Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Glenn Phillips, FOUR - a nice cheeky late dab to the third man fence to finish the game. New Zealand win by 7 wickets and it ends 3-2 in favour of India. Was short from Bhuvi and Phillips used the pace on offer to place it in the gap between short third and backward point

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Glenn Phillips, 2 runs - the record of most runs in a bilateral T20I series now belongs to Glenn Phillips - 332 and counting. He fetches the short ball from outside off and drags the pull to the right of deep square. A fumble from Abhishek enables a second run

Arshdeep Singh to Glenn Phillips, SIX - smash-me please - that's what the ball had said and Phillips obliged. Short ball 133ks at the hip, Phillips swivels and hooks it over fine leg with supreme ease

Nitish Reddy to Tim Seifert, out Bowled!! No hundred on his home ground for Tim Seifert. Short and wide at 127ks - was there to be hit but Seifert only managed a thick inside edge on the slog that went onto hit the base of leg stump. He took a moment to realize that the bails had come off while Nitish had no interesting in celebrating the wicket. The New Zealand dressing room stands in disbelief as well. Tim Seifert b Nitish Reddy 93(50) [4s-11 6s-5]

Nitish Reddy to Tim Seifert, FOUR - lovely timing and placement from Tim Seifert. "What power he has on the off-side" says Scott Styris on air. Full and just outside off, Seifert uses the bottom hand power to nail the drive all along the ground in the gap through extra cover

Nitish Reddy to Glenn Phillips, 1 run - digs it short at 128ks outside off, gets big on the swivelling Phillips who top-edges the pull to the right of deep square

Varun Chakaravarthy to Glenn Phillips, 1 run - kneels down and sweeps the googly to the right of Nitish at fine leg

Varun Chakaravarthy to Glenn Phillips, no run - was that a wide? No says the umpire. Quicker and drifting away wide of off, Phillips assumed it to be a wide and left it alone. Not to be. Fine margins...

Varun Chakaravarthy to Glenn Phillips, no run - short and just outside off, Phillips mistimes the punch to the left of mid-on

Varun Chakaravarthy to Glenn Phillips, SIX - they are in a hurry here are New Zealand. Back of the hand full delivery from Varun, Phillips thumps it inside out over extra cover for a 93-metre maximum

Varun Chakaravarthy to Glenn Phillips, no run - dropped. Varun pulls the length back and keeps it wide of off stump, Phillips went for a smashing cut and got a thick outside edge that Samson couldn't cling on. Straight in and straight out...

Varun Chakaravarthy to Glenn Phillips, SIX - cakewalk it will be says Glenn Phillips as he launches Varun Chakaravarthy over long-on. Either too full or too short from Varun today. This one's in the fuller zone and Phillips got under it before lifting it for a maximum

Prince Yadav to Tim Seifert, FOUR - full ball aiming for the sticks at 130ks, Seifert slogs leg-side and gets a thick inside edge that runs away to the fine leg fence. Everything going New Zealand's way so far and from hereon, it should be a cakewalk you'd feel

Prince Yadav to Tim Seifert, FOUR - dew playing a part? 130ks full ball outside off, Seifert plants his back leg deep inside the crease and biffs the drive towards extra cover where Nitish fumbles on the dive to concede a boundary. Should have been a single at best, but not to be...

Prince Yadav to Glenn Phillips, 1 run - full ball angling into the stumps, whipped away off the thick inside half to the right of deep mid-wicket

Prince Yadav to Tim Seifert, 1 run - follows the backing away batter and bowls it on a fullish length around off, Seifert slices the drive to the left of sweeper cover

Prince Yadav to Glenn Phillips, 1 run - very harsh to call that as a drop. 128ks full delivery on off stump, Phillips drilled it straight and ended up smashing the right thumb before deflecting towards mid-off. He tried to clasp it with both hands, but the ball arrived much quicker than expected. The physio is out trying to numb the pain with a hot pack, and some thumb stretching exercises as well. Good to see Phillips walk up towards Prince to check on him. Gives him a pat on the left hand as well...

Prince Yadav to Tim Seifert, 1 run - full ball aiming for off at 126ks, Seifert squeezes the drive to long-off

Varun Chakaravarthy to Glenn Phillips, FOUR - Varun folds his hands and tries his best not to express any emotions. Been that kinda over.

Varun Chakaravarthy to Tim Seifert, 1 run - short and just outside off, pulled away to the left of deep mid-wicket

Varun Chakaravarthy to Tim Seifert, FOUR - misfield! Ishan Kishan overruns to his right at deep extra cover. It was short from Varun and Seifert had slapped it flat to the right of sweeper cover. Ishan did everything right, but couldn't control his momentum at the last moment

Varun Chakaravarthy to Glenn Phillips, 1 run - past the leg stump. Quicker and just outside off, Phillips looks to force it through the off-side and the edge skims past the stumps before rolling towards short fine

Varun Chakaravarthy to Glenn Phillips, FOUR - it's raining boundaries at Seddon Park. Once again short and quick just outside off, Phillips has enough time on the back foot to slog it away to the deep mid-wicket fence

Arshdeep Singh to Tim Seifert, FOUR - make that two in a row now! 133ks very wide of off stump, Seifert sinks low and carves this up and over backward point, beating the fielder in the deep to his left. 11 off the over.

Arshdeep Singh to Tim Seifert, FOUR - this time Seifert does not miss out. Too full and well wide. The plan was to force Seifert hit through the off-side or drag them to leg, but the keeper bat was up fort it. He watched the ball closely, stopped to one knee and sliced it away wide of deep backward point to his left

Arshdeep Singh to Glenn Phillips, 1 run - bangs it short on the stumps at 136ks, Phillips controls the pull to the right of deep square

Abhishek Sharma to Tim Seifert, no run - clipped away to the right of short fine and finally we have a dot ball

Abhishek Sharma to Glenn Phillips, FOUR - that's a hit me from Abhishek. Short and angling down leg, Phillips says thank you and thrashes it away to the fine leg fence with a pull

Nitish Reddy to Tim Seifert, FOUR - done in by the slower ball, but he still picks up a boundary! It's a slower short ball, Seifert is early through the pull, realises his folly and just about checks the shot well enough to get it behind square, beating fine leg to his left

Nitish Reddy to Glenn Phillips, 1 run - close to the blockhole around off, Phillips squeezes it down to long-off

Nitish Reddy to Glenn Phillips, no run - 132kph, good length on middle, he looks to work through the on-side but gets a leading edge to backward point. Might've straightened a touch

Nitish Reddy to Tim Seifert, 1 run - nicely on top of the bounce as he punches from the crease to deep point

Varun Chakaravarthy to Glenn Phillips, 1 run - another googly darted in on back of a length, cramps Phillips for room and he punches through cover

Varun Chakaravarthy to Glenn Phillips, no run - struck on the pad first ball, might've been the googly from Chakaravarthy which zipped through off the pitch, but it's missing leg

Varun Chakaravarthy to Daryl Mitchell, out Caught by Abhishek Sharma!! Abhishek claims the catch and his teammates run towards him to celebrate. Umpires will have another look though. Seemed to be dying on him at long-off - but he did so well plunge forward, grabbing it with both hands and then keeping fingers under the ball the whole way through. Was full in the slot from Chakaravarthy, just that Mitchell couldn't get hold of it. Daryl Mitchell c Abhishek Sharma b Varun Chakaravarthy 29(16) [6s-4]

Varun Chakaravarthy to Tim Seifert, 1 run - wide leg-break outside off, Seifert falls to the floor in reaching out and slices it over point. Just a single to the deep

Prince Yadav to Daryl Mitchell, 1 run - full toss on middle and leg, punched down to long-on

Prince Yadav to Daryl Mitchell, SIX - that's gone like a rocket over the ropes! Dug in on a short of length, it's around the chest and Mitchell couldn't have hit that pull shot any better. No great pace from Prince either - 136kph - won't trouble him at that pace and that height

Prince Yadav to Daryl Mitchell, leg byes - 1 run, low full toss down leg, Mitchell misses the flick and is hit on the pad

Prince Yadav to Tim Seifert, 1 run - full delivery speared in on leg, he clears the front leg and swipes it to deep midwicket

Varun Chakaravarthy to Daryl Mitchell, no run - almost a celebrappeal from Varun but that is nowhere close to being out. Impact outside off as Mitchell looks to defend this googly from the crease, and probably bouncing over the stumps too

Varun Chakaravarthy to Daryl Mitchell, SIX - fired in at 105kph, hard to use the feet against that kind of pace but Mitchell still advances and flicks it so beautifully over long-on. It was on the pads, not giving him much swinging room, so he relied on the timing instead

Varun Chakaravarthy to Tim Seifert, 1 run - legbreak now, it's good length on middle, turns away, Seifert goes back and works it down to long-on

Varun Chakaravarthy to Daryl Mitchell, 1 run - huge shout for LBW but Mitchell is very far down the pitch. Oh they've gone for the review. Scrambled seam googly on off, he advances, looks to flick it away but is hit on the pad. Sonic confirms there's an inside edge involved. Wasn't a great review in any case with Mitchell so far down. Impact seemed to be marginal too

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Tim Seifert, FOUR - 131kph, full and wide, another attempted wide yorker that hasn't been perfectly executed, it's short of the blockhole and Seifert slices it over short third

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Tim Seifert, no run - tries a wide yorker, Seifert loses balance as he reaches out, takes it on the full and mistimes the drive to cover. Would've been a wide had he left it alone

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Tim Seifert, SIX - proper slot ball, just what Seifert is looking for and he hammers it down the ground with a fierce swing of the bat. Phew that was asking for trouble from Bhuvneshwar

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Tim Seifert, FOUR - not perfectly timed but he gets it over the infield! Slower one following him as he backs away down leg, the weight is leaning back and he somehow hoists it over extra cover

Prince Yadav to Daryl Mitchell, SIX - goes much straighter this time with the pull shot and muscles it over long-on! Prince welcomed with a couple of sixes by Mitchell who pounces on deliveries that aren't that bad. Another hard length delivery into the pitch, he takes it on and almost flat-bats it. Brilliant catch from a turban-clad gentleman in the crowd!

Prince Yadav to Daryl Mitchell, SIX - don't think this is all that short but Mitchell has still managed to nail the pull for six! Yes, replay confirms it didn't even bounce above the waist from back of a length. He still manages to hit it flat and hard over midwicket

Arshdeep Singh to Tim Seifert, no run - full and quite wide outside off, Seifert tries reaching out, even falls to the floor, but fails to make contact. Was a close call for a wide but the ump rules in favour of the bowler

Arshdeep Singh to Tim Seifert, SIX - oh that's a top shot! Hard length across off, and to hit that with a straight bat down the ground, that too for six, needs a lot of skill. Will that spark him to life?

Arshdeep Singh to Daryl Mitchell, 1 run - pitched up outside off, right in the slot and Mitchell smokes it to mid-off who fumbles

Arshdeep Singh to Tim Seifert, 1 run - India returning the favour as Dhir puts down a simple catch! Arshdeep should've had Seifert for the third time in this series.

Arshdeep Singh to Tim Seifert, no run - walks across for a premeditated scoop and misses completely as it bounces over the stumps from back of a length

Arshdeep Singh to Tim Seifert, 2 runs - you can see he's battling for rhythm. Back of a length on middle, he makes room and cuts through point. Not much timing on it though and the fielder in the deep is able to cut it off

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Tim Seifert, 1 run - good length around off, Seifert punches on the up to extra cover

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Tim Seifert, no run - cramped for room as he goes for the cut shot, the line was on off stump and he was looking to manufacture something. Ends up chopping it back down the pitch

Arshdeep Singh to Daryl Mitchell, no run - review for caught behind! Wobble-seam delivery floated up outside off, Mitchell looks to launch down the ground but it nips away and goes past the edge. Nothing on UltraEdge there, and Samson wasn't interested either. But a couple of fielders from square of the wicket heard a noise

Arshdeep Singh to Daryl Mitchell, no run - some width outside off, Mitchell looks to cut and mistimes it to cover

Arshdeep Singh to Daryl Mitchell, wide - down the leg-side, Mitchell misses out

Arshdeep Singh to Finn Allen, out Caught by Ishan Kishan!! Milne spoke about variable bounce which contributed to some Indian batters splicing the ball. And this is what has happened here with Allen. Bashed in on a short of length - some uneven bounce perhaps, kicks up on him and he splices the attempted pull. It goes high and Kishan takes it nicely as he moves across from midwicket. Oh the replay shows that the ball had popped out as his hands as he was falling down, but he was somehow able to press it against the torso with the elbow. Finn Allen c Ishan Kishan b Arshdeep Singh 2(3)

Arshdeep Singh to Tim Seifert, 1 run - away-swinger across off, short of length, Seifert rides the bounce and taps it gently in front of cover-point

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Tim Seifert, no run - some width outside off, slapped to cover-point

Length ball and tailing into leg-stump - Bhuvneshwar Kumar backs away to whip it, off the thick inner half and Mitchell runs in and slides to take it with both hands at long-on. Judged it well. Bhuvneshwar Kumar c Daryl Mitchell b Adam Milne 6(4) [4s-1]

Adam Milne to Nitish Reddy, out Caught by Glenn Phillips!! Easy catch for deep mid-wicket. Full and right up there on the pads - Nitish Kumar Reddy is deep in his crease, flicks and doesn't get under it. He lost balance after he hit that. The timing is not there and Phillips has an easy grab. Nitish Reddy c Glenn Phillips b Adam Milne 22(17) [4s-2 6s-1]

Adam Milne to Bhuvneshwar Kumar, 1 run - length delivery on middle-stump, Bhuvneshwar Kumar makes room to loft to deep point. Gives the strike back to Nitish Kumar Reddy

Blair Tickner to Bhuvneshwar Kumar, 1 run - short of length outside off, Bhuvneshwar Kumar goes on the back foot and opens the face of the bat to guide it down to third man

Blair Tickner to Naman Dhir, out Caught by Michael Bracewell!! This time it's taken. Good catch by extra-cover running back. Bracewell with two hands as he dives forward to take it. Tumbles to ground after that. Blair Tickner celebrates by taking a card out which has a fire icon on it. The knuckle-ball and full outside off - Naman Dhir gets forward to loft, the bat turns and it's sliced off a thick outer half. Good catch and Tickner is pumped.

Blair Tickner to Naman Dhir, SIX - just over the knee this low full-toss, on middle-stump, Naman Dhir helps it away. The fat top-edge flying over fine-leg and some 15 rows back. Naman was flicking that and used the pace of Blair Tickner to great effect

Blair Tickner to Nitish Reddy, 1 run - slower-ball and full outside off, Nitish Kumar Reddy gets forward to loft, right off the bottom of the bat and Mitchell does well to stop that as it bounces in front of him at long-on. He went for the catch and got his body behind it. Was the knuckle-ball

Jacob Duffy to Naman Dhir, no run - lovely bowling. Full and right up there outside off, Naman Dhir shuffles across to scoop and is nutmegged. Two dots in a row to end the over

Jacob Duffy to Naman Dhir, no run - short of length and rising outside off, Naman Dhir looks to ramp and misses. Naman wants a wide but doesn't get it. To be fair it was not over the head

Jacob Duffy to Naman Dhir, FOUR - slower-ball on a short of length outside off, Naman Dhir gets forward and waits before lofting it to the right of extra-cover. That is another fine shot from Naman who's again batting superbly. The key was to wait for it and he did there. Then he used his strength to power that

Jacob Duffy to Nitish Reddy, 1 run - short of length just outside off, Nitish Kumar Reddy goes on the back foot and dabs it, to the right of short third man who dives and gets a hand to it, parries it to the other man to his left

Jacob Duffy to Nitish Reddy, no run - slower-ball and short of length outside off, Nitish Kumar Reddy goes on the back foot and cuts hard, extra-cover dives to his left and saves runs. It's a dot which is gold at this stage

Adam Milne to Naman Dhir, no run - what a yorker. Tailing into off, Naman Dhir jams it out. Can't do anything other than that

Adam Milne to Naman Dhir, FOUR - just wide of the dive of Allen to his left at backward point. Full just outside off, Naman Dhir opens the face of the bat and drives late, the opening of the face means he has got it just wide of the dive of Allen. It just missed the outstretched left hand

Adam Milne to Nitish Reddy, 1 run - lovely inswinging yorker on middle and leg, Nitish Kumar Reddy does well to dig it out to the vacant mid-wicket area

Adam Milne to Nitish Reddy, no run - short of length and skiddy outside off, Nitish Kumar Reddy tries to run it down and misses. The pace on the ball beat the batter

Adam Milne to Nitish Reddy, FOUR - now Mitchell misfields. He runs to his right at long-on and the ball slips away on the dive. A slower-ball on a good length outside off, Nitish Kumar Reddy goes on the back foot and pulls, it's into the gap but Mitchell got there and missed it

Adam Milne to Nitish Reddy, no run - too straight and the stumps at the other end saves runs. It's full on middle, lovely straight drive and Adam Milne didn't get a hand on that, had he done so Naman Dhir was gone as he was backing up too far

Blair Tickner to Nitish Reddy, 1 run - full and the slower-ball on off, Nitish Kumar Reddy gets forward to heave and it's off the thick inner half, and straight to the fielder at deep mid-wicket

Blair Tickner to Naman Dhir, 1 run - full and seam-up, around off, Naman Dhir gets forward and shows the full face of the bat to drive it hard and straight to long-off

Blair Tickner to Naman Dhir, FOUR - and the next ball goes for four. It's a slower-ball and full outside off, Naman Dhir again shows his wrists. Generates enough power to drill the drive to the left of extra-cover, who dives and can't stop it. No chance for sweeper cover to his right

Blair Tickner to Naman Dhir, no run - dropped by Milne at sweeper cover. 15th drop by New Zealand this series says Simon Doull on air. It's a slower-ball and short of length outside off, Naman Dhir slashes and there's no timing at all. Straight in and straight out. Easy as it went straight to him. Doull feels Milne was too casual there

Mitchell Santner to Naman Dhir, 1 run - flat good length on off, Naman Dhir goes on the back foot and pulls to deep mid-wicket

Mitchell Santner to Naman Dhir, FOUR - superb use of the wrists. Full outside off, Naman Dhir gets forward and lofts over extra-cover. Just got under the ball and used the wrists to elevate it over the fielder. Not a big backlift and followthrough as well

Mitchell Santner to Nitish Reddy, 1 run - full outside off, Nitish Kumar Reddy gets forward to drive to long-off

Nathan Smith to Nitish Reddy, no run - short of length and tight on off, Nitish Kumar Reddy goes on the back foot and gets right behind the line to defend to backward point

Nathan Smith to Tilak Varma, out Caught&Bowled!! Nathan Smith takes it and cheekily asks the ump to check the front foot of his. He is fine this time and Tilak Varma has to walk off. The earlier reprieve he doesn't capitalise on. India losing wickets here. The skiddyness of Smith on show again. It's a short of length delivery outside off - Tilak shuffles across and is in position to pull, but it rushes him and hits him high on the bat. The ball goes towards short mid-wicket and Smith takes it running to his left. No overstepping mistake and suddenly India need a partnership. Tilak Varma c and b Nathan Smith 6(8)

Nathan Smith to Naman Dhir, 1 run - fumble at backward point and that's sloppy. A slower-ball on a back of a length outside off, Naman Dhir pats it and is happy with a dot

Nathan Smith to Tilak Varma, 1 run - full and wide outside off, Tilak Varma is made to reach out, carves it but straight to the fielder at deep point. Just one

Nathan Smith to Tilak Varma, no ball - what a reprieve for Tilak Varma. Caught at backward point and it's a fine catch too. It's a short of length delivery on off, rushes Tilak for pace, he makes the mistake of closing the face too early, the thick leading-edge loops to the right of Allen, who covers ground and then dives to his right to take it with his right hand. Went with two hands but then as he was diving, ended up with just the right hand. All to no avail as Nathan Smith has overstepped. All that celebrations turn into disappointment. A free-hit coming up for Tilak next

He goes on the back foot to pull - it's closer to off, the top-edge goes straight up and a simple take for Tim Seifert. The skiddyness of Nathan Smith and the pitch worked against Shreyas. He was in no position to pull that. The line also was a factor as it was on off-stump and made Shreyas play. Both the set batters gone in successive overs. Shreyas Iyer c Tim Seifert b Nathan Smith 50(23) [4s-3 6s-4]

Nathan Smith to Shreyas Iyer, wide - dug in short and the slower bouncer. Too short though and left alone to take the

Mitchell Santner to Ishan Kishan, SIX - is that a magnificent catch? Finn Allen grimaces and he is not sure. Is the right foot landing on the ground when he throws the ball up? Very fine margins here. The third ump has a tough job. He wants a split-screen now. He will take his time and rightly so. He wants the right angle on the replay. Allen is wearing a smile and sipping on a drink as they wait for the verdict. He is at long-on and jumps to catch with both hands. The right foot is landing on the ground outside the fence, but has he released the ball just before? Or has the toe touched the ground with the ball still in his hand? The third ump feels the right foot is on the ground with the ball in Allen's hand after going by the split-screen replay. So will be six. Even Allen was not sure. You could argue both ways for that decision and in the end it favors Ishan Kishan. Coming to the ball, it is tossed up and he gets forward to loft and just about gets away
