Hardik Pandya To Tim Robinson
FOUR! Off the edge! Pace off at 113.6 kph, on a length, outside off, Robinson throws his hands at it and it flies off a thickish outside edge, past short third for a four.

Hardik Pandya To Tim Robinson
Wide! Hardik bends his back and digs it in short, over off. Robinson swivels but then bails out of the pull. The ball sails over his head for a wide.

SIX! Hit with real authority! Arshdeep lands it on the fuller side, on off, Phillips just holds his shape and swings through the line. Tonks it over mid off and picks up a six.

Arshdeep Singh To Tim Robinson
Tight single! Arshdeep lands it on a back of a length, on middle. Robinson gets on top of the bounce and tucks it in front of Ishan Kishan at a catching mid-wicket. Kishan swoops in and has a shy at the bowling end whilst losing his balance. Tim dives to get home. It would have been interesting had the throw hit.

Arshdeep Singh To Glenn Phillips
FOUR! Lovely shot! A bit of shape back into the right-hander, on a length, on middle. Phillips brings his wrists into play and threads the gap between mid on and mid-wicket for the first four of the chase.

Hardik Pandya To Tim Robinson
Just out of reach! Pandya drags the length back, on off, Robinson stays put in the crease and swings through the line. Skies it off the bottom half of the blade but he gets enough bat on it to evade the backtracking Suryakumar Yadav at mid on. Two runs taken.

Hardik Pandya To Tim Robinson
A bit of hesitation but no harm done. Keeps the stumps in play, does Hardik, on off, Robinson dabs it towards cover and wants to sneak in a single but Phillips is not interested and he sends Tim back. It was the right call as Rinku was quick to get to the ball.

Hardik Pandya To Glenn Phillips
Fuller and on middle, Phillips taps it in front mid on and steals a quick single from Arshdeep Singh, who is caught on his heels.
New Zealand in early trouble and out comes Glenn Phillips to bat. Interesting call.

Hardik Pandya To Rachin Ravindra OUT!
OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Hardik strikes from the other end and backs up what Arshdeep did in the first over. Angling away again, on a back of a length, on middle. Ravindra uses his feet this time but is nowhere near the pitch of it. He pushes hard at the ball to force it down the ground. Gets an outside edge and it is snaffled by Abhishek Sharma to his left at slip. New Zealand are 1/2, chasing 239.

Hardik Pandya To Rachin Ravindra
Another one that leaves the left-hander, on a nagging length, Ravindra tries to hit this one on the rise but mistimes it to mid off.

Hardik Pandya To Rachin Ravindra
A gentle outswinger at 128 kph, on a good length, punched on the up to cover without much timing.
It will be Hardik Pandya to share the new ball with Arshdeep Singh and not Jasprit Bumrah.

Arshdeep Singh To Tim Robinson
Rapped on the pads! A prolonged appeal from Arshdeep Singh but turned down. Suryakumar Yadav has a word with the bowler and the keeper. He takes the review just before the timer runs out. Is it doing too much? The first replay does seem to indicate so. Pitched up by Arshdeep from over the wicket, Robinson stays rooted to the crease and brings his bat out in front for the flick. He is beaten on the inside edge and wears it on the front pad. No bat involved but the Ball Tracking has the ball swinging beyond the leg pole. India burn an early review.

Arshdeep Singh To Rachin Ravindra
Inswinger attempted by Arshdeep, on a good length, outside off. Ravindra pushes hard at the ball. The ball goes off the outside edge down to deep third for a single.

Arshdeep Singh To Rachin Ravindra
On a length, outside off, Rachin reaches out and cracks the drive but picks out the man at point.
A wicket falls in the first over and that brings out the new batter. Rachin Ravindra walks in at number 3 for New Zealand.

Arshdeep Singh To Devon Conway OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! A stunner from Sanju Samson. Devon Conway departs for a two-ball duck. Full and moving away in the air. Conway extends his hands away from his body and goes hard on the lofted drive on the off side. The ball takes the outside edge and it loops behind towards the keeper. Samson dives to his left and sticks out his left glove to hold onto a fine catch.

Arshdeep Singh To Devon Conway
Slightly wayward from Singh first up. He drifts down leg in search of swing but the ball stays within the new guideline for wide on the leg side. Conway gets on his toes to flick it away but misses.
