NZ 88-4 (15 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Santner is cut into half by a big turning delivery from Jadeja as goes right through his defences and beats Dhoni for four byes.

The left-hander comes down the track and is beaten but a slight deflection off the gloves takes it away from Dhoni and saves him from getting stumped.

Jadeja fires it down the leg side as Santner looks to sweep it but is beaten and Dhoni is struck on the gloves and seems to have suffered an injury on his hands.

Santner has a clue against Jadeja at the moment as he gets an inside edge and picks a single. Anderson looks to smash one through the off-side but is beaten as the ball looks to have clipped the stumps before going through to Dhoni.

A top over from Jadeja, who still ends up conceding 12 runs.

Raina ends his spell with another tight over, giving away just three runs, to finish with wonderful figures of one for 15 in four overs.

Dhoni introduces all-rounder Hardik Pandya and Santner manages to release some pressure as he flicks the second ball over midwicket for a boundary.

He repeats the shot off the fifth ball for a couple before taking a single to keep strike.

New Zealand have not been allowed to break free as they reach 88 for four in 15 overs with Anderson on 34 from 39 balls and Santner on 11 from 13 balls.
