India: 50-0 (8 ovs), Target to win: 261

NZ 365 and 248 vs India 353

Doug Bracewell into the attack and he replaces Southee, who was hit for 18 runs in three overs. Gambhir gets a thick outside edge off the first delivery and a good stop from Williamson at second slip saves some runs. Gambhir punches the third ball down the ground beating the fielder at mid-off for his sixth boundary of the innings.

Gambhir gets another boundary off the next ball as he once again sends the ball crashing through the cover region.

India are sitting pretty on 50 for no loss after eight overs with Gambhir hitting 30 from 33 balls and Sehwag on 14.

The first 50-run opening partnership between Sehwag and Gambhir after 12 innings.
