October 10, 2016  10:58


NZ 102-0 (29 ovs) vs India 557-5d | Scorecard


Ashwin has a slightly muted appeal for LBW turned down against Guptill, who was beaten by the turn but had a big step forward outside the line.

Latham survives a close run out chance as he goes for a quick single, infact he was lucky that Yadav at midwicket missed with the direct or else he was gone.

Jadeja drops one short as Guptill pulls it over midwicket for a four and then lofts the next ball over long-off for a six.

The runs are flowing for the Kiwis now after a quiet first over. Latham slaps Ashwin through the covers as Yadav messes up the slide near the ropes to concede a four followed by a single on the leg side.

The field has been pushed back as Guptill collects an easy single to long-on and Latham picks one to midwicket.

in the next over, Latham flicks Jadeja through midwicket for a four with the spinners leaking runs, with the Kiwis scoring 26 runs from the last 14 balls.

Guptill survives a huge shout for LBW against Jadeja with the ball looking to be slipping down the leg side. A close run out chance off the second ball before Guptill gets an edge which falls short of Rahane at first slip.

Guptill then smashes one through the covers to bring up his fifty, from 86 balls. An important landmark for the Kiwi opener, who was lucky to retain his place in the team after his failures in the first two matches.

Ashwin gets Latham to edge one which flies past the slip fielder for a four. The left-hander then punches one through midwicket and mid-on to make it three fours in the over as NZ goes past the 100-run mark, in the 29th over.
