Jacob Duffy to Nitish Reddy, 2 runs - to deep square leg

Jacob Duffy to Nitish Reddy, wide - another bumper, goes past the attempted ramp, beating Reddy for pace but hang on ... the striker's end umpire feels it's too high. He spreads his arms to signal a . 2 needed off 2 - Duffy shakes his head as he walks back

Jacob Duffy to Tilak Varma, 1 run - again he goes short outside off, Tilak doesn't get hold of it, cuts it in the air but it lands short of sweeper cover. Over to Reddy

Jacob Duffy to Tilak Varma, 2 runs - banged in short outside off, rushes Tilak on the pull and he mistimes it down to long-on.

Fifty up for him, job not done though

Jacob Duffy to Tilak Varma, FOUR - full and wide, misses with his execution and Tilak absolutely blasts it away through extra cover. Might've been going for the wide yorker but ended up offering it right in the slot

Jacob Duffy to Nitish Reddy, 1 run - banged in short, Reddy pulls hard but it goes straight to deep midwicket on the bounce

Nathan Smith to Tilak Varma, SIX - the Indian players are on their feet in the dugout! They know all about what Tilak Varma can do and are watching another fine display from the left-hander here. Nerves of steel this guy. Slower length ball angled away wide of off, he hangs back, reaches out and hoists it over wide long-off for a remarkable six

Nathan Smith to Tilak Varma, no run - comes charging down the pitch but ends up getting yorked by Smith who slants it away and beats him on the way to the keeper

Nathan Smith to Tilak Varma, FOUR - short ball, Tilak swivels across, pulls it behind square and there's no one in the deep to cut it off. What a turnaround this is - just 17 needed now off 8 balls. Slipping away from New Zealand at the death

Nathan Smith to Tilak Varma, no run - some respite for the hosts as Smith sneaks in a dot. Slower bouncer wide of off, he reaches out to cut but misses

Nathan Smith to Tilak Varma, FOUR - that's not where he intended the ball to go at all, but India aren't complaning! Problems for New Zealand here! Attempted yorker at the stumps, Tilak goes down for a premeditated scoop, gets a thick edge and instead of going over short fine, it goes over short third

Jacob Duffy to Tilak Varma, 1 run - slower short ball just outside off, and it's a scorching pull shot from Tilak. Unfortunately for him, it's straight to deep midwicket, on the bounce

Jacob Duffy to Tilak Varma, FOUR - proving to be a very costly over. Loose delivery - a full toss outside off and it's belted away wide of mid-off where Santner's diving effort is in vain

Jacob Duffy to Tilak Varma, no run - oh well bowled. Nails the wide yorker this time and there's nothing Tilak can do about it. He swings and misses!

Jacob Duffy to Tilak Varma, wide - way too outside off with this attempted yorker, it almost landed outside the pitch, Tilak lets it go

Jacob Duffy to Tilak Varma, FOUR - now Tilak's turn to find the boundary as the Indian fans find their voice again. Equation down to 35 of 15. Slower one slanted away wide of off, he steps across the stumps, goes deep in the crease and pulls wide of long-on

Jacob Duffy to Nitish Reddy, 1 run - he groans in frustration. Wanted to do a lot more with this short ball than pulling it to deep midwicket for a single

Jacob Duffy to Nitish Reddy, SIX - India still not out of it. Lively punch of the gloves between Reddy and Tilak as the former launches this down the ground for six. It's a slower one floated up in the slot, he hangs back in the crease and whacks it over mid-off

Lockie Ferguson to Tilak Varma, 2 runs - another very awkward-looking shot as Ferguson bangs it in halfway down the pitch. It's a short ball angling away from off, Tilak is in no position to pull but somehow makes contact and gets it into the gap at midwicket

Lockie Ferguson to Tilak Varma, 2 runs - miscued in the air off the toe-end, the fielder gets around in the deep but it lands wide of him. Tilak early through the slog with Ferguson hitting a good length at 140kph. Could only drag it wide of deep midwicket

Lockie Ferguson to Nitish Reddy, 1 run - bashed in on a short of length, Reddy rides the bounce and dabs down to third man. Oh he wants the second run which is just not on. Came almost halfway down before having to turn back with Tilak not interested. Throw comes in to the keeper who makes a direct hit at the bowler's end but the dive saves Reddy. Both Reddy and Tilak are conversing in Telugu now. Tilak was heard saying "Nenu mundu vachina, malla ninnu chusi venakaochina" (I thought of coming for the second, but I turned back on seeing you - perhaps Nitish was late to complete the single between the two as Tilak was early to get off the blocks running towards the striker's end).

Nathan Smith to Nitish Reddy, 1 run - short ball, pulled away through square leg

Nathan Smith to Nitish Reddy, 2 runs - slower dipping full toss, Reddy is deceived initially but he does well to adjust. He reaches out in front of the body and swipes it through the on-side

Nathan Smith to Nitish Reddy, 2 runs - Santner's over-enthusiasm costs his team a run. Good length on off, it's punched down to long-on but he comes charging across from mid-off trying to make a sliding stop. Ends up misfielding and conceding the extra run

Mitchell Santner to Naman Dhir, out Caught by Glenn Phillips!! This is just top bowling from Santner and Dhir lets out a big groan in frustration as he couldn't stop himself from going for the big shot. Again that teasing flight on a wide line outside off at 75kph. Dhir did well to not go chasing after one such delivery earlier in the over - but he takes the bait this time. Tries lofting inside-out but miscues it straight to extra cover. Was the last over from the New Zealand captain - surely he could've seen him off. But no, not to be and India sink further. Naman Dhir c Glenn Phillips b Mitchell Santner 31(17) [4s-1 6s-3]

Michael Bracewell to Naman Dhir, FOUR - shimmies down, the length is on the shorter side, not what he's looking for but he still manages to adjust beautifully. His wrists come to the rescue as he whips it over midwicket. Four more!

Michael Bracewell to Tilak Varma, 1 run - floated up in the slot, driven to long-off

Mitchell Santner to Naman Dhir, SIX - he's picked the bones out of that! Oh Bevon Jacobs, don't get anywhere near Santner now. Dropped a sitter earlier - how costly would it be? Floated up at the stumps, in the zone for a step-hit and Naman Dhir launches it over the sightscreen

Mitchell Santner to Naman Dhir, no run - pushed to backward point, along the ground this time

Lockie Ferguson to Tilak Varma, no ball - 2 runs, full and wide, he reaches out and carves it through point. Looks like he has overstepped. Replay shows that it's tight but definitely nothing behind the line there. Free hit to follow

It's lofted down the ground after stepping out - seems to be clearing the ropes but Allen intervenes, running across from long-on to take the catch before flicking it back to a converging fielder before going over the ropes.

Mitchell Santner to Abhishek Sharma, out Caught by Nathan Smith!! That's been hit into the wind - and he has holed out at deep midwicket. Needed a good hit on that side with the wind against him. Was probably the longer part of the ground too. But he couldn't quite get it off the middle, and Smith does well, keeping his cool with the rope behind him and hanging onto it. Was fired in full on the pads at 90kph, he cleared the front leg for a big slog, but couldn't get the desired result. India in trouble here.

Another hard length delivery - it's angled across off and Sooryavanshi gets it nowhere close to the middle as he goes for a booming drive.
