NZ vs IND Live Cricket Score

8 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! De Grandhomme strikes in his very first over. A length ball, outside off, nipping away, Shaw looks to run it down to third man but only manages to nick it behind. First strike for the Kiwis. Shaw looked good in his brief stay. 50/1

8.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Straight to the man. Agarwal goes too! Two wickets for New Zealand in the span of 5 balls. Not a wicket-taking delivery by any means. Short and outside off, Agarwal throws his bat at it and cuts really hard. But to his hard luck, he finds Tom Blundell at point to perfection. Mayank is in utter dismay. That was a boundary ball. Instead, it turns out to be a wicket delivery. So both the new openers, after looking good, throw their wickets away. 54/2

28.4 OUT! BOWLED! Done in by the googly. This is outside off, Kohli lunges to defend but does not pick the wrong 'un. There is a bit of a gap between bat and pad and the ball goes through the gap and hits the leg stump. Kohli looks stunned. Most batsmen do, when they get beaten. Kuldeep would be licking his lips. 156/3

45.3 OUT! Caught! Powerfully hit but straight to the fielder. Full and wide outside off, Iyer reaches out and carves it through the covers. But it is straight to Mitchell Santner at the ropes! Iyer cannot believe his luck. He trudges off but it has been one kind of an innings. Poor start but terrific acceleration. 292/4

15.4 OUT! Upper cut played but it finds the man! Guppy goes. A short ball, outside off, Martin arches back and looks to play the upper cut. But he ends up hitting it much squarer than he intended to. The ball goes towards backward point where Kedar Jadhav covers good ground to his left and takes a nice catch. The 85-run opening stand is broken. 85/1

28.3 OUT! Fantastic athleticism shown by the Indian skipper and that has resulted in a run out. The set batsman is out of here and India have broken the nagging 62-run stand. Bumrah delivers a slower length ball around off. It cuts back into the batsman as Taylor attempts to work it on the leg side. It drops in the cover region off his thigh pad and they attempt to steal a leg bye. But Kohli is very active, anticipates the moment, charges towards the ball, picks it up and dives forward to score a direct hit. Nicholls also dives in but the Indian players are sure that Henry is short. The square leg umpire confirms it from the third umpire before giving the marching orders. 177 needed off 129 balls. 171/3

19.1 OUT! STUMPED! Blundell departs now. Flighted beautifully outside off, the wrong 'un, Blundell gets down and looks to hit it through the off side but misses. Rahul is quick as lightning to whip the bails off and does not even bother appealing. Straightaway celebrates. The square leg umpire takes it upstairs. Replays show that while playing the shot, Blundell lost his balance and his foot got dragged out. Never came back in. Two quick wickets for India. 109/2

41.4 OUT! Latham holes out but he has done his job here! Full and flighted delivery, landing outside off and spinning away slightly, Latham shimmies down the track and tries to pump it over long on. But it comes off the bottom part of his bat and flies straight down the throat of Shami in the deep. End of a fabulous knock and partnership for the Kiwis. 39 needed from 50! 309/4

45.2 OUT! Is there some twist in the tale? 20 needed off 28 balls. Shami delivers a length ball around middle and leg, Neesham attempts to send it over cow corner but gets more height than distance behind his shot. Kedar Jadhav moves across to his left in the deep and takes the skier safely. He's visibly disappointed on his way back. 328/5

46 OUT! Colin de Grandhomme is well short of the crease. Short in length and around off, Taylor gets on top of the bounce and pulls it all along the ground to deep mid-wicket. He wants the second run and Colin responds but very slowly. Shreyas Iyer sends in a flat throw to the bowler's end where Kohli collects the ball and breaks the stumps. He sets off in celebration as the on-field umpire goes upstairs. The replays spell the end of de Grandhomme. Are we in for a comeback from India? 331/6
