India 178-6 (40 ovs) vs NZ 242-9 | Scorecard

With the dew increasing quite a bit in the last half an hour or so, New Zealand have done well to finish 18 of the 20 overs so far from their two spinners, who have combined taken one for 89 in 18 overs.

Southee comes back, replacing Devcich, who has gone off the field. The pacer sends down a tight over, conceding just two runs as the run rate constantly keeps going up with India scoring 18 runs from the last five overs.

Dhoni looking to play out Santner, defending the first ball and then tucking the next on the leg side for one.

Axar breaks the shackles as he heaves Santner over midwicket for a huge six, you can't miss the sweet sound it made off the bat sending the ball soaring high into orbit.

Eight runs from the over as Santner finishes with good figures of one for 49 in 10 overs.

Southee sends the Kotla crowd into total silence with the wicket of Dhoni, courtesy of a brilliant reflex catch on his follow through.

Dhoni walks back after a lacklustre innings of 39 from 65 balls in which he hardly got going.

Infact, Southee did well to abruptly stop on his follow through and get down on his left to complete a good catch.

Hardik Pandya gets off the mark with two runs on the leg side before he slaps the last ball of the over for a four.

India are 178 for six in 40 overs, with another 65 needed from 10 overs for victory.
