clicks, fuller and on middle and leg. Abhishek Sharma gives himself some room and tries to go over the in-field on the off side but gets beaten by the pace on this ball as this is the fastest of the over. It skids through and crashes onto the middle and leg stumps. Lockie is absolutely delighted, and Sharma has to walk back for a quickfire 30 off 16. 48/2

2.5 OUT! TAKEN! Lockie Ferguson draws first blood! It is absolute silence here in Greenfield Stadium, as their local boy walks back cheaply. This is fuller and around off, at 145.8 kph, with not much movement. Sanju Samson takes a step back in the crease and has a wild hoick across the line, but only manages to get a fat leading edge. It flies towards deep third, where Bevon Jacobs moves to his left, gets low, and takes a good catch near his knees. Change of bats does not change the fortunes for Samson, as he goes back for 6 (6). India are 31/1. 31/1

17.3 OUT! GONE! Finally, New Zealand get rid of Ishan Kishan. At 122.8 kph, it is short and slower, angled away outside off. Kishan rocks onto the back foot and sets up for the pull, swivelling across the line but only manages a top edge. It goes high but not far enough, and Phillips at deep mid-wicket, this time, ensures that it doesn't slip away and takes a comfortable catch. 103 off just 43 for Ishan Kishan as he trudges off to the dugout and is received by a huge applause from his teammates and the crowd. 233/4

14.3 OUT! STUMPED! Mitchell Santner finally gets the breakthrough for New Zealand. He bowls this slower through the air, full and just outside off, keeping it out of the reach of the batter. Suryakumar Yadav tries to repeat the dose by coming down the track, but this gets beaten by the flight and turn on the ball. Tim Seifert, the keeper, collects it and breaks the stumps with SKY well out of his crease. He departs for an entertaining 63 off 30, and gets a big applause from the crowd on his way back. India are 185/3. 185/3

19.2 OUT! TOP EDGE, GONE! Jamieson digs in a short ball, and takes pace off as this is the off cutter on top of middle that climbs on the batter. Hardik Pandya swings early to pull, one hand comes off the handle and he top edges it in the air. The ball spoons up and goes down the throat of Bevon Jacobs, stationed at the deep mid-wicket region. Settles under it and takes it calmly. Hardik Pandya falls after an entertaining 42 off just 17 balls. India are 261/5. 261/5

1 OUT! CAUGHT! A soft, soft dismissal and India have their first wicket. Singh bashes the hard length and gets a bit of an extra lift on the leg stump. Tim Seifert just checks the flick shot, but hits it off the higher end of the bat and fails to keep it along the ground. Ends up chipping it straight to Hardik Pandya at short mid-wicket, who takes a sitter around his chest. Tim Seifert perishes on 5 (3) and New Zealand are 17/1, chasing 272. 17/1

9 OUT! TAKEN! Axar Patel breaks the 100-run stand and gets the big fish here. Ishan Kishan would be a relieved man as he missed a stumping chance on the first ball of the over. Axar drags his length back, bowls this quicker, on middle. Finn Allen tries to swat it down the ground but just gets a bit cramped up and does not get the timing on that one as the ball hits the upper half of the bat. It flies towards long on, where Rinku Singh settles under it and pouches it safely. Allen goes back after a remarkable 80 off 38. New Zealand are 117/2, chasing 272. 117/2

11.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Another set batter bites the dust. A knuckle ball from Singh, short and outside off. Rachin Ravindra gets deceived by the pace off. Is forced to reach for it and mistimes his pull shot off the top edge. Axar Patel runs in a bit off the ropes from deep square leg and takes a fine catch. Rachin Ravindra falls for 30 off 17 balls and from 117/1, New Zealand slide down to 137/4. 137/4

10.2 OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Wicket number 2 for Axar and catch number two for Rinku as well. Back of a length on the middle stump line with no turn on offer. Phillips clears the front leg and goes hard down the ground, but it comes right off the bottom half of the bat and balloons straight up into the night sky. Rinku Singh at long on shuffles to his left, camps under it, and plucks a simple catch. Glenn Phillips departs for 7 (6) and suddenly, New Zealand have slipped a bit to 131/3. 131/3

15.5 OUT! CHOPPED ON! Fifer for Arshdeep, and he is off running and celebrating here. He bowls a wide yorker, outside off. Daryl Mitchell gets into position to play the reverse scoop and takes it on the full as well. However, the ball goes off the toe-end of the bat and crashes onto the stumps. No idea how that ball hit the stumps from there, as even if Mitchell tried, he could not do it again. He departs for 26 off 12, and the Kiwis are 8 down now. 180/8

11.3 OUT! TAKEN! It is all going south for New Zealand now. Arshdeep goes pace on and into the pitch, short, on top of middle. Mitchell Santner is rushed onto his pull shot, but only manages to slice it straight up the chimney. The ball sails towards extra cover where Suryakumar Yadav gets under it and takes the dolly. Even before he took the catch, Arshdeep already started celebrating. A brilliant comeback from him in this spell. A silver duck for Mitchell Santner and the Kiwis are 137/5. 137/5

14.1 OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! An absolute beauty from Varun. A deceptive googly from Varun Chakaravarthy, on a length, around off. It lands and skids and spins in dramatically. Bevon Jacobs does not pick the wrong' un and tries to drive it away, but without moving his feet. That creates a huge gap between the bat and pad and the ball sneaks through to crash into the stumps behind. Bevon Jacobs falls for 7 (11) and New Zealand are 166/6, needing 106 more off 35 balls. 166/6

15.3 OUT! DRAGGED ON! Number four for Arshdeep Singh. He bangs this into the pitch, on off, rolls his fingers to take pace off. Kyle Jamieson opens up his stance for the big heave across the line but goes through the shot early. He only manages to get a bottom edge back onto the stumps. New Zealand are 179/7 now. 179/7

19.4 OUT! TAKEN! Rinku Singh wraps things up with a wicket! He drags his length back again, outside off. Ish Sodhi has to reach out for it again but only manages to slice it off the outer half of the bat. It lobs up in the air, and Arshdeep Singh at cover-point takes a dolly. He puts the ball in his pocket as he has taken a fifer here. INDIA WIN BY 46 RUNS! 225/10

17 OUT! TIMBER! Number nine goes now now. Axar Patel gives this one some more flight, full and on middle, Lockie Ferguson dances down the track to slog it across the line but misses a straight one as it goes through to rattle the stumps. India need just one wicket to win now. 191/9
