India 72-3 (19 ovs) vs NZ 242-9 | Scorecard

Just like the Indian bowlers, the Kiwi spinners would be looking to stifle the Indian batsmen in the middle overs.

The wicket of Kohli would be a big boost for the visitors as they made a good comeback with the ball after a lacklustre performance with the bat.

Devcich drops one short as Manish Pandey pulls it over midwicket to help himself to an easy six as nine runs come from the over to take India to 57 for two in 15 overs.

Devcich, who has gone for 17 runs in three overs, makes way for pacer Southee. Rahane smashes the second ball back over the bowler's head for a boundary.

Santner is not giving away anything to the Indian batsmen, he has conceded just 10 runs in four overs while picking up the wicket of Kohli.

Rahane pulls a short ball from Southee as Anderson at the deep square leg fence rushes in and takes a low catch. The decision is referred to the third umpire with the on-field giving a soft signal that it is out.

However, the replays clearly indicated that the ball bounced before it was taken by Anderson.

Umpire Shamshuddin needs enough evidence to overturn the soft signal by the on-field umpire which was OUT. However, there is no clear replay to suggest that the ball bounced before it was taken and he sticks to the on-field umpire's decision and rules it out.

So, Rahane has to walk back after a controversial decision after scoring 28 from 49 balls to leave India in further strife at 72 for three in the 19th over.
