    4.6 nicked and gone, and Mayank's pace does the trick! Back of a length outside off, bowled at 141kph. Straightens a touch after pitching, and Seifert, trying to bash this over cover, only manages a feather. Easy grab for Samson, and this is a massive breakthrough for the visitors! 49/1
    7.4 skewed a mile up, and Axar bags the big fish! Fired in on a back of a length just outside off, and this seems to stick a little. Straightens too maybe and Allen, looking to go big over long on, loses his shape completely. Cuts across it way too much and Tilak accepts the offering with glee at long off. Big, big wicket! 80/2
    12.1 goes straight up, and taken! Shortish and angling across the batter outside off. Mitchell tries to fight the angle and has an almighty swipe at it. Gets it all wrong and the ball goes a mile up. Comes down with some snow on it, but when it does, Bhuvneshwar is on hand at short third to gobble it up. A wicket in his 100th T20I, and Mitchell's cameo comes to an end! 122/3

    17.3 has Jacobs been run out?! Arshdeep cramps Phillips for room with a full ball, and Phillips can only dig it out. Jacobs senses an opportunity for a single and calls. Arshdeep does his best Lionel Messi impression and with a wave of the left boot, slots it into the stumps. Jacobs dove full-length but was caught just short. Excellent by the pacer, and perhaps now we know why these teams play so much of football in their warm-ups! 195/4

    8.6 chopped on, and Samson cannot believe it! Slow and short outside off. Seems to hold in the pitch too and Samson, trying to hit it too hard, loses shape a little. Jams it off the inside edge and the ball bobbles into off stump. Not the best ball Santner has ever bowled, but he has sent back the set batter. Take nothing away from the innings, though! 115/2
    5.5 off-spin gets Abhishek again, and Bracewell roars in delight! Fizzed through on a length on middle and leg. Abhishek backs away and tries to go inside-out. A hint of turn, though, and that causes the miscue. Off the outer half of the blade and Milne does the rest at short third! 93/1
    9.3 heaved into the leg side, and Tilak's troubled stay has come to an end! Given a bit of loop on a length on leg. Tilak hares down and tries to lift this over long on. Does not get to the pitch of the ball, meaning that he has to reach out in front. Drags it eventually and a very simple chance for Ferguson at deep mid wicket! 117/3
    18.1 clothed to extra cover, and NZ keep fighting! Back of a length outside off. Shreyas wants to loft this over extra cover but does not get the elevation he wants. A feeble chip to Santner, who tumbles forward to complete the catch. Is there a twist in this tale still? 210/6
    10.3 Kishan looks to go big, and he perishes! Looped up full on the stumps, and Kishan's eyes light up. He gets down on one knee, trying to mow it over cow corner. Gets it off the bottom half of the bat, though, and Allen, running forward and to his left from long on, slides to complete the catch. India in a spot of bother now! 122/4
    14.3 no need for DRS this time! Hard length on middle and leg, and this rushes onto Axar. Gets a little big on him too, while also cramping Axar up. A short-arm-jab in the end and the ball pops up tamely towards mid wicket, where Conway lunges forward and sends Axar packing! 167/5
