9pm: Is that enough to put pressure on India this time? You'd fancy not, given they chased a few more with relative ease (despite a late wobble) the other night in Jaipur. India's attack did really well to pull the innings back, with NZ having blazed their way to 64 for 1 at the end of the powerplay. They only managed 89 from 84 balls thereafter, despite dew already having a noticeable effect. Can the tourists reshaped attack make life difficult in a chase of 154? Find out with KK shortly
Here's Harshal Patel, after taking 2 for 25 on debut: "Great feeling playing for the country, you start playing for the love of the game and this is the ultimate goal. Promised myself I won't take it for granted. Rahul bhai has told me, once you've done your preparation, come here and enjoy the game. Nine-ten years of domestic cricket, I've reached here after the IPL, it gives me a lot of satisfaction."
Here's Sean Daniel: "NZ have found themselves in a similar situation yet again. And this time after scoring 60 in the powerplay." They definitely wouldn't have defended this score in Dubai last Sunday
Deepak Chahar to close out

"Seifert and Neesham facing 27 balls for their 16 runs will be the difference," declares Khan Ayaz. Neesham's S/R of 25.00 was particularly wince-inducing
Rohit: "Bhuvi's figures really don't show how well he has bowled today." Could have had 3 for 30 on another day
Adam Milne heads out, still two overs for NZ to try and get up towards 160

"It did not sit up nicely. He was cramped for room and was tricked by the change of pace. Give some credit to Harshal please." Whatever it was, it certainly worked, kshitija pandya. One in the W column is all the needs
Bhuvneshwar to bowl the 18th
