5.20pm Shubman Gill is the man of the moment (so far)! He got to 1000 ODI runs today and went on to make it a superb double-century which single-handedly gave India this strong total. No other India batter crossed 35. Whether it was his opening stand with Rohit or the death overs, Gill's pull dominated the day against New Zealand. The pitch is not completely flat, it's stopping a bit and turning at times too, but whenever the bowlers changed the pace Gill picked them all to perfection. First 50 off 52 balls, a century off 87 balls, 100-150 in 35 balls, and the 150 to 200 in just 23 balls. Most importantly, the acceleration came when he was starting to run out of partners and the boundaries were drying up after the 40th over. His back-to-back sixes in the end off Ferguson got him to his 200 and India to nearly 350. Remember, New Zealand are without Williamson but they have some big hitters in their XI. Will there be dew? Can New Zealand do it? Sidharth Monga will start the chase in some time.

Sandman : "Why exactly was Gill angry in his celebration?" It was an emotional celebration

Bhalchandra : "Pandya's wicket cost india 20-30 runs short here. Thanks to Gill India reached 350. "

Shipley to Shubman Gill, OUT, holes out to deep midwicket, excellent catch from Phillips to end an excellent innings. Kohli and Hardik applauding the most with beaming smiles from the dressing room as Gill walks off. The pull fetched him so many runs today and the pull ends it as well. He middled it alright but didn't get the distance and Phillips sprinted in a long way to get both hands under it just in time with a forward dive
