6.3 Pulled straight to square leg. Another India batter finds the fielder perfectly. Shortish and spinning in to her, Shafali goes back and pulls it straight to Halliday, who is standing next to the square leg umpire. Carson's dream run from the T20 World Cup continues 49/2

2.1 Catching practice for backward point. Almost a nothing shot that from Mandhana. Shortish and outside off, angling away. she hangs back and cuts it straight to Plimmer, who makes no mistake. Mandhana, leading in an ODI for the first time, falls cheaply 12/1

15.1 in the air and straight down deep backward square leg's throat! Tossed up on a fullish length on leg stump. Yastika looks for the sweep but does not make a wholehearted attempted to clear the fence. Does not keep it down either and Carson, stood on the fence, did not have to move an inch to pouch it. NZ have just what they would have wanted after the drinks interval; India, in a bit of strife! 91/4

10.5 Easy peasy for Gaze! Hemalatha is known to be quite adept against spin, and her eyes light up when Carson flights one. She charges down and swings hard but misses. Gaze does the rest and India lose a third 71/3

26.5 Plumb? Given! Bates celebrates but Rodrigues reviews. It is a length ball on off, that skids on past her attempted flick. The middle and leg stumps are visible. Is the impact outside? Only that can save Rodrigues. Impact umpire's call and hitting the wickets. Crucial breakthrough for New Zealand 152/5

33.3 Amelia gets the debutant Hasabnis. The flight entices Hasabnis out of the crease and she looks to swipe it across the line. Misses it due to the spin away and Gaze gets another stumping to her name 181/6

44.3 knocks her over, and India have been bowled out for 227! Excellently-planned leg stump yorker, knowing that Deepti will likely go for the sweep. She looks to swipe it away but the ball is full enough to sneak under her bat. In the end, she gets bowled around her legs and New Zealand walk off with the feeling of a job well done! 227/10

41.1 Kerr has another! On a short of a length outside off and Reddy's eyes light up. She goes deep into her crease, aiming for the cow corner fence. Gets a good chunk of it too but not enough to clear the fence completely. Rowe, on as a sub, settles under it at deep mid wicket and does the rest. Vital wicket for New Zealand! 218/7

42.1 the simplest of return catches, and India are now eight down! Back of a length on middle and off. Holds in the surface just a shade and Radha, looking to knock it past the bowler for a single, only offers up a tame return catch for Jess. Radha is disappointed, and India continue to lose wickets at crucial junctures! 223/8

43.2 another one bites the dust! Amelia Kerr has four, and India slump closer to being bowled out! Lobs it up on a fullish length outside off, and that entices Saima into the big slog. Does not keep it down, though, neither does she get the power to get it over the sweeper. Fairly simple catch for Rowe, and NZ are squeezing India quite well here! 226/9

1.3 Feathered behind, yes! Thakor jumps in glee and she has a maiden international wicket. Excellent channel, landing on a length on fifth stump line. Bates has a tentative poke at it and both Bhatia and Thakor knew. Needed the umpire's nod and Thakor is super happy. What a start for India this 7/1

9.5 Taken this time and it is a superb catch from Deepti. It comes down low at her and she dives forward and to her right to take that. Tossed up again, on a length outside off, and spinning in a touch. Plimmer goes back and punches it back aerially. Deepti takes it with a dive to her right and India pick up the second 40/2

18.5 taken this time, and Radha has the wicket she was after! Takes pace off, bowls it full outside off and throws up the challenge. Down takes it up but comes off second-best. Cannot get under it enough and the lack of elevation brings Hasabnis into play. A regulation catch at mid off, and New Zealand are now four down! 79/4

11.6 Comes down the track early, she pats it back towards the bowler. Deepti waits for a while and then throws it to Bhatia, who whips the bails and asks the question. Oh dear! Devine perhaps did not anticipate the throw and has her leg just on the outer part of the line. Is there any part of her foot inside the line? Don't think so. The TV umpire also rules her out. Deepti and Bhatia's combined presence of mind lands India a crucial blow. The Indian dugout is ecstatic, too 46/3

29.1 straight back at Saima Thakor, and she has broken this game open with Halliday's scalp! Length ball on middle and leg, and this is a result of the pressure applied in Saima's last over. Wicket-to-wicket and Halliday has no room to work with. Tries to bunt it past the bowler but the ball stops ever so slightly, meaning she chips it back at Saima. The debutant is overjoyed, India are overjoyed, and that could be a big moment in the game! 128/5

29.4 oh dear - catastrophe for New Zealand and pure, unfiltered elation for India! Full outside off. Gaze drives it back towards the bowler, who gets a hand to it and diverts it towards mid on. That is Gaze's cue to set off for the single but Green is just not ready enough for it. She reluctantly goes through and is caught a couple of yards short by Mandhana's laser-sharp direct throw at the batter's end. Green shakes her head as she walks off, and India go back-to-back! 128/6

39.5 One, two, taken! Thakor manages to hang on. A breakthrough for India after nine overs. Another slower one from Reddy outside off, Gaze looks to go big down the ground. Gets more height and towards long-on. Thakor runs in and juggles a couple of times but manages pouch it 167/8

30.4 Another one bites the dust. New Zealand falling quickly now. Needless aggression this. Jess sees a tossed up ball and looks to slog it across the line. Gets a leading edge that skies up and lands in Thakor's waiting hands at backward point 131/7

40.3 does her all ends up! Extraordinarily slow and tossed up generously on leg stump. Penfold looks to work to leg but the ball drops on her devilishly. She cannot get to the pitch and then sees the ball rip past her bat. Kisses the off stump and New Zealand are now down to their last partnership! 168/9

40.4 oh my days - what an end to the game! Rather chaotic from a New Zealand perspective, perhaps comical for the neutral, but confidence-boosting for India after their T20 World Cup campaign! A proper moon ball, which ends up as a high full toss outside off. Carson jabs it into the off side and then has an enormous miscommunication with her partner. Amelia wanted to get on strike, Carson probably late to respond. The throw goes to the bowler's end, where, to add to the drama, Radha fumbles. But fortunately for her, the ball bounces off her palms and into the stumps. Carson nowhere in the picture, and that will be that. India have snuck from behind New Zealand in this second innings, and they have left them trailing in their wake! 168/10
