Matt Henry To Ishan Kishan
FOUR! Just over and that will be FIFTY for Ishan Kishan. Ishan brings up his half-century in 21 balls and this is now the fastest fifty by an Indian in a T20I against New Zealand. Abhishek Sharma held the record before this with his 22-ball half-century in the first game.

Matt Henry To Ishan Kishan
SIX! Swung away nicely! Another off-pace delivery but this is fuller, on middle and leg. Kishan stays deep in the crease and crouches to get under the ball. He clobbers it over deep square leg for a six.

Matt Henry To Suryakumar Yadav
FOUR! That is a shot and a half! At 131.3 kph, on a good length, on off and middle. Suryakumar brings his bat out in front and just checks his drive. It races past mid on's left for a four. Last four balls have found the fence and India are flying!
Change of ends for Matt Henry.

Mitchell Santner To Ishan Kishan
FOUR! Easy pickings! Tries to bowl it quick and on the pads, but spills out a full toss, on leg. Ishan Kishan gets down on one knee and paddles it over the short fine leg fielder for another boundary.

Mitchell Santner To Ishan Kishan
FOUR! Zakary Foulkes is not having a great day out there! Fired full and on middle, Ishan Kishan once again has a big swipe across the line. It goes off the inside half of the bat towards deep mid-wicket. Foulkes runs to his left, gets to it with a slide but lets it through his legs for a boundary.
Change of bat for Ishan Kishan.

Mitchell Santner To Ishan Kishan
What happened there? Not just the ball, the bat is flying too. Tossed up around off, Kishan camps back to heave it over the leg side but does not quite get hold of it. The inner edge drags it towards square leg, and the bat slips out of his hands, landing nearby as well. It's all happening in Raipur.

FOUR! Much more in control this time! Back of a length and outside off, Kishan frees his arms and absolutely crunches it towards point. Glenn Phillips flings himself to his left to grab it but the ball zips past him for a boundary. If he can't reach it, then no one can.

Jacob Duffy To Ishan Kishan
FOUR! In the air but in the gap as well! Pitched up and just outside off, Ishan Kishan extends his arms to reach out but loses his balance in the process. He carves it aerially but wide of extra cover. Santner gives a good chase, dives forward to push it back inside, but parries it to the fence for a boundary.

Zakary Foulkes To Ishan Kishan
SIX! BOOM! 24 runs off the over. This is full again and angling into the leg side, Kishan gets inside the line of it, uses his wrists and whips it over the deep fine leg fence for half a dozen more. India are right back in this chase.

Zakary Foulkes To Ishan Kishan
Misses out there! Fullish and around leg, Kishan tucks it away but straight towards short fine. A bit either side of that fielder and it would have been a boundary.

NO BALL AND FOUR! Not the greatest of starts from Zakary Foulkes! He lands this short of a length and outside off, but on his load up, he breaks the stumps with his right hand. Kishan stands tall and slaps it over extra cover for a boundary. It is called a No Ball. Free Hit up next...

Ohh...that one takes off! Back of a length and on off, rises up off the deck sharply. Suryakumar Yadav gets surprised as he hangs his bat away from his body. It takes the shoulder of the bat and goes towards deep third for a single.

Fuller on middle, SKY knocks it down the pitch, where Duffy gets a hand on it on his follow-through to make a half-stop.
In walks the Indian skipper. Here's Suryakumar Yadav.

Jacob Duffy To Abhishek Sharma OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! Jacob Duffy strikes on his first delivery, and there will be no fireworks from Abhishek Sharma in this game. Fuller delivery and on the pads. Just like Samson, Abhishek also picks it up and flicks it but hits it to the longer side of the ground. Also, does not get the distance as it goes straight to deep square leg, where Devon Conway pouches it safely. He makes up for his dropped chance. Sharma departs for a golden duck, and the Kiwis are well and truly on top here.
An eventful first over. Jacob Duffy will steam in from the other end.

Matt Henry To Sanju Samson OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! Matt Henry gets his man, and Devon Conway is the most relieved man on the field. Much fuller this time, on middle, angling in a bit. Sanju Samson looks to go over mid on, but gets it from the toe-end of the bat. He knows the moment he hits it and the ball lobs up towards mid on, where Rachin Ravindra backtracks and takes a good catch. Samson walks back for 6 off 5, and India are 6/1, chasing 209 runs.

Matt Henry To Sanju Samson
DROPPED AND SIX! That is a huge moment. Fuller and on the pads, Sanju Samson picks it up and flicks it away but does not get the timing right. Devon Conway at deep square leg comes a bit forward and then tries to grab it above his head with a reverse cup but only manages to parry it over the fence for a biggie.
