IND vs NZ Live Cricket Score

5.4 OUT! Bowled 'em! It is always a dream for a pace bowler to witness such a sight. Bowls a full length delivery at 141 clicks around off, Rohit goes for a wild slog over mid on but misses it completely to get his off stump rattled. It was a poor shot from the Indian vice-captain and he pays the price for it. Fails to make his start count and his weakness against left-arm seam gets exposed again. Second wicket for Trent Boult, he is on a roll. 29/2

3.2 OUT! The left-arm seam of Boult has reaped dividends! He steams and bowls a back of a length delivery close to the off stump. Generates some extra bounce from the deck and Dhawan goes fishing after it, aiming to get it towards third man. However, ends up getting an outside edge towards Latham behind the wickets who moves to his left and takes a sharp catch. He has been trusted with the wicket-keeping job and has done well so far. Good start for New Zealand. 16/1

49.2 OUT! Kohli holes out! Good length delivery in line of the stumps, Virat backs away and whips it towards Boult at long on. Hasn't got the elevation on it and Trent pouches it safely. A gem of a knock from the Indian skipper comes to an end. The entire dressing room is up on its feet. 270/7

15.2 OUT! Intelligent bowling from Santner brings in the reward. He bowls this one slower through the air in line of the stumps, it stops a bit on the batsman as well. Jadhav is early into the drive and hence, ends up chipping it to the left side of Santner who moves to his left and gobbles it up with ease. Kedar's uncomfortable stay at the crease is cut short. 71/3

28.4 OUT! The frontline bowler does the trick for New Zealand. Perhaps, Kane Williamson should have brought him back to bowl earlier. Bowls a sharp bouncer on leg stump, Karthik goes for the pull but is hurried on by it. Ends up getting a top edge towards long leg. Munro runs to his left and takes a well-judged catch. A decent knock from Dinesh and the 73-run stand comes to an end. Can the Kiwis trigger a collapse? 144/4

41 OUT! Third wicket for Boult, he is having a great day at the office. Shortish delivery angling away from Dhoni, a bit of extra bounce on that. MS rises with the bounce and goes for a cut but isn't able to control it well. Guptill who is stationed at point crouches to his right and takes a good low catch. The 57-run stand comes to an end. 201/5

45.3 OUT! Take a bow, Kane Williamson! Length delivery on off, Pandya goes for an agricultural slog over long on but skews it off the outer half of the bat. Kane Williamson from extra cover sprints backwards after it. Deep extra cover and long off are interested but the skipper calls for it. He keeps his eyes on the ball and dives full length to grab it inches above the ground. The dangerous Pandya departs. 238/6

50 OUT! Well-directed bouncer climbing on Kumar. It gets big on him as he goes for the pull. Henry Nicolls at deep mid-wicket moves to his left and grabs a well-judged catch. INDIA FINISH ON 280/8. 280/8

17.2 OUT! Hardik Pandya strikes! What an excellent catch that is from Karthik! Pandya persists with the short ball, Guptill swivels to pull but the ball gets bigger on him. He gets a big top edge towards deep mid-wicket. Karthik in the deep comes running to his right, keeps his eyes on the ball and then dives forward to take a really good catch. He took one earlier as well but this one is just too good a catch. In fact, Harsha Bhogle on-air says he didn't pick it up at first but then when he did, he did it really well to cover good ground. Guptill departs after his scratchy knock. 80/3

9.3 OUT! In the air... taken! Colin Munro falls to a slower one and fails to make the life count. Bumrah from over the wicket, nicely changes the pace and delivers it full on middle and leg. Munro tries clipping it away but the slowness on the ball brings his downfall. He gets a leading edge which balloons high in the air towards cover. Karthik moves backwards a bit, keeps his eyes on the ball and settles nicely under it. Never easy to take those under the lights. India get a breakthrough. 48/1

12.3 OUT! Straight to Kedar Jadhav! This time he makes no mistake! Kuldeep Yadav gets the big fish! He bowls a googly, wider outside off and asking the Kiwi skipper to go after it. Kane makes room and tries to hit it over extra cover. Doesn't bother to keep it down and ends up spooning it to Jadhav stationed there. The crowd is back alive. Don't remember when was the last time Williamson departed for a cheap score. 62/2

48.5 OUT! Has that carried? Oh yes! It has! No one is celebrating, Bhuvneshwar Kumar almost started to walk near the run up area but Chahal slowly gets up and claims the catch. Now Taylor starts to walk back. Would you believe it? Ross Taylor survived an LBW scare but now departs when his side is almost over the finish line. Ball - Fuller in length on off, Taylor smacks it hard but finds Chahal at extra cover who takes a good low catch. Ross walks back to a big round of applause. New Zealand are just a run away from victory. 280/4
