- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.2 got him, that's a crucial blow from Chahar. Good comeback after that six. Digs it in short, and gets it up quickly towards the right shoulder. Looks to drag a pull from there, and ends up top-edging it high towards short fine, but Pant calls early for it, gets under it, and pouches it safely 48/111.2 mishit to long-on, Patel snaffles his maiden international wicket! It's a well-disguised cutter and Mitchell doesn't time his attempted heave down the ground, clothed the shot and it sails straight into the bread basket of SKY. Lovely moment for Harshal Patel as he's congratulated by his team-mates 90/38.5 got him, the straight boundaries here are pretty long. Tosses it up outside off, delivers it with more overspin than he usually does, and it dips a bit on Chapman as he tries to go big down the ground. Doesn't turn, and he ends up slicing it a little. Long-off moves to his left and settles nicely under the ball 79/216.3 long hop, picks out deep square leg! Pace on, 132kph, and the ball sits up nicely, but Phillips on this occasion can't generate enough power to get it up and beyond the boundary. Ended up swishing it straight down the throat of the man in the deep. Was actually a cutter from Harshal, who picks up his second wicket on debut 137/515.1 reversed... but straight to short third! Ashwin strikes straight away, Seifert looking to get cute but the execution was off. There was no one back, so he attempted a reverse-scoop off a carom ball - but the delivery was flat and fast at 99kph and he only succeeded in dollying a catch to the edge of the ring 125/417.6 wide cutter and Neesham nicks it! Not sure the umpire gave it, but Neesham is walking... Excellent delivery again, the ball going away as he looked to hit down the ground. Just kissed the top edge as he attempted a cross-batted thrash, ending a slightly tortured knock 140/6Extras7 (lb 2, nb 1, w 4)TOTAL153/6 (20 Overs, RR: 7.65)Fall of wickets: 1-48 (Martin Guptill, 4.2 ov), 2-79 (Mark Chapman, 8.5 ov), 3-90 (Daryl Mitchell, 11.2 ov), 4-125 (Tim Seifert, 15.1 ov), 5-137 (Glenn Phillips, 16.3 ov), 6-140 (James Neesham, 17.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR13.2 Rahul goes, skying a slower ball to deep square leg! An offcutter from Southee and he gets under it trying to shovel over the boundary. It's a steepling catch for Glenn Phillips but he sets himself and swallows the chance, NZ finally break the opening stand 117/115.3 oh, he's offered a gift to his opposite number... Another cutter from Southee, 121kph, and Rohit ends up dinking it to cover. Through the shot early and Guptill won't take many easier catches 135/215.6 now Suryakumar drags on...! India aren't going to make a meal of finishing the game off again, are they? Scrambled seam in the channel and SKY throws the hands, gets a thick inside-edge into his timbers. Southee and NZ have a third 137/3Extras10 (lb 6, w 4)TOTAL155/3 (17.2 Overs, RR: 8.94)Fall of wickets: 1-117 (KL Rahul, 13.2 ov), 2-135 (Rohit Sharma, 15.3 ov), 3-137 (Suryakumar Yadav, 15.6 ov)
