Nathan Smith to Naman Dhir, FOUR - no half-measures this time as Naman Dhir pulls emphatically through mid-wicket to finish the job. India win by 5 wickets and go 1-0 up in the series.
Nathan Smith to Naman Dhir, no run - 137ks short outside off, Naman Dhir wanted to pull and ended up getting beaten on the top-edge. Almost withdrew his stroke at the last moment
Nathan Smith to Rahul, 1 run - 137ks skiddy length delivery on off stump, Rahul clips it to the right of short mid-wicket for a quick single
Nathan Smith to Rahul, no run - good length on off stump at 136ks, Rahul hangs back and taps it back to the bowler

Jacob Duffy to Naman Dhir, 1 run - swivels across, controls the pull with a swivel and a roll of the wrists to deep square
Jacob Duffy to Shreyas Iyer, out Caught by Nicholls!! One more down. Shreyas Iyer looks to take on the short ball and this time he finds the fielder. Was eager to go over mid-wicket - but the ball arrived much quicker than anticipated and took the thick inside half straight to Nicholls at short mid-wicket. Shreyas Iyer c Nicholls b Jacob Duffy 15(13) [4s-1 6s-1]
Jacob Duffy to Shreyas Iyer, SIX - top-edge flies for a maximum! Skiddy short ball angled into the right hander, Shreyas Iyer got hurried by the pace and somehow managed to hook it for a 67-metre maximum over fine leg
Jacob Duffy to Rahul, 1 run - jumps inside the crease and tucks the 133ks length delivery to the right of square leg
Jacob Duffy to Rahul, wide - short ball angling down the leg-side, Rahul shoulders arms and lets it pass
Jacob Duffy to Rahul, no run - short outside off, Rahul hops and shoulders arms
Nathan Smith to Shreyas Iyer, no run - Nathan Smith ends the over with a length delivery and Shreyas Iyer dabs it to backward point
Nathan Smith to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR - rushed by a short delivery that follows him and gets big on him. He almost shuts his eyes and is forced into the pull, more as a means of self-preservation. Gets a top edge that sails over the keeper for a boundary
Nathan Smith to Shreyas Iyer, no run - stays on the back foot for this length delivery angled in and dabs it to backward point
Nathan Smith to Shreyas Iyer, no run - eases this fullish delivery to wide mid-on and does it off the inside half of the bat
Nathan Smith to Shreyas Iyer, no run - short of a good length at 135kph, Shreyas Iyer knocks it to mid-on
Nathan Smith to Shreyas Iyer, no run - banged into the pitch outside off, Shreyas Iyer is happy to let it go
Jacob Duffy to Axar Patel, out Caught by Glenn Phillips!! That's a terrific catch at backward point - and there's no guessing who the man is - Glenn Phillips! Short and wide outside off, with a little extra bounce - something we often see here at Eden Park. Axar reaches out, looking to steer it past backward point, but can't quite control the shot. The fielder dives to his left and pulls off a superb catch above his head while on the move! India have lost two wickets in the space of three deliveries, but you would have to say it's come a little too late. Axar Patel c Glenn Phillips b Jacob Duffy 0(2)
Jacob Duffy to Axar Patel, no run - back of a length into the body, Axar Patel fends it to his right
Jacob Duffy to Virat Kohli, out Caught by Tim Seifert!! Kohli can't quite control the pull this time - and he's caught at deep backward square leg! He was looking to place it a little finer but gets it off the bottom of the bat, losing control. Seifert reacts quickly, moving swiftly to his right and pouching it safely with both hands. End of a superb knock, and Virat Kohli would be disappointed not to finish the job. Virat Kohli c Tim Seifert b Jacob Duffy 74(51) [4s-13 6s-1]
Jacob Duffy to Shreyas Iyer, 1 run - gets a little too big on Iyer, who can't quite control the pull and gets it down towards fine leg for a single
Jacob Duffy to Virat Kohli, 1 run - slower bumper outside off, Virat Kohli waits for the ball to arrive before tapping it to third man for a single
Jacob Duffy to Virat Kohli, FOUR - Kohli at his absolute best! Charges down the track and, despite the length being short of full, smokes it over the bowler's head for a boundary. A shot packed with power, timing and control
Nathan Smith to Shreyas Iyer, no run - angles in, and Iyer is a little late getting into his defensive shot, eventually inside-edging it onto the pads
Nathan Smith to Shreyas Iyer, 2 runs - short and wide enough for Iyer to cut it past backward point. Tickner does well to move across quickly and cut it off, keeping the batters down to two
Nathan Smith to Shreyas Iyer, 2 runs - fullish around off, Shreyas Iyer inner halves it to deep backward square leg for a couple of runs
Nathan Smith to Shreyas Iyer, no run - an outside edge, but it doesn't carry to first slip, who is positioned a little wider. The ball shapes away off a length as Iyer pushes at it tentatively, but he gets away with it as it falls short
Nathan Smith to Shubman Gill, out Caught by Tom Latham!! That should be a straightforward catch for Tom Latham - and yes, he takes it comfortably! Back of a length, and it bounces more than Gill would have expected. He goes for his favourite pull shot but gets a massive top edge that balloons behind the stumps. Latham has all the time in the world to get underneath it and complete the catch. Shubman Gill c Tom Latham b Nathan Smith 37(56) [4s-5]
Nathan Smith to Shubman Gill, no run - shapes in off the length and Shubman Gill stands firm in his defence to cover
Jacob Duffy to Virat Kohli, no run - banged into the pitch outside off, Virat Kohli flat bats it straight to the man at mid-on, and can't find a single. Blair Tickner gets into an awkward position while gathering the ball and takes a moment to get back on his feet
Jacob Duffy to Virat Kohli, FOUR - all too easy for Virat Kohli! A slower delivery gone wrong - a back of the hand attempt that ends up as a low full toss on the pads. Kohli rolls his wrists beautifully and places it very fine for another boundary
Jacob Duffy to Shubman Gill, 1 run - 133kph, leg lined length delivery, Shubman Gill nudges it to deep square leg for a single
Jacob Duffy to Shubman Gill, no run - hangs back for this short of a length delivery - 134kph - and offers a solid defence

Jacob Duffy to Virat Kohli, FOUR - Kohli is batting with authority! Gets one right in the slot and absolutely smokes it straight down the ground for a boundary
Nathan Smith to Shubman Gill, no run - blocks this length delivery to cover and says no to a single
Nathan Smith to Virat Kohli, 1 run - angles in short of a length, and Kohli misses the pull, taking a blow on the arm into the thigh pad. Something falls off him in the process - looks like his watch, which appears to have broken
Nathan Smith to Virat Kohli, no run - skids through short of a good length on the off and middle, Virat Kohli dabs it to the point region
Nathan Smith to Virat Kohli, no run - drops this in front of point and wanted a single, but is rightly sent back by Gill
Nathan Smith to Virat Kohli, no run - Virat Kohli wants to finish this in a hurry! Charges down the track and looks to launch it straight down the ground but misses, beaten by some extra bounce outside off
Nathan Smith to Shubman Gill, 1 run - opens the bat face and steers this to the left of backward point for a single
Blair Tickner to Virat Kohli, FOUR - you keep bowling short, and Virat Kohli will keep pulling you away! This one had a little more bounce than the previous two, but Kohli rides it beautifully, swivelling to pull it to deep backward square leg for the third boundary of the over
Blair Tickner to Virat Kohli, FOUR - take that, says Virat Kohli! You simply cannot afford to bowl short to this man, especially at this pace. The right-hander thumps it through mid-wicket once again, even straighter than the previous one, and collects another boundary
Blair Tickner to Virat Kohli, no run - a sharp lifter, angling in towards the batter. Kohli misses the glance and is struck on the body
Blair Tickner to Virat Kohli, no run - shortish close to off, Virat Kohli drops it in front of cover
Blair Tickner to Virat Kohli, no run - back of a length angling into the body of Virat Kohli, who tucks it into the on side
Blair Tickner to Virat Kohli, FOUR - when it comes to run chases, Virat Kohli rarely misses a beat! Just another day at the office for arguably the greatest ODI batter of all time. He brings up his 80th ODI fifty, to go with a staggering 55 hundreds. Gets there in majestic style! A short delivery on offer, and Kohli gets right on top of it, pulling it emphatically through deep mid-wicket for a boundary
Nathan Smith to Shubman Gill, no run - oh GP takes off on his flight and pulls off a stunning left-handed save horizontal to the ground. This short of length delivery was cut so hard. It looked like a boundary for a good part so Virat was charging for a run. He wasn't expecting GP to stop that. Gill was waiting for the ball to pass the fielder so he didn't move. Virat was almost at the batter's end when he had to reverse. The throw was wide from GP as he was off balance and Virat was easily home
Nathan Smith to Shubman Gill, FOUR - that's a nice square-drive for four. Full and outside off stump, Gill leans forward and opens the bat face on the drive to send it through point
Nathan Smith to Shubman Gill, 2 runs - short of length delivery just outside off stump, opens the bat face and slices it past backward point. Gill calls for two and they get two

Nathan Smith to Shubman Gill, no run - fullish delivery, Gill drives towards mid-off
Nathan Smith to Shubman Gill, no run - covers the line and keeps it out
Blair Tickner to Virat Kohli, SIX - oh wow! Such a great pull shot. He tells the bowler that he is the boss out in the middle. Such authority on that pull shot. Never bothered the bounce on this short delivery, rose tall and muscled the pull over mid-wicket and hit it high and handsome. Enjoys that hit with a smile on his face
Blair Tickner to Virat Kohli, no run - bumper, well high and left alone. Latham had to jump very high to grab this one-handed
Blair Tickner to Shubman Gill, 1 run - short of length delivery, Gill taps it to backward point
Blair Tickner to Shubman Gill, no run - defended to the off-side
Blair Tickner to Shubman Gill, no run - cut him in half and the ball escapes the inside edge and flies over the sticks. Short of a length delivery nips back in, Gill wanted to defend, couldn't cover the line and get bat on ball
Blair Tickner to Virat Kohli, 3 runs - oh steep bounce but Virat handles it so well. Many batters could have easily got that on the splice of the bat and holed out trying a cross-batted shot, but Virat quickly reacted and rose as tall as he could to loft it on the rise and ensured he only hit it just well enough to clear the infield. Had he gone too hard, might have completely mistimed it. In fact it was just an inch or two from hitting the splice
Blair Tickner to Virat Kohli, 2 runs - oh steep bounce but Virat handles it so well.
Kyle Jamieson to Virat Kohli, 1 run - short of length delivery on the leg stump, Virat glances it through backward square leg
Kyle Jamieson to Virat Kohli, FOUR - dismissive pull shot! Lovely swivel pull. Short delivery on the stumps, Virat rocks back and pulls, sends it over mid-wicket and he thorougly enjoyed the shot
Kyle Jamieson to Virat Kohli, no run - this length delivery nipped back in to beat Virat on the flick. He wore it on the front pad in line leg stump and it always looked like missing leg stump and NZ burn a review
Kyle Jamieson to Virat Kohli, FOUR - edgeddd and just wide of Mitchell at slip. Short of a length outside off stump, steep bounce so Virat couldn't control the dab to third man. Thick edge flew to the right. Mitchell threw himself to the right and third man couldn't cut it off to the left
Kyle Jamieson to Shubman Gill, 1 run - guides this length delivery late off the back foot and steers it to third man
Kyle Jamieson to Shubman Gill, no run - full delivery outside off stump, Gill lets it go
Blair Tickner to Shubman Gill, 1 run - ohh the under edge found and just short of Latham. Would have been so dramatic if this carried to the keeper. Shortish delivery, Gill was early into the pull shot and tried to fetch it from outside off stump, under edge just landed in front of the diving Latham to the left. Tickner hides his face in disappointment
Blair Tickner to Shubman Gill, no run - 141kph bumper that flies past Gill, this time he drops his hands and lets it pass
Blair Tickner to Shubman Gill, FOUR - slices it hard and late, almost hits it all the way. Third man was fine, so the moment Blair Tickner offered some width on this short of length delivery, Gill backed away slightly, used his wrists to fiercely cut it to the fence
Blair Tickner to Shubman Gill, no run - short of length delivery, Gill defends off the back foot
Blair Tickner to Shubman Gill, FOUR - oh he's looked to bail out of the pull but he couldn't get the bat down in time. Top edge flew over the keeper and teased three fielders to the fence. Gill normally is good with the pull but he was surprised by the extra bounce on this one and got away with the false shot
Blair Tickner to Shubman Gill, no run - short of length delivery on the off stump, Gill defends off the back foot
Kyle Jamieson to Shubman Gill, 1 run - oh a direct-hit would have been so tight for Gill. He short-arm jabbed this pull to the right of mid-on. Smith picked it up with his right hand and had a shy at the stumps in one go. Oh yes, Gill would have been out by a yard
Kyle Jamieson to Shubman Gill, no run - short of length delivery, Gill defends off the back foot

Kyle Jamieson to Virat Kohli, FOUR - that is one for the cameras! Full ball in the outside off corridor, Kohli leans into it and slams the drive inside out over extra cover for a one-bounce boundary. Plenty of class in that stroke from the legend
Blair Tickner to Virat Kohli, 1 run - short of length delivery outside off stump, Virat dabs to third man
Blair Tickner to Virat Kohli, FOUR - the first time Virat has been allowed to play the cover drive and pounces. It's more of a punch-drive on the rise as it wasn't a full delivery. Got on top of the bounce, got the elbow high and placed it wide of mid-off
Blair Tickner to Virat Kohli, no run - good length delivery on the stumps, Virat defends to the on-side
Blair Tickner to Shubman Gill, 1 run - edged and flies flat and on the bounce to third man. Came rapidly to Smith who did well to stop the boundary. He had throw himself back slightly because it bounced awkwardly in front of him

Kyle Jamieson to Shubman Gill, no run - defends with an angled and the moment it went to backward point Gill threw his head back in disappointment that he didn't place it right. Would have been at least two had it got it wide of the fielder
Kyle Jamieson to Shubman Gill, no run - solid in defence is Gill to this wobble seam fullish ball
Kyle Jamieson to Virat Kohli, 1 run - pushed towards backward point this time
Kyle Jamieson to Virat Kohli, no run - short of length delivery moving away, Virat plays inside the line as he pokes at it and misses

Jacob Duffy to Shubman Gill, no run - blocked to the off-side
Jacob Duffy to Virat Kohli, leg byes - 1 run, oh tries to advance and go even more aggressively at this length delivery, gets hit on the pad and it was heading down the leg-side
Jacob Duffy to Virat Kohli, FOUR - get out of my sight pick-up pull from Virat. India get a boundary after 19 balls. New Zealand were building pressure and Virat is pumped that he's released some of it. Punches gloves with his captain. Short of a length delivery angling in, Virat swnds it behind square on the on-side and finds the fence
Jacob Duffy to Virat Kohli, no run - nips back in and hits him on the thigh pad. Short of a length delivery from Jacob Duffy, Virat got troubled by the seam movement
Kyle Jamieson to Virat Kohli, 1 run - driven to mid-off. Virat takes off and heads home easily before Santner's throw from mid-off crossed the stumps
Kyle Jamieson to Shubman Gill, 1 run - short of length delivery moving away, Gill dabs to third man with an open bat face
Kyle Jamieson to Shubman Gill, no run - oopsy! Hit him close to the box! Grimaces in pain. Short of a length delivery nipping back in, Gill is troubled by the seam movement and he doesn't make contact in his attempted defence
Kyle Jamieson to Shubman Gill, no run - back foot defence to point
Kyle Jamieson to Virat Kohli, 1 run - lets this short of length delivery come to him and clips it to long leg, charges for the first run to see if there is two and settles for one

Jacob Duffy to Virat Kohli, 1 run - fullish delivery angling in, Virat clips it through backward square leg
Jacob Duffy to Shubman Gill, 1 run - picked away off the stumps, but fine leg isn't as square as India had so he is able to cut it off
Jacob Duffy to Shubman Gill, no run - solid now in defence. Covered the line nicely and gave the full face of the bat to this fullish delivery, goes to cover
Jacob Duffy to Shubman Gill, no run - great sound off the bat on the defence. Didn't bother moving the front foot much though
Jacob Duffy to Shubman Gill, no run - careful tuck to mid-on and Gill says "no, no, no, no," to stop Virat from attempting the quick single. Was too risky
Jacob Duffy to Shubman Gill, no run - short of length delivery moving away, Gill defends off the back foot
Kyle Jamieson to Virat Kohli, no run - now hits the pad but too high for LBW so they mute themselves. Length delivery nips back in to trouble Virat on the flick
Kyle Jamieson to Virat Kohli, no run - now he wants to pull it over mid-wicket but makes no contact. Shortish delivery, Virat stood tall and looked to clear the infield but the bounce was too much for him
Kyle Jamieson to Virat Kohli, no run - beaten! The classic bowling in the channel outisde off stump to Virat ball from Kyle Jamieson. Wobble seam short of length delivery nipping away, Virat pokes in his defence and misses
Kyle Jamieson to Shubman Gill, 1 run - fends with one hand to square leg as he couldn't get fully forward or go back. Throw goes to the bowler's end and Gill kind of had to rush to complete the run as he was jogging initially
Kyle Jamieson to Shubman Gill, 2 runs - silky flick. Shubman Gill let this full delivery angle into him and played a lovely wristy shot, managed to get it wide of mid-on but it's cut off in the deep as the outfield slows it down
Kyle Jamieson to Shubman Gill, no run - good length delivery on the stumps, Gill defends
Jacob Duffy to Virat Kohli, FOUR - and just like the previous occasion where he got opened up previous ball, Virat times the flick so well next ball to send it through square leg. All along the carpet and yet again the key was that front foot not getting across the line
Jacob Duffy to Virat Kohli, no run - leading edge rolls to cover. Again gets squared up on the flick by this length delivery that leaves him off the pitch. Luckily doesn't go to hand
Jacob Duffy to Virat Kohli, 2 runs - Virat pulls, not in control but this powerplay so no one at deep square to attack this catch. Good surprise short delivery, Virat probably wasn't expecting that length so he didn't connect well
Jacob Duffy to Virat Kohli, no run - fullish and moving away, Virat defends off the front foot
Jacob Duffy to Virat Kohli, wide - fired down the leg-side
Jacob Duffy to Shubman Gill, 1 run - fullish and moving away, Gill plays with an angled bat to third man
Jacob Duffy to Shubman Gill, FOUR - oh belted! Aggression from Gill. Advanced and gave himself some room as well, Duffy couldn't adjust the outswinger and Gill reached out to easily loft it over cover-point
Kyle Jamieson to Virat Kohli, FOUR - and this time the front foot isn't across the line so Virat is easily able to flick this length delivery behind square and collects his first boundary. Indian fans are happy in the stands
Kyle Jamieson to Virat Kohli, no run - oh got squared up! The front foot was going across the line slightly when he wanted to actually play the flick through wide mid-on. Length delivery nipped away, finished around off stump and troubled Virat there
Kyle Jamieson to Shubman Gill, 1 run - oh inside edge rolls past him and escapes to backward square leg. Jamieson pinned Gill to the crease with this short of length delivery that cut back in off the pitch
Kyle Jamieson to Shubman Gill, no run - fullish and on the stumps, Gill knocks it to mid-on
Kyle Jamieson to Shubman Gill, 5 wides - oh dear! The idea was to target Gill with a big inswinger having bowled a number of outies but he's sprayed this well down the leg-side. Even an acrobatic dive from Tom Latham wasn't good enough.
Kyle Jamieson to Shubman Gill, no run - nipping away outside off stump, but it well wide so Gill doesn't offer a shot
Kyle Jamieson to Shubman Gill, no run - good length delivery just around the off stump, Gill defends
Jacob Duffy to Virat Kohli, no run - Duffy wants Virat to chase at this wide outswinger, Virat ignores
Jacob Duffy to Shubman Gill, 1 run - loud, clear call for a run after clipping this short of length delivery to square leg
Jacob Duffy to Shubman Gill, no run - full and just outside off stump, bit of away swing, Gill drives to mid-off

Kyle Jamieson to Rohit Sharma, out Caught by Mitchell Santner!! In the airrrr - taken at mid-off and Rohit doesn't trouble the scorers. He shakes his head in disppointment and walks off. Fullish delivery moving away outside off stump, Rohit just chipped this in the air. Didn't go through fully with the shot. Was dying on the fielder and Santner did brilliantly well to dive forward and grab it inches from the ground. Should he have played his usually aggressive game than trying to respect the bowler and the conditions? Meanwhile, Virat gets a loud cheer as he runs in. Rohit Sharma c Mitchell Santner b Kyle Jamieson 0(6)

Kyle Jamieson to Rohit Sharma, no run - defended off the back foot this time
Kyle Jamieson to Rohit Sharma, no run - past the outside edge. Surely have to add a second slip after this ball. Lovely outie from short of length, Rohit plays inside the line and misses as it finishes just outside off stump

Gurnoor Brar to Blair Tickner, out Caught by Rahul!! And Gurnoor Brar finds the edge - sticking to his short ball ploy. He runs with his arms aloft in front of the batter and Tickner gives him a lovely smile back. He enjoyed that banter as well. Great sportive spirit between the batter and the bowler. Tickner tried to back away and smash the short ball, top edged it to KL, who jumped to collect that easily to the left. Blair Tickner c Rahul b Gurnoor Brar 34(23) [4s-1 6s-4]
Gurnoor Brar to Blair Tickner, no run - ok, back to digging it into the pitch and the batter missing the ball. Gurnoor teaches Tickner how to connect with the pull shot, Tickner then shows the stumps and tells Gurnoor Brar to aim at them

Gurnoor Brar to Blair Tickner, no run - yikes, smashed on the grille! Short ball, Tickner moved inside the line and looked to play the pick up flick on the on-side. Ball hit the glove and hit the grille. Tickner completes a full circle after that blow before he comes to a stop. But he seems fine. Even sports a smile
Arshdeep Singh to Jacob Duffy, 2 runs - short of length delivery on the stumps, Duffy pulls to deep mid-wicket. 23 off the over and the scoreboard suddenly doesn't tell you how well Arshdeep actually bowled today
Arshdeep Singh to Blair Tickner, 1 run - shortish delivery, Tickner wants to flat-bat it past mid-off but doesn't time it well, Shubman cuts it off

Arshdeep Singh to Blair Tickner, SIX - Arshdeep Singh is adamant on trying the yorker and he's missed the mark thrice, been thrashed thrice in the V down the ground.

Arshdeep Singh to Blair Tickner, SIX - Arshdeep has another crack for a fifer, but if he's going to run in and offer slot balls like these, both batters are going to swing it hard over the ropes. Full and in the slot, front leg out of the way and clears the long-on fence by a long way
Gurnoor Brar to Jacob Duffy, no run - and again. Only connects with thin air. A couple of top edges would have been handy because with these short straight boundaries and at Gurnoor Brar's pace and bounce, it would have easily cleared the fine leg fence
Gurnoor Brar to Jacob Duffy, no run - bumper, Duffy has a wild swing and misses
Gurnoor Brar to Blair Tickner, 1 run - slower delivery, Tickner pushes it through point

Full delivery outside off stump - GP backed himself to clear the infield like Kane did against Cummins in that iconic 2015 WC game here, but the ball hits him quite low on the bat. With that simple catch for Shreyas, Arshdeep gets his fourth wicket. If New Zealand were to post a decent total, GP had to bat through and now it's almost certain that they will finish well below 200. Glenn Phillips c Shreyas Iyer b Arshdeep Singh 30(51) [4s-2 6s-1]

Arshdeep Singh to Jacob Duffy, no run - oh dear, the ball has smashed the helmet and the cushioning on the back of the helmet flies and hits the stumps. But those things are too light for the bails to come off. Immediate concern on the face of the bowler for the batter's health as it hit Duffy almost on the edge of the shell. Was a nice steepler, Duffy thought he could play the pull and connect but that extra bounce has troubled the NZ batters a lot and Duffy couldn't make contact.

Arshdeep Singh to Glenn Phillips, no run - back foot block to mid-off and a clear call of no

Because Kyle Jamieson can hang around and GP was looking for company to swell this total closer to 200. Short of a length delivery from Arshdeep Singh around the off stump - Jamieson pushed at it off the front foot, ball probably didn't come on as expected and Jamieson offered a simple catch to Virat at cover. Eight down and Arshdeep does an interesting celebration. Kyle Jamieson c Virat Kohli b Arshdeep Singh 1(6)

Anshul Kamboj to Glenn Phillips, 2 runs - oh there's a lot of bounce in this pitch and GP is very lucky he didn't hit this to hand. Just hung his bat out as he tried to bail out of the pull very late, the bumper flew off the bat and landed safely at mid-wicket where there is no fielder
Anshul Kamboj to Glenn Phillips, no run - inside edge onto pad, GP thinks about a run but a loud call of "wait, wait" from Jamieson calms things down. Fullish and around the off stump, Phillips wanted to drive through the off-side, ball went to mid-wicket instead

Anshul Kamboj to Nathan Smith, out Caught by Virat Kohli!! Wowza from Virat Kohli. Try stopping me if you can is the celebration from VK as he runs away briefly before tossing the ball back towards the umpire. He feels it's a clean catch. Fingers underneath the ball says the telly umpire. Gone. Kohli is pumped as he does a "told ya" to someone in the huddle. It was full and inviting the drive - Smith fell for the trap and went hard at it. Thick outside edge flies low to the right of second slip where Kohli times his dive to pluck the ball inches above the turf. Must say that is a quality catch from one of India's finest. Kohli also did the "Bow and Arrow" celebration before sticking his tongue out whilst exchanging a cheeky smile with one of his mates. Nathan Smith c Virat Kohli b Anshul Kamboj 1(9)
