- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.4 fuller around off, drawing the batsman forward and then beating him as it spins the other way, Dhoni whips off the bails, they are checking upstairs, it looks like Seifert just dragged his foot back, at least something seems to be behind the line but Chris Brown, the third umpire, thinks otherwise and India have a breakthrough 80/113.2 finally India grabs one. Munro departs for a 40-ball 72. It was tossed up outside off, Munro went for a slog sweep, trying to hit it over deep midwicket against the spin, doesn't get the distance and Pandya competes the catch, coming in a few paces from deep midwicket 135/214.4 slower bouncer does the trick, it was short outside off, Williamson moved towards the off side and looks to hit it for a six, gets a top edge and Kuldeep at short fine leg makes no mistake 150/318.2 sees the batsman trying to carve behind point, so goes full and wide outside off, almost yorker-length, De Grandhomme still looks to reach out to squeeze, ends up getting a thin edge and MS Dhoni accepts it gleefully. 193/4Extras7 (lb 4, w 3)TOTAL212/4 (20 Overs, RR: 10.6)Fall of wickets: 1-80 (Tim Seifert, 7.4 ov), 2-135 (Colin Munro, 13.2 ov), 3-150 (Kane Williamson, 14.4 ov), 4-193 (Colin de Grandhomme, 18.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.5 and Santner strikes, India lose Dhawan in the first over itself. It was fuller on the stumps, Dhawan went for a slog sweep but ends up hitting it towards Daryl Mitchell at deep midwicket who completes a low tumbling catch 6/113.6 looks to go over cover, plays early and gets a thick edge that is snaffled by Seifert. Rohit's painful existence is over, he didn't have the timing or the touch today. One slog too many and that is sure to mount more pressure on India. 141/48.3 he's swept this straight to deep square. Colin de Grandhomme takes a good catch on the move. Shankar hit it well, even if he had to fetch it from outside off. Promising innings again, he's done his job, was looking really good. 81/212.2 clobbers this full toss straight to Williamson at the edge of the ring at midwicket. Tickener's first T20I wicket. Pant was perhaps a little edge with frustration creeping in, connected well but found the fielder. 121/314.5 bat goes flying as he makes contact. Square leg fielder was looking at the bat, Williamson at mid-off had his eyes on the ball as he took it. Pace from Kuggleign, that one was bowled at 146.1kph to hurry onto Hardik. 145/515.2 goes down town but doesn't get enough bat on that, Southee settles underneath at long-on to complete a straightforward catch. Dhoni got it too high on the bat 145/6Extras12 (lb 1, w 11)TOTAL208/6 (20 Overs, RR: 10.4)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Shikhar Dhawan, 0.5 ov), 2-81 (Vijay Shankar, 8.3 ov), 3-121 (Rishabh Pant, 12.2 ov), 4-141 (Rohit Sharma, 13.6 ov), 5-145 (Hardik Pandya, 14.5 ov), 6-145 (MS Dhoni, 15.2 ov)
