Player Of The Match
  • 37.6

    OUT! Caught. Kuldeep Yadav to Trent Boult. Googly length ball, outside off stump on the front foot defending, outside edge to first slip, by Sharma. That will finish it off. A beauty from Kuldeep, that would've been good enough for a top order batsman. Round the wicket, spinning away from the right hander, and the ball flicks the outside edge to loop into the hands of first slip.

    What a performance from India. Relentless with ball in hand. They have dismantled this New Zealand batting line up. Mohammed Shami with the new ball, and the two spinners with the older one. The Kiwis had no answer. This should be a simple enough chase, but if the hosts take a few early ones, who knows?

    OUT! Stumped. Kuldeep Yadav to Lockie Ferguson. Googly length ball, middle stump on the front foot defending, missed to wicketkeeper, by Dhoni. Kuldeep with another! Googly not picked, Ferguson drags the foot out the crease, and Dhoni is lightning quick in whipping off those bails. The Kiwi cannot get back in time. Nine down.

  • 33.6

    APPEAL! Kuldeep Yadav to Lockie Ferguson. Googly length ball, to leg on the front foot defending, hit pad to second slip for no runs, fielded by Sharma, appeal made for L.B.W. India aren't happy. They have already wasted their review. It would've definitely been used here. Another googly, beats the outside edge to hit the back leg, and it looked pretty plumb. Not given by the umpire. HawkEye shows it would've been overturned.

  • 33.5

    OUT! Bowled. Kuldeep Yadav to Doug Bracewell. Googly back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot cutting, inside edge to. Two in the over for Kuldeep. He rips out the wrong'un, and Bracewell drags it back into his stumps. Goes reaching for the ball outside off, and a thick inside edge sees the ball cannon into middle and leg. The hosts are folding.

  • 34.5

    Tim Southee to Ambati Rayudu. Slower length ball, outside off stump on the front foot dropped, to gully for 1 run, fielded by Munro.

    A dominant display by India. Deadly with the ball, and professional with the bat. Mohammed Shami, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Kuldeep Yadav did all the damage to bundle out the Kiwis for just 157. A simple task with the bat on a decent track, and they made it home with ease. They go 1-0 up in the five match series. The next game is on Saturday, which is now a crucial one for the Kiwis to win. Hopefully it will be a good contest.
