B Kumar to M Guptill, SIX! Brilliant start. Full on middle and leg, Guptill lofts it over mid-wicket for a maximum. What a start for New Zealand.

09:56 (IST) Jan 31

We are back for the chase. Martin Guptill and Henry Nicholls open the innings. Bhuvneshwar Kumar to bowl the first over.

09:55 (IST) Jan 31

Now then, 93 is the target. Can it be defended? India will probably need a miracle. One would actually say how long will New Zealand take to chase this down. 15 overs, 20 overs? We'll find out in a bit. For now, Trent Boult is down for an interview.

09:54 (IST) Jan 31

For New Zealand, it was all about Trent Boult. Yes, Colin de Grandhomme did get three important wickets but the way the left-arm seamer bowled was just something else. He swung the ball both ways and wrecked havoc. He finished with a 5-fer and has ensured New Zealand are not chasing anything which worries them.

09:50 (IST) Jan 31

It was the ideal stage for Ambati Rayudu and Dinesh Karthik to cement their spot in the XI with a good knock here but that wasn't to be. Both fell in the space of 5 balls with the latter bagging a duck. Kedhar also did not trouble the scorers a lot. Hardik did look to attack but he fell pray to a short delivery. The highest stand for India came for the 9th wicket between Kuldeep and Chahal but overall, the batting scorecard for India is a sorry one.

09:48 (IST) Jan 31

It has been all New Zealand right from the toss itself. They won it and elected to field and the Kiwi bowlers have justified that decision. They got rid of Dhawan early and India never recovered after that. Sharma soon followed. Gill looked good to start with but the blow on his head changed everything. He looked rattled and then soon fell without making an impact.

09:47 (IST) Jan 31

India's problems against swing has once again been exposed here, they have been blown away for their second lowest score against the Kiwis who are led off the field by the star for today, Trent Boult. He walks off to a huge ovation from the crowd here.

J Neesham to K Ahmed, OUT! Yorker. Full and straight on middle and off. Too much to ask from the number 11. He cannot get his bat down in time and the ball hits the timber. INDIA ARE BOWLED OUT FOR 92.

J Neesham to K Ahmed, FOUR! Good shot from the number 11. Full outside off, Ahmed takes his front leg out of the way and whacks it towards mid-off. In a rare incident, Williamson misfields. The ball goes between his legs and to the fence for a boundary. With that boundary Khaleel has ensured this is not India's lowest total against New Zealand, which was 88.
