4:30pm India restricted to a total below 250, something that did not seem thinkable before this game. Their batting unit was coming good but the real test was in them batting first. They were put in and Henry took early wickets as he often does. One of those was courtesy a stunning catch from Phillips, that cut short a fluent knock from Kohli. Iyer rescued India in the company of Axar, and paced his innings well. But with pressure mounting, India had to go hard at the death but were not allowed to, thanks to some superb death bowling. Henry finished with a five-for, becoming the first to do so against India at the Champions Trophy. The track does not seem too good for batting, and New Zealand's spinners got enough spin. With four tweakers in their ranks, can India manage to squeeze New Zealand? Find out shortly with Ashish
Matt Henry: The way we came here and exposed the surface early and put India under pressure. Happy with the total but big job to do. There was little bit there with the new ball. We created pressure and took wickets with the new ball. Put pressure on them as a collective group. They have got some destructive batters up top. To put them under pressure was key. There are going to be ebbs and flows on a wicket like these. We need to absorb pressure, if we do that, we have a very good chance.
