NZ 126-7 (20 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Elliott tries to disturb Bumrah's rhythm as he comes down the track but the young pacer bowls a good slower to beat the right-hander all ends up.

He makes room to the next ball and manages to drive the next ball through point for two runs followed by a single.

Bumrah yet again foxes Elliott with the slower delivery as the ball passes over the stumps before he takes a risky single from the last ball of the over.

A superb exhibition of fast bowling from Bumrah, who finishes with wonderful figures of one for 15 in his four overs.

Jadeja to bowl the 19th over. Elliott makes room and looks to hit over the off-side but is beaten as Dhoni appeals for stumping which is referred to the third umpire.

Dhoni did well to dislodge the bails in no time but Elliott managed to drag his feet back in time and is saved by a whisker. Good glovework from the Indian skipper.

Luke Ronchi makes room and lofts Jadeja over the off-side for a four to get a much-needed boundary for the Kiwis with three more singles from the last three balls making it eight from the over.

The experienced Nehra to bowl the final over of the innings. He also does well to bowl it full and on the stumps as New Zealand can only take singles before Elliott is run out off the third ball going for an impossible second run as Dhawan's flat throw catches him short.

Ronchi gets an inside edge off the fourth ball for a four through fine followed by a six over midwicket.

He took two runs from the last ball as New Zealand finished on 126 for seven in their 20 overs.
