NZ 143-2 (28 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Just singles at the moment for New Zealand, who must be desperate to break the shackles with a few fours.

Dhoni doing well to rotate his bowlers as Pandya is called back into the attack.

Taylor comes down the track and swings the second ball across the line and even though he doesn't time it well he gets it through midwicket for his first boundary.

He is struggling with his timing as he looks to cut a short ball which is close to his body for an inside edge which nearly goes back on to the stumps.

Patel in the midst of a very good spell as he sends down another tidy over, conceding just two runs.

Taylor has got stuck, scoring just 10 runs from 26 balls faced with New Zealand's scoring rate taking a sharp dip in the last few overs.

Pandya bowls a short ball as Williamson breaks the shackles with a streaky boundary, getting a top edge as he looks to pull a short ball for a four to take his score into the 80s.

Taylor looks to flick Pandya's full delivery on the leg side but misses as he shuffles across and the LBW is turned down.

The pressure continues to build on Taylor as the veteran batsman plays another four dot balls in a row.

Just 23 runs have been scored in the last 45 balls since the arrival of Taylor with NZ reaching 143 for two in 28 overs.
