  • 7.6

    Trent Boult to Hardik Pandya. Yorker, middle stump on the front foot Slog, to deep mid wicket for 1 run, fielded by de Grandhomme. That's it, the end of a short innings as India post 67-5 from their eight overs. New Zealand bowled really well in that innings and have restricted India to a chaseable score. Nevertheless it's all still in the balance this second innings with India boasting some of the best death bowlers worldwide.

A fantastic catch on the ropes between Santner and de Grandhomme. Pandey swings into the leg-side but it goes high and not far. Santner is on the edge of the ropes and athleticly leaps at the ball and palms it to de Grandhomme for a great combination catch.

  • 3.6

  • End of Over 8
    Over 8. 12 runs. Bowler: Hardik Pandya. New Zealand: 61/6 (rr 7.62)
  • 7.6

    Hardik Pandya to Mitchell Santner. Short, off stump on the back foot cutting, to deep backward point for 1 run, fielded by Bumrah. That's the game. New Zealand fall seven runs short and realistically always looked to be struggling to this total. The Indian bowlers bowled well and respect is due to Bumrah and Chahal inparticular who kept things tight. The New Zealanders will be dissapointed with the result, they struggled to get going and didn't put bat onto ball well enough. A thrilling start to life for the Greenfield Internation Stadium, India's 50th venue for international cricket. The eight-overs-a-side competition lived up to expectations and India, and the home fans, got the result they were looking for. No batsman managed to take charge in the game and the bowlers ruled roost at the end of the day. India win the series 2-1 and win the game by six runs.

  • 7.5

    Hardik Pandya to Mitchell Santner. Half volley, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, in the air under control to long on for 2 runs, fielded by Kohli.

  • 7.4

    Hardik Pandya to Colin de Grandhomme. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, to deep backward square leg for 1 run, fielded by Bumrah.

  • 7.4

  • 7.3

    SIX! Hardik Pandya to Colin de Grandhomme. Off cutter short, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, well timed in the air under control over deep mid wicket for 6 runs. Six for de Grandhomme who picks the ball up this time and powers it into the leg-side for a massive six. Still looking unlikely.

  • 7.2

    Hardik Pandya to Colin de Grandhomme. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, to silly mid off for no runs, fielded by Pandya.

  • End of Over 7
    Over 7. 10 runs. Bowler: Jasprit Bumrah. New Zealand: 48/6 (rr 6.86)

  • 6.5
    Tom Bruce Run Out Hardik Pandya 4 (2)

    OUT! Run Out. Jasprit Bumrah to Tom Bruce. Slower length ball, outside off stump on the front foot reverse sweeping, missed to wicketkeeper for 1 run, shy attempt by Bumrah, fielded by Pandya, by Dhoni. Carnage on the field here as Bruce swings and misses once again, this time Dhoni throws to the bowler Bumrah who then has a shy at the bowlers end stumps. He misses and Pandya collects who then has a shy at the keepers end stumps as the batsman return for a second. This time Dhoni takes the bails off and he's short of his ground and Bruce is run out.

  • 6.4

    Wide Jasprit Bumrah to Tom Bruce. Short, to leg on the front foot flick, Play and Miss (Leg Side) to wicketkeeper for 2 runs, fielded by Dhoni.

  • 6.3

    FOUR! Jasprit Bumrah to Tom Bruce. Full toss, middle stump on the front foot flick, well timed past fine leg for 4 runs. A poor ball from Bumrah gives Bruce an easy boundary, he flicks off his legs from a full-toss which goes to wide-fine leg for four.

  • 6.2

    Jasprit Bumrah to Colin de Grandhomme. Slower ball full toss, to leg on the front foot working, to deep backward point for 1 run, fielded by Kohli.

  • 6.1
    Henry Nicholls c Shreyas Iyer b Jasprit Bumrah 2 (4)

    OUT! Caught. Jasprit Bumrah to Henry Nicholls. Slower length ball, down leg side on the front foot sweeping, top edge to fine leg, by Iyer. Nicholls is out after not connecting with a sweep shot which ends up in the hands of Iyer at wide fine-leg. Surely there's too much for New Zealand to do now.

  • End of Over 6
    Over 6. 3 runs. Bowler: Yuzvendra Chahal. New Zealand: 39/4 (rr 6.50)
  • 5.6

  • 4.6

    SIX! Kuldeep Yadav to Colin de Grandhomme. Chinaman length ball, middle stump on the front foot Slog, well timed in the air under control over deep mid wicket for 6 runs. Six for de Grandhomme who picks up a fuller ball from Yadav delightfully and it goes sailing over the ropes at mid-on.

  • 4.5

    Kuldeep Yadav to Colin de Grandhomme. Chinaman half volley, outside off stump on the front foot cutting, to deep square leg for 2 runs, fielded by Pandey.

  • 4.4
    Glenn Phillips c Shikhar Dhawan b Kuldeep Yadav 11 (9)

    OUT! Caught. Kuldeep Yadav to Glenn Phillips. Chinaman half volley, outside off stump on the front foot slog sweeping, in the air uncontrolled to deep mid wicket, by Dhawan. Phillips holes out to deep mid-wicket the very next ball and it leaves New Zealand with two new batsman on strike once again here. They're struggling to keep with the rate. Good bowling from Yadav nonetheless.

  • 4.3
    Kane Williamson Run Out Hardik Pandya 8 (10)

    OUT! Run Out. Kuldeep Yadav to Kane Williamson. Chinaman length ball, middle stump down the track Slog, mis-timed to mid wicket, direct hit by Pandya. New Zealand lose their captain thanks to some good fielding from Pandya who hits directly from mid-on. It seemed Williamson didn't attempt to get back, and was caught not far short.

  • 3.4

    FOUR! Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Glenn Phillips. Back of a length, outside off stump on the front foot flick, well timed in the air under control past deep mid wicket for 4 runs.

  • 3.3

    Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Glenn Phillips. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, missed to wicketkeeper for no runs, fielded by Dhoni.

  • 3.2
