B Tickner to V Kohli, OUT! Guptill takes a stunner, running in from the deep! Kohli is sent packing and this is a body blow to India.

The ball loops in the air and Guptill charges forward from deep mid-wicket to take a ripper of a catch, inches above the surface. 83 needed off 53 balls and now it's game on!
