October 20, 2016  14:38


NZ 85-1 (15 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Bumrah has a huge appeal for LBW turned down against Williamson, who had shuffled across, but the ball was clearly slipping down the leg side.

Williamson has hogged majority of the strike since his arrival at the crease and he has done well to rally his team after the early wicket.

Four dot balls in a row before Williamson looks to loft it over mid-off but fails to get enough elevation. Pandya at mid-off dives forward to his left but fails to get his hands under a low catch.

Latham drills the last ball of the over through the covers for a four to continue New Zealand's good scoring rate in the last few overs.

Change in bowling for India as leg-spinner Amit Mishra replaces Axar, who went for 16 runs his previous over.

He starts with a full delivery on the leg stump which Williamson sweeps behind square for a four to bring up his fifty in style, from 56 balls.

Two balls later, Williamson comes down the track and takes the ball on the full, lofting it over mid-on for another four.

Mishra manages to keep it quiet, bowling three dot balls in a row.

New Zealand have lifted the tempo, scoring 30 runs from the last three overs to reach 85 for one in 15 overs.
