8.44pm Superb last over. That keeps New Zealand to their lowest T20I score against India. A great day in the field for India. They read the pitch much better this time, expecting it to turn and picking three specialist spinners. Plus they had Hooda. Also they opened with spin here. And the spinners all responded. Chahal couldn't finish his four because of two left-hand batters in the middle and also possible dew. Between them the spinners' analysis read 13-1-55-4. The fast bowlers closed out well too. If there is dew, this could be an easy chase for India. Hemant Brar will take you through the first half of it

Expecting a yorker now

Arshdeep Singh to Santner, no run, and the slower bouncer again, this one is slower than the last one, and again the height is good. High enough but not too high. Beats his pull on the top edge

Arshdeep Singh to Santner, no run, goes full and at him as Santner backs away. Not quite the yorker, but beats his bat swing on the inside edge

Arshdeep Singh to Santner, no run, good bouncer, 131ks, but good height on it, beats him on the top edge as he tries to pull. Shoulder high. And his fingers are split on the ball when he releases, which explains the slightly slower pace

Arshdeep Singh to Santner, 2 runs, backs away again, Arshdeep follows him, and he gets a thick inside edge towards deep square, and comes back for the second because it has gone to the right of the fielder

Arshdeep Singh to Ferguson, OUT, and yes it is a bouncer, and a lovely one. Rising towards his shoulder. Ferguson fends at it, tries to drop the bottom hand, but still the ball lobs up high enough towards where a gully would be. Kishan and backward point both go for it, and Washington makes it first

LH Ferguson c Washington Sundar b Arshdeep Singh 0 (4m 2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

Over the wicket now. I am expecting a bouncer

Pandya to Bracewell, OUT, this has been a superb over from Pandya to Bracewell. He has softened him up, and now is the finisher. Two bouncers, one full ball, and now the highest of the bouncers. Bracewell goes for the hook, gets the top edge, Arshdeep takes it overhead at fine leg, is very close to the boundary skirting, but lobs the ball up before he steps out and comes back to complete the catch

MG Bracewell c Arshdeep Singh b Pandya 14 (34m 22b 0x4 0x6) SR: 63.63

Pandya to Bracewell, no run, Pandya bluffs him after having bounced him twice. This is full on the pads, and is potentially a hittable ball, but Bracewell is deep in his crease and misses this altogether. Hit on the pad

Pandya to Santner, 1 run, follows him as Santner makes room. Gives him no space to free his arms. Chipped to deep midwicket for one
