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.
One ball to come.
