8.49pm Well, advantage India at the halfway mark, and not simply because of that familiar dew factor. Guptill and Chapman set a mighty platform for NZ and showed what might have been possible, but India held it together well.

Chapman: "It's a fair team total. It's nice to get an opportunity, the guys did well at the World Cup, thankfully got a few out of the middle. A few balls keeping low, stopping, turning, 160-odd is a competitive total."

So, there we go. KK will be back for the chase shortly.

Mohammed Siraj to Southee, 2 byes, full length, outside off, a swing and a miss, but somehow they scamper two byes in a chaotic finale, as Pant shies at one end, misses at the other, Southee picks himself up after a dive and jogs back for the second. It's a score, but it's some 20 runs shy of what NZ might have targeted.

One ball to come.

Mohammed Siraj to Ravindra, OUT, bowled him! What a stunning over this is proving to be. Wicket-to-wicket, leg-stump line, zipping off a full length, past a flaccid pull, into the stumps. New Zealand have run aground in the final three

R Ravindra b Mohammed Siraj 7 (19m 8b 1x4 0x6) SR: 87.50

Mohammed Siraj to Ravindra, no run, extra pace this time! Proper wheels on a similar length, and it flies through over a half-formed pull
19.3
0
Mohammed Siraj to Ravindra, no run, well bowled, rolls the fingers on a short ball, attempted cut/pull but the ball never arrives
19.2

Mohammed Siraj to Ravindra, FOUR, under-edged hack off a good length, fine leg is up and there's no defending that!
19.1
1
Mohammed Siraj to Santner, 1 run, clobbered back at the bowler, might have been a technical chance, but that was travelling so quick ... and it looks like Siraj may be out of action here! That has smashed into his left hand, probably split the webbing. Out comes the physio to patch him up. He's fine to continue

END OF OVER:
19 | 5 Runs 1 Wkt | NZ: 157/5 | RR: 8.26

  • Mitchell Santner3 (3b)
  • Rachin Ravindra3 (4b)
  • Bhuvneshwar Kumar4-0-24-2

170 now looking like the target... a bit like the final the other night. And that went well...

18.6
1
Kumar to Santner, 1 run, scuffed away to the leg side, just another single, and this is not the big finish that NZ were threatening
18.5
2
Kumar to Santner, 2 runs, hits the deck hard, pulled to the leg side, a sharp shy and should be a run-out! But the bowler fumbles, the ball deflects off the batter, sprawling in the crease, and they turn down the overthrow. All happening!
18.4
0
Kumar to Santner, no run, back of a length, outside off, pushed to mid-off

Guna: "Afridi....I remember Wade" I also remember that drop ...

18.3
1
Kumar to Ravindra, 1 run, banged in short, clubbed to midwicket
18.2
W
Kumar to Seifert, OUT, outside off, slower ball again, back of a length and hacked wildly into the floodlights, it plops to point and another one bites the dust

TL Seifert c Yadav b Kumar 12 (27m 11b 2x4 0x6) SR: 109.09

Kumar to Ravindra, 1 run, low full toss, on the legs, worked into the gap

Chahar to Seifert, no run, slower ball, hops past an ungainly pull. That's a fine over, in spite of that first-ball six. A timely dent to NZ's 180-ish ambitions

Nik: "Shaheen Afridi!! Are Pak players allowed in this auction ?" Sadly not ... that team would clean up if they were!

17.5
1
Chahar to Ravindra, 1 run, punched off the back foot into the gap in the covers
17.4
0
Chahar to Ravindra, no run, banged in short, good wheels across the left-hander, bounces over an attempted uppercut ... in fact there's a review for caught-behind, but there's nothing in that

Jigar: "Left Arm Mystery Quick.. Shaheen Afridi? " Well quite... wonder what he'd fetch at the IPL!

17.3
1
Chahar to Seifert, 1 run, on the back foot, mistimed thump to the on-side
17.2
W
Chahar to Guptill, OUT, another slap, but Guptill doesn't connect properly this time! Chahar goes for the blockhole ball again, brave or foolhardy? It seems the former, as the ball loops off the toe, out to deep midwicket, for Siyer to cling on inside the rope. A check for a back-foot no-ball, but no issues there

MJ Guptill c SS Iyer b Chahar 70 (87m 42b 3x4 4x6) SR: 166.66

17.1

Chahar to Guptill, SIX, clattered into the night sky! You can't bowl there to Martin Guptill! He's seeing it like a planet now, too full, in that slot, 98 metres over midwicket!

END OF OVER:
17 | 14 Runs | NZ: 144/3 | RR: 8.47

  • Tim Seifert11 (8b)
  • Martin Guptill64 (40b)
  • Bhuvneshwar Kumar3-0-19-1

Akhil: "Is it real that we are talking about the WC squad she the last one was hours ago?" there's always something new in this calendar!

Kumar to Seifert, FOUR, slapped on the up to deep cover, and dropped! Oh dear, that's a shocker from Axar, Seifert got right underneath an uppish drive, but that bursts through his fingers, and is inches from going for six too
16.5
0
Kumar to Seifert, no run, down on one knee, and bashed to cover
16.4
1
Kumar to Guptill, 1 run, cuffed out to point for another single
16.3
6
Kumar to Guptill, SIX, too much width, on a full length, and Guptill isn't messing about! Down on his knees, reaching lustily for the juicy length, and hoisting it high into the stands at long-off!

ViragS: "Maybe i have been living under a rock, but whats a Left Arm Mystery Quick? I know mystery spinners but quicks?" See, I told you they were rare!

Kumar to Seifert, 1 run, on the back foot, and clawed to the on-side
