Matt Henry to Naman Dhir, SIX - India win by 4 wickets.
Matt Henry to Nitish Reddy, 1 run - poor cricket from everyone. First Henry bowls a juicy full toss and seemed like Reddy had made up his mind to just knock it for a single, so he eases it back and Henry fumbles in his followthrough. The batters decide to nab a quick single and Reddy puts in a dive to make his ground. That ball needed to be put away..
Matt Henry to Naman Dhir, 1 run - back of a length delivery, Dhir jabs it square on the leg-side and wants a second, but rightly decides against it. 3 off 4
Matt Henry to Naman Dhir, FOUR - does that seal the game? Henry goes for the yorker but it is tough with a wet ball, full toss around off and that is easy pickings for Dhir. He does not time the loft as the bottom hand comes off the handle, but he gets enough to clear mid-off and the ball runs away
Adam Milne to Naman Dhir, 1 run - 135ks full and close to yorker length, Dhir drills it to long-off and retains strike. He's disappointed that it was not placed better
Adam Milne to Naman Dhir, 2 runs - yorker outside off, Dhir bends down and squeezes it behind square. The fielder at backward point dives to his right and takes the pace off, allowing Phillips to tidy up in the deep and keep it to a couple. 9 off 7
Adam Milne to Naman Dhir, FOUR - shot! Dhir looks so calm under pressure. Yes, this was a full toss but Dhir did not get overexcited, just waits for the ball to arrive and drives it in front of square, bisecting extra cover and mid-off perfectly. 11 off 8
Adam Milne to Nitish Reddy, 1 run - full toss at the stumps, Reddy swings without any timing and calls for two, but the deep mid-wicket fielder keeps it to a single
Adam Milne to Nitish Reddy, no run - wow! That's a brilliant yorker. Aimed for the base of the stumps and all Reddy can do is jam it back to Milne. That was heading towards the stumps and Reddy did well to get his bat down in time
Adam Milne to Shreyas Iyer, out Caught by Mitchell Santner!! There's the wicket. No mistake by Santner this time. This is a massive wicket as it is the skipper who is walking back. He should have seen this chase through. Good length ball outside off - there was width on offer and Iyer does not keep the slap down, hits it towards extra cover and Santner comes in, bends down and takes it low to the ground. Shreyas Iyer c Mitchell Santner b Adam Milne 42(28) [4s-1 6s-2]
Nathan Smith to Naman Dhir, FOUR - dropped! Fair to say New Zealand haven't been at their best in the field. This should have been taken. Full pitcher, Dhir throws his hands on the drive and the outside-edge flies to short third. Lockie does not time his leap as he tries to take it over his head, but the ball hits his fingertips and runs away to the fence
Nathan Smith to Naman Dhir, FOUR - just over short fine. Banged into the pitch and the ball was bouncing over Dhir's head, but he takes it on and the top-edge balloons towards short fine, clears Henry and races away
Nathan Smith to Shreyas Iyer, 1 run - high full toss, just below the waist and Iyer punches it down the ground. He calls for two but slips while completing the first run, settles with a single. There's dew around and Santner too could not collect the ball cleanly
Nathan Smith to Naman Dhir, 1 run - 117ks another off-pace delivery, Dhir is cramped but manages to get the pull away to deep square leg
Nathan Smith to Shreyas Iyer, 1 run - 139ks hard length from Smith. The line is outside off and Iyer shuffles across, knocks it past Smith and rotates strike
Nathan Smith to Shreyas Iyer, 2 runs - 113ks slower ball bowled into the wicket, Iyer moves away and lifts it over mid-wicket. He called for two immediately and Dhir comes back comfortably
Mitchell Santner to Shreyas Iyer, 1 run - flatter delivery around off, Iyer drives to long-off and retains strike
Mitchell Santner to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR - superb placement! There's a short third, backward point and cover-point in place. Very close to each other and Iyer has split them with precision. Fraction short and around off, Iyer waits and cuts it square, bisecting backward point and cover-point expertly
Mitchell Santner to Naman Dhir, 1 run - floated up outside off, Dhir reaches and lofts it over extra cover, just a single
Mitchell Santner to Naman Dhir, FOUR - a six followed by a four. Good start to the over. Santner goes short and outside off, Dhir cuts it behind square and the sweeper runs to his left, dives and flicks the ball in play. But Phillips knew he was in contact with the rope, signalled four before the umpire could send it upstairs
Mitchell Santner to Naman Dhir, SIX - what an effort! Smith almost pulled off a blinder. This is bowled quicker and into the wicket, Dhir sits down and slog sweeps towards cow corner. Smith runs to his left and leaps while on the move, he takes the catch over his head but the momentum takes him over the rope. Could have tried the parry to his mate coming in from long-on? He was at full tilt and would have needed great skill to execute that
Mitchell Santner to Naman Dhir, wide - throws it up outside off, Dhir lets it pass and picks up the
Mitchell Santner to Naman Dhir, 2 runs - flatter and not quite in the hitting range, Dhir lifts it over extra cover and comes back for the second
Nathan Smith to Shreyas Iyer, no run - what a ball! Smith couldn't have bowled a better delivery. Pinpoint yorker, aimed for the base of leg-stump and Iyer can't do much about it, he's late in bringing his bat down and the ball sneaks under it to crash into leg-stump. That's an excellent over.. Just 7 runs
Nathan Smith to Shreyas Iyer, no ball - ouch! That's a beamer. There is dew and that's why the ball might have slipped out of Smith's hand. Iyer was taken by surprise and didn't have time to get out of the way. The ball hits him on the gloves and rolls to short fine. He goes down and is not even bothered about the single. Iyer is fine and will face the free-hit delivery..
Nathan Smith to Shreyas Iyer, no run - 138ks full delivery around leg, Iyer makes room and creams it straight to extra cover
Nathan Smith to Shreyas Iyer, 2 runs - 118ks off-pace delivery bowled into the wicket, Iyer rolls his wrists over and pulls in front of square, couple more
Nathan Smith to Naman Dhir, 1 run - 136ks fuller and outside off, Dhir sees the width and throws his hands on the drive, slices it off the outer half to third man
Nathan Smith to Shreyas Iyer, 1 run - fullish delivery around off, Iyer goes hard on the drive and squirts an inside-edge backward of square
Nathan Smith to Shreyas Iyer, 2 runs - full and angling in, Iyer flicks it in front of square and Dhir calls for the second, the duo get it with ease
Lockie Ferguson to Shreyas Iyer, 1 run - dropped! This is a big moment in the game. Ferguson would have sent back both set batters in the same over. This is short and banged into the pitch, Iyer hops across and tries to pull it in front of square, hits it a lot straighter than he would have liked. Allen charges in, slides and gets both hands but the ball does not stick. He stuttered for a second when he was running in and that's what caused him. Ferguson can't believe it and is on his haunches
Lockie Ferguson to Shreyas Iyer, 2 runs - short of length close to off, Iyer under-edges the dab and the ball rolls to third man. He called for two and raced back to make it in comfortably
Lockie Ferguson to Naman Dhir, 1 run - back of a length around off, Dhir stands tall and punches to sweeper cover
Lockie Ferguson to Axar Patel, out Caught by (sub)Devon Conway!! Ferguson breaks the partnership. Just when it seemed India are ahead with a couple of big overs - Ferguson bowls a couple of dots and picks up the wicket of Axar. This is the hard length, following a backing away Axar and cramping him for room, the ball hits the sticker on the bat and lobs to short mid-wicket, where Conway bends down and takes it inches above the ground. Axar was looking to lift it over mid-wicket but could not get under the length. Axar Patel c (sub)Devon Conway b Lockie Ferguson 24(14) [4s-3 6s-1]
Lockie Ferguson to Axar Patel, no run - appeal for caught behind. Ferguson was more interested than the others. Mitchell is the stand-in skipper and he decides against the review. Back of a length and angled across, Axar makes room and attempts the steer to third man, misses and the ball was close to the outside-edge. Seifert wasn't confident and that's why New Zealand don't review
Lockie Ferguson to Axar Patel, wide - sprays it down leg, Axar stays inside the line and does not connect with the glance, given
Lockie Ferguson to Axar Patel, no run - fuller and angled across, Axar pushes it straight to cover
Matt Henry to Shreyas Iyer, SIX - 20 from the over. The momentum shifts again. This is a fine shot by Iyer. Once again the batter premeditated the length, shuffled across and hopped on one leg to play the pick-up shot, got it off the middle and the ball sailed over deep backward square
Matt Henry to Axar Patel, 1 run - tough to call that a chance. Fullish delivery close to off, Axar goes full-throttle on the drive, does not keep it down and hits it straight back. Henry stretches his right hand out and the ball does not stick. The ball almost deflects onto the stumps, with Iyer backing up. That would have been unfortunate
Matt Henry to Axar Patel, FOUR - nicely done! This is smart batting. Axar knew that Henry was going to bowl the hard length and angle it away, so he shuffles across and laps it wide of short fine. Runs starting to flow again for India..
Matt Henry to Shreyas Iyer, 1 run - aiming for the top of off, Iyer knocks it in front of long-on and calls for two, but Santner swoops down and keeps it to a single
Matt Henry to Shreyas Iyer, 2 runs - back of a length delivery, Iyer tucks it into the vacant mid-wicket pocket and races back for the second
Matt Henry to Shreyas Iyer, SIX - now Iyer joins in. This is a fabulous shot! Touch fuller than Henry would have liked, Iyer does not overhit the lofted drive, presents the full face of the bat and lofts it over mid-off. The fielder was inside the rung and hence it was a safe shot. The ball has enough to land just beyond the rope
Lockie Ferguson to Axar Patel, FOUR - once again Axar ends the over with a boundary. He's keeping that asking rate in check. Short and outside off, there was ample width on offer and Axar does the smart thing of slapping it in front of square. The sweeper runs to his left but the ball beats him to the fence
Lockie Ferguson to Axar Patel, 2 runs - tough chance and Santner can't hold on. You usually expect those to be taken by the New Zealand captain. Full and slanted across, Axar reaches for the lofted drive and toe-ends it over mid-off. Santner backtracks and tries to take it over his head, but the ball escapes past his grasp and he lands awkwardly on his head. A couple of his team mates check on him before the physio comes out. He looks a bit flustered but will continue..
Lockie Ferguson to Axar Patel, no run - 137ks short of length angled across, Axar shimmies down and looks to flay it through the off-side, bit the extra bounce and angle take it past the top-edge
Lockie Ferguson to Axar Patel, no run - 136ks targets the body and cramps him up, Axar defends to mid-wicket
Lockie Ferguson to Shreyas Iyer, 1 run - 135ks back of a length delivery, Iyer punches wide of cover and crosses over
Lockie Ferguson to Shreyas Iyer, no run - 134ks full pitcher around off, Iyer pushes it back and Ferguson makes a fine stop in his followthrough
Michael Bracewell to Axar Patel, SIX - Axar is getting the boundaries for India. He finished the previous over with a four, now ends Bracewell's fine spell with a maximum. This was full and in the slot, Axar gets under it and slams it down the ground. He struck that flat and all the way..
Michael Bracewell to Shreyas Iyer, 1 run - 93ks leg-lined delivery, Iyer clips it backward of square
Michael Bracewell to Axar Patel, 1 run - 91ks sliding in, Axar comes down the track and drags it off the inner half to mid-wicket
Michael Bracewell to Shreyas Iyer, 1 run - 92ks fuller and at the stumps, Iyer pushes it uppishly and manages to evade the mid-wicket fielder
Michael Bracewell to Axar Patel, 1 run - 89ks slower and drifting in, Axar tucks it square on the leg-side
Michael Bracewell to Shreyas Iyer, 1 run - drifting down leg, Iyer pulls to short fine and Axar calls for a quick single
Mitchell Santner to Axar Patel, FOUR - "22 balls since the last boundary," informs Simon Doull. Much needed boundary for India. Just releases some pressure. Fired full around off, Axar moves across and swipes it in front of square. Right between deep mid-wicket and deep square leg. Even an acrobatic dive from GP is not enough to stop the boundary
Mitchell Santner to Shreyas Iyer, 1 run - flighted close to off, Iyer drives it down to long-off
Mitchell Santner to Axar Patel, 1 run - fuller and at the stumps, Axar works it through the mid-wicket pocket
Mitchell Santner to Ishan Kishan, out Caught by Finn Allen!! "You are not in Bengaluru now," quips Simon Doull on air. These are big boundaries at the Hagley Oval - and Ishan perishes trying to clear them. India have gone from 93/0 to 122/4. The momentum has shifted in New Zealand's pair. Santner smartly tosses it up around off, Ishan can't hold himself back and sits down to play the slog sweep, gets more height than distance, Allen runs to his left at long-on, slides and takes a fine catch. Ishan Kishan c Finn Allen b Mitchell Santner 1(3)
Mitchell Santner to Shreyas Iyer, 1 run - 93ks flatter and sliding in, Iyer knocks it to sweeper cover
Mitchell Santner to Shreyas Iyer, 2 runs - 89ks slower around off, Iyer moves across and laps it over Seifert. Not off the middle and that's why only a couple

Michael Bracewell to Ishan Kishan, 1 run - fraction short and drifting in, Ishan pulls to deep square leg and gets off the mark
Michael Bracewell to Ishan Kishan, no run - flighted on off and middle, Ishan presses forward and defends it back
Michael Bracewell to Tilak Varma, out Caught by Lockie Ferguson!! Tilak's woes come to an end. Why was he sent up the order? Unless it was an injury to Ishan - the ploy completely backfired for India. His 11-ball 6 not only put the brakes on India's innings, but also put the pressure on the other batters. Bracewell was smart - he knew that Tilak was looking for a release shot and saw him shimmy down, slowed it up and dragged the length short, Tilak went through with the loft and got a thick inside-edge towards deep mid-wicket. Lockie settles under and completes an easy catch. Tilak Varma c Lockie Ferguson b Michael Bracewell 6(11)
Michael Bracewell to Shreyas Iyer, 1 run - flatter and short of length, Iyer punches it uppishly to long-on
Michael Bracewell to Tilak Varma, 1 run - Tilak is feeling the pressure. He attempts the reverse sweep, tries to fetch it from leg-stump and gets a small top-edge onto the helmet, the ball rolls to short fine and Iyer calls him across. A quick concussion test is conducted and Tilak is fine..
Mitchell Santner to Sanju Samson, out Bowled!! Dragged on! There's the wicket New Zealand were after. The squeeze was on and Samson's eyes lit up on seeing this short of length delivery - he looks to cut but the ball does not come on, the under-edge brushes the off-stump and lights up the stumps. A fine knock from the keeper-batter comes to an end. He has given India a solid platform in the run-chase. Sanju Samson b Mitchell Santner 67(33) [4s-8 6s-4]
Mitchell Santner to Sanju Samson, 2 runs - quicker and fuller, Samson does not go hard on the drive, just eases it in front of square past cover and scampers back for the second
Mitchell Santner to Tilak Varma, 1 run - 95ks flatter and attacking the stumps, Tilak nurdles it backward of square and calls for two, has to settle with a single

Mitchell Santner to Sanju Samson, 1 run - flatter and fuller, Samson eases it to long-off and retains strike
Mitchell Santner to Sanju Samson, FOUR - just over backward point. This time there was width on offer and Samson reaches for the cut, he opens the bat face to slice it in the air and manages to clear the leaping fielder. 100 up for India..
Mitchell Santner to Sanju Samson, 2 runs - 96ks shortens the length, Samson gets on top of the bounce and cracks it past a diving cover, easy brace
Mitchell Santner to Sanju Samson, no run - 93ks quicker and fuller, Samson pushes it firmly to cover
Mitchell Santner to Sanju Samson, no run - excellent work by Santner. 91ks sliding in and Samson works it to the right of the bowler. Santner moves across and dives to stop the single. Samson had to rush back in..
Mitchell Santner to Tilak Varma, 1 run - 90ks drifting into the pads, Tilak works it backward of square
Michael Bracewell to Tilak Varma, 1 run - tossed up and sliding into the left-hander, nudged through mid-wicket for a single
Michael Bracewell to Abhishek Sharma, out Caught by Adam Milne!! The off-break to the left-hander works a charm for New Zealand - Abhishek is unhappy with himself and drags himself back to the pavilion. Was tossed up slower and just outside off - Abhishek backed away on the inside out drive over cover - but he made far too much room for himself, has to reach out in the end and slices a thick outside edge, into the hands of short third where Milne completes a simple reverse-cupped catch. Abhishek Sharma c Adam Milne b Michael Bracewell 29(12) [4s-2 6s-3]

Matt Henry to Abhishek Sharma, 2 runs - fuller length delivery at the stumps - Abhishek leans forward, presents the full face of the bat and lifts it back over the bowler's head. Too much height though and not a lot in terms of distance, the ball plugged well in front of the ropes and they're back for the second
Matt Henry to Abhishek Sharma, no run - fuller length delivery outside off - Abhishek's feet hardly moved as he picked out cover with the drive
Matt Henry to Abhishek Sharma, wide - banged in short and at the left-hander - sails high over Abhishek's reach and has been called as a

Matt Henry to Sanju Samson, SIX - a top-edge and the ball has sailed over the ropes for a maximum - back of a length and at the stumps, Samson makes room on the pull, didn't get hold of the shot, high and back over the bowler's head.

Adam Milne to Abhishek Sharma, SIX - massive, banged in short and just outside off - Abhishek picks the length early once again, swivels onto the front-foot and then smashes it high and over mid-wicket. Another expensive over from Milne - 26 came off it

Adam Milne to Abhishek Sharma, no run - short of a good length and slanting across the left-hander - Abhishek plays away from his body at that and misses it completely
Adam Milne to Abhishek Sharma, 5 wides - more wides, this isn't a great start from the home bowlers - full and pushed down leg, past Abhishek's flick and Tim Seifert has no chance once again
Adam Milne to Abhishek Sharma, FOUR - edged and four, slip had been taken out and this would've gone straight at him - length ball that's pushed across the left-hander, Abhishek threw himself into the drive and got a thick outside edge, flying past the keeper who was moving to his left
