India: 173-5 (44 ovs), Target to win: 261

Kohli breaks the shackles with a perfect cover drive for four runs against Boult. He moves forward with a confident big stride to defend the next ball. Boult gets the next ball to come in sharply with a bit of bounce and there is stifled appeal for LBW.

Kohli then despatches a half volley down the ground back past the bowler for the second boundary of the over.

Suresh Raina's woes against off-spinners continue but this time he causes his own downfall with a reckless shot. He charges down the wicket to Patel but is beaten in the flight and is bowled for a duck.

That was unnecessary in the circumstances as Sunil Gavaskar rightly says on commentary "succumbed to pressure."

New Zealand are well and truly on top now.

Captain MS Dhoni punches it to point for one and Kohli gets a thick outside edge for another single. Kohli flicks the last ball of that over through midwicket for a boundary.
