- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR12.4 A near yorker bowls Seifert. No hundred for him. Khaleel hits the blockhole on off from round the wicket, nearly 140ks, Seifert can't keep it out 134/28.2 Munro holes out to Shankar at long-on. Looped up on off stump, Munro swings. He gets more height as opposed to distance. Krunal provides India with the breakthrough 86/115.1 googly, spinning into the hips, Williamson picks it up and flicks it straight into the lap of Hardik Pandya at deep midwicket. NZ have lost two wickets in two balls 164/414.6 Has DK caught this at the edge of the long-on boundary? Hokey-pokey. DK isn't sure if he has caught this cleanly. They go to the TV umpire. On a length and outside off, Mitchell holds his shape and hoists it in the air. DK leaps, catches the ball with both hands, but the momentum carries him over the ropes. He tosses the ball into play, then DK throws himself forward and takes the ball again. His foot isn't in contact with the rope. Top, top catch from DK. He sends Mitchell back for 8 off 6 balls on debut 164/318.1 Khaleel gets under a skier at short fine leg. He bobbles but clings onto it. Bhuvneshwar hits a hard length and outside off, legcutter it is, Taylor top-edges in the air and falls 191/617.5 Full-toss on off, below the waist, de Grandhomme swings in the air. Siraj moves across to his left from deep square leg and completes a sprawling catch. Outstanding catch from the sub fielder. Pandya gets away with another full-toss 189/5Extras6 (lb 1, w 5)TOTAL219/6 (20 Overs, RR: 10.95)Fall of wickets: 1-86 (Colin Munro, 8.2 ov), 2-134 (Tim Seifert, 12.4 ov), 3-164 (Daryl Mitchell, 14.6 ov), 4-164 (Kane Williamson, 15.1 ov), 5-189 (Colin de Grandhomme, 17.5 ov), 6-191 (Ross Taylor, 18.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.2 and that's gone! A good catch running forward from deep square leg by Ferguson. It was short on the body, Rohit went for the pull but not from the middle of the bat, a big wicket for New Zealand 18/15.3 Ferguson has his revenge. A searing 151kph yorker on the toe, beating the bat and brushing the pads before clattering into the stumps 51/28.4 tossed up around off, Vijay looks to go over the bowler's head but fails to middle it, de Grandhomme comes in from long-off to take a neat catch 65/48.2 doesn't matter if that was a chance. Santner needs no help this time, yorking Pant here to disturb the stumps. Pant tried to jam his bat at it, couldn't connect 64/318.6 short of length on middle, goes for the pull, makes a neat connection but ends up hitting it straight towards Ferguson at deep square leg 136/910.2 a brilliant catch by Southee at deep midwicket, it was travelling but he judged it well, grabbing it knee-height to his right. Coming to the ball, it was a length ball wide outside off, Karthik went for the slog sweep but got a top-edge 72/510.6 fuller and wider outside off, Pandya goes with the spin, looking to clear deep extra cover but fails, Mitchell takes it easily near the boundary line 77/616.6 an excellent bouncer aimed at the head, Krunal goes for a pull, taking his eyes off the ball, can only get a glove on it, Seifert sprints forward and takes a low sliding catch 129/717.5 an excellent catch by Seifert! Fuller outside off, Bhuvneshwar looks to drive, gets an outside edge low towards the right of the keeper, who goes one-handed and grabs it inches above the ground 132/819.2 fuller on the stumps, Chahal looks to slog it towards long-on, misses and gets bowled. And that's maiden wicket for Mitchell in T20Is 139/10Extras7 (lb 3, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL139 all out (19.2 Overs, RR: 7.18)Fall of wickets: 1-18 (Rohit Sharma, 2.2 ov), 2-51 (Shikhar Dhawan, 5.3 ov), 3-64 (Rishabh Pant, 8.2 ov), 4-65 (Vijay Shankar, 8.4 ov), 5-72 (Dinesh Karthik, 10.2 ov), 6-77 (Hardik Pandya, 10.6 ov), 7-129 (Krunal Pandya, 16.6 ov), 8-132 (Bhuvneshwar Kumar, 17.5 ov), 9-136 (MS Dhoni, 18.6 ov), 10-139 (Yuzvendra Chahal, 19.2 ov)
