Wicket: Mitchell to Hardik Pandya, out Bowled!! Hardik Pandya b Mitchell 28(38) [4s-3]
Last 10 overs of play, India losing Pandya here could hamper a strong finish. It will be key that Shubman Gill carries this innings till the end. India 251/5 Shubman Gill 134 (113) Washinton Sundar 1 (1)
Shubman Gill races past 150 in 122 balls. India look to finish strong.

Here we go start of the second innings. New Zealand beging massive run chase
Can the Kiwis provide that one player that can take the game by the scruff like Shubman Gill did?
Siraj to Conway, out Caught by Kuldeep Yadav!! Top edgeeeee, taken very well at fine leg. Mohammed Siraj - what a gem he has turned out be for India in ODIs. He has taken the most wickets in the first powerplay Conway c 10(16)

Kuldeep Yadav to Mitchell, out Lbw!! Mitchell has been adjudged lbw. He has a word with his batting partner and sends it upstairs. Gets beaten on the inside edge and is rapped on the front leg adjacent to the sticks. Clearly no bat. Over to ball-tracking and it's three reds
Shami to Glenn Phillips, out Bowled 11(20). New Zealand have now lost half their side.
Half Century: Fifty with a six for Michael Bracewell. Make no mistake, NZ are still way away from having any chance in this game but this is a spirited knock. Can they stage a late charge?

Shardul has done it! He has Bracewell plumb LBW. The Kiwi will review, of course, but this looks dead plumb. Unless there is bat and there isn't any. Flat Line on UltraEdge and it has to be Three Reds. It is!
