8.39pm A good last over from Mitchell but you would think India have got enough here. New Zealand need two a ball from the get-go, but this pitch is flat and outfield quick. Apart from that last over, this has been the perfect innings for India. A quick start from Gill and Tripathi, then Tripathi blazing away with great intent as Gill dropped anchor, and then towards the end Gill took off again in sensational manner to go with quick cameos from Yadav and Pandya. A 126 at 200 strike-rate is not bad from your anchor, is it? To see if New Zealand can chase this down, you will be with Hemant Brar

Mitchell to Hooda, 1 run, a last over without a boundary. Full outside off, can't get under it, just the single to deep cover

And he runs in and doesn't bowl the ball. He is not looking for the run out at the non-striker's end, seems to have lost his footing

Mitchell to Shubman Gill, no run, slower bouncer, angling across him, beats his attempt at the upper-cut. They have appealed and reviewed for a catch at the wicket. Actually he has not bowled a slower ball. This one has just come slowly off the surface. Not even near the edge, though

Mitchell to Shubman Gill, 2 runs, Full enough to not let him get under this one. Gill hits it hard, Mitchell gets a hand on it, which allows them the time to initiate a second that is not on. Mitchell misses with the throw, and Gill is back on strike

Mitchell to Pandya, OUT, seam-up, on a length, angling across, Pandya gets too much underneath it and skies it for a catch at long-off. What a bowling chance. A wicket and a new batter on strike

HH Pandya c Bracewell b Mitchell 30 (35m 17b 4x4 1x6) SR: 176.47

Last over coming up. Can India get 250 here? This partnership is 103 off 43. Surprise surprise. Daryl Mitchell to bowl the last over, and he going around the wicket

Lister to Shubman Gill, SIX, he has had two good balls taken fo0r fours this over, and now bowls a rank one. A proper juicy full toss that Gill smacks over wide long-on for six more. This is carnage
18.5

Lister to Shubman Gill, FOUR, wow, can you believe it? A boundary all along the ground, beating long-on to his left. And Lister has only missed the yorker by inches. And this is just a punch without any follow-through

Lister to Pandya, 1 run, full, wide, and another helicopter shot from Pandya gets them a single to deep cover

Lister to Shubman Gill, 1 run, Bracewell nearly pulls off another stunner. Low full toss, hit hard and straight of Bracewell at long-on. He rushes to his left and dives full length to catch it in his wrong hand, but as he comes down it pops out

Lister to Shubman Gill, FOUR, oh this is ludicrous. The bowler gets the yorker right, but he goes deep to open the face and beat short third to his right and deep point to his left

Ferguson to Pandya, SIX, New Zealand can't stop the bleeding here. Pandya has set himself up for the pull or the slog, Ferguson bowls on-pace, draws an edge out of him, but it is such a big edge that it goes over deep third for a six

Ferguson to Pandya, no run, pulled hard, but straight back at Ferguson. A rare dot ball

Ferguson to Shubman Gill, 1 run, dropped at long-off. Ferguson has sent that mid-off back, bowled a slower legcutter, Gill doesn't get all of it, but Chapman can't hold on to the low offering to his right
17.2

Ferguson to Shubman Gill, SIX, this is the year of Gill. We are just living in it. Ferguson bowls a length ball, and he goes deep in his crease to play a pick-up shot over deep midwicket
17.1

Ferguson to Shubman Gill, FOUR, what a stylish way to get to his hundred. What a year this has been. Ferguson bowls a half-volley, and he goes over wide mid-off. And then takes the customary bow. He has hundreds in all international formats

Ferguson now

Tickner to Pandya, FOUR, gets the line right but the length wrong. This is a low full toss, the mid-off is up, and Pandya goes over that man to get four more

Tickner to Shubman Gill, 1 run, wide length ball, driven to deep cover for one

Seems Gill has beaten this ball out of shape. It is getting changed now.

Ajay Dhanak: "Well.. like the commentators curse, Gill has actually hoodwinked me and scored 36 in last 15 balls "

Tickner to Shubman Gill, SIX, whoa. Sensational. Short, into the ribs, and he has pulled this clean over midwicket. One short from a T20I hundred
