While we wait for the chase, here's something else you may be interested in, brought to you by our friends from ESPN.in. Prolific goal scorer for Bengaluru FC, and cult hero in Kerala. However, there was a time when CK Vineeth nearly quit football forever.

4.30pm New Zealand would take this from 65 for 7, but that isn't saying much, really. A disappointing batting show on a belter of a pitch, but Tom Latham, picked over Anton Devcich, stood still, weathered the storm and carried his bat right through. Yet it leaves New Zealand bowlers with tn unenviable task of bowling early in the evening, with dew for company. Hardik Pandya on ODI debut was super impressive for India. He bowled with pace, got the ball to swing and generally looked in great rhythm. Umesh Yadav wasn't too bad either, although he got just a wee bit predictable when he came under attack from Tim Southee. Join us in 40 minutes for the chase.

Mishra to Sodhi, OUT, the top spinner has done the trick for Mishra. You expect Sodhi, of all people, to pick those but he had no clue whatsoever. Shapes to cut but the ball kept coming back in to hit the pad and he was trapped plumb in front of middle. Umpire Shamsuddin won't get to make easier decisions than that

Mishra to Latham, SIX, that has been deposited deep into the stands at deep square leg. Flatter and fuller on middle, he gets down on one knee and sweeps him ferociously with the spin. Far from a slog. Calculated gamble and it worked

Mishra to Latham, FOUR, shot of the evening! Excellent use of the feet, didn't get to the pitch but made room and then lofted it inside-out over cover

Bumrah to Sodhi, no run, there comes the yorker, but it wasn't like Sodhi was caught unaware, jams his bat down in time to keep that out

Kutbuddin: "Shashank: Though this was first fifty for number 10, but if I remember correctly we have recently seen a fifty by number 11 Mohd Amir against Eng." 100% correct, sir.

Tom Latham on course to be the first New Zealand batsman to carry his bat in an ODI innings.

Not sure what the reason was behind them taking a single. Latham will have to hope and pray from the other end

Mishra to Southee, OUT, why would you try to do that when runs are coming quite easily? Beyond me. Anyway, Southee looks to go over long-on but the turn does him in as the leading edge skews towards Pandey, who takes a good catch running backwards from cover. End of a super stand, a super revival for NZ, but is it enough?
