We are back for the chase!

... THE RUN CHASE ...

Right then, New Zealand have posted a good total on the board.

India showed fight and resilience throughout their bowling effort. The start was not ideal for them, but Washington Sundar got them back in the game with a couple of wickets in the fifth over, which included the crucial scalp of Finn Allen and terrific catch from him to dismiss Mark Chapman. Then they allowed the Kiwis to build a couple of good partnerships in the middle, but once again they were able to comeback in the game, getting the half-centurion, Devon Conway, and Michael Bracewell out in the 18th over. The latter was a result of some individual brilliance from Ishan Kishan. Sundar was the pick of the bowlers with two wickets while Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav and Shivam Mavi got one each. However, Arshdeep Singh will want to forget that last over where he conceded 27 runs which started with a no ball, and this is not the first time for him. So, he need to work on that. Now, it is upto their batters to come out and chase this down.

New Zealand started off well, with Finn Allen scoring runs at a brisk rate and Devon Conway playing the supporting role. Both of them added 43 runs for the opening stand, but found themselves in a bit of trouble as they lost Allen and Mark Chapman in the same over. After that, Conway and Glenn Phillips steadied the ship with a 60-run partnership where Conway took the charge. He lost his partner, but went on to score a half-century and continued his good form. Daryl Mitchell struggled a bit against the spinners, but once he got the hold of the pitch, he looked like a diferent batter altogether. A quick-fire fifty from him in the end took his side over the 175-run mark which gives their bowlers plenty to play with.

A fine end to innings for New Zealand! Daryl Mitchell was able to rack up 27 runs in the last over which certainly pushed their total over-par. However, India will not be that much bother about it as they know that dew will come in and the conditions will be a bit easier for them. It will be an exciting chase to watch nonetheless.

19.6 overs (2 Runs) Two more to end the innings and 27 runs come off the final over! Arshdeep Singh nails another yorker outside the off stump, Daryl Mitchell thumps it down to long off and races back for the second. New Zealand with 176/6 on the board!

19.5 overs (2 Runs) Well bowled! Another wide yorker, Daryl Mitchell looks for the reverse ramp but gets it off the inside edge toward deep square leg. They push hard for two but Kuldeep Yadav misfields and they get there with ease.

19.4 overs (0 Run) Gets in the wide yorker this time around and Daryl Mitchell bunts it back to the keeper. Ish Sodhi looks for the single but he is sent back and rightly so.

19.3 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! The boundaries keep on coming. This is a low full toss outside off, Daryl Mitchell reaches out and slices it through the point region for a boundary. 23 runs off the over with 3 deliveries still remaining.

19.2 overs (6 Runs) SIX! Make that a hat-trick of maximums and that will also be FIFTY for Daryl Mitchell, a gem of a knock so far from him. Arshdeep Singh comes from over the wicket and looks for the yorker at the toes but he misses. Mitchell hammers it flat and over the cow corner fence for a maximum.

19.1 overs (6 Runs) SIX! Back-to-back maximums! This is short and at the body, Daryl Mitchell is waiting on the back foot for it and pulls it flat over the backward square leg fence for a biggie. 13 runs already off just one delivery.

19.1 overs (7 Runs) NO BALL AND SIX! All the way! Arshdeep Singh misses the yorker and serves it in the slot around middle, Daryl Mitchell goes deep in his crease and smokes it over long on for a maximum. Also, Arshdeep Singh has overstepped and a Free Hit will now follow.

Ish Sodhi is the next man in. Also, Arshdeep Singh (3-0-24-1) to bowl the last over.

18.6 overs (0 Run) OUT! CAUGHT! Another one bites the dust and Shivam Mavi rounds off a wonderful penultimate over with a wicket. Pace on again and banged in at a good height around off stump. Mitchell Santner looks to take it on but fails to get on top of the bounce. Santner pulls it aerially straight down the throat of Rahul Tripathi at deep mid-wicket and he makes no mistake. New Zealand lose their fifth wicket now.

Arshdeep Singh comes from around the wicket and angles in a shortish delivery into the body. Daryl Mitchell looks to tuck it away but misses and the ball goes off the thigh pads toward leg slip. Michael Bracewell wants the single and charges to the striker's end but Kishan is quick to take off his gloves and pick up the ball. Kishan scores a direct hit at the striker's end and the replays show that Bracewell is short of his crease.

Is that a run-out? Ishan Kishan with a direct hit at the batter's end and the umpires sends it upstairs. The replays show that Bracewell is well short of his crease and he will have to go back.

15.3 overs (0 Run) A big appeal for LBW as Daryl Mitchell gets caught on the crease but it is turned down. Hardik Pandya reviews it immediately and this one seems to be close. Nothing on UltraEdge. Ball Tracking shows the wickets as umpire's call and Mitchell survives yet again. Coming to the delivery, Washington Sundar bowled it flatter and around off stump, getting the ball to turn in sharply. Mitchell gets pinged back as he looks to flick but misses and gets a wrap on the pads.
