NZ 115-1 (20 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Change of ends for Axar. He has a big appeal for LBW turned down, maybe it looked heading down the leg side or maybe a bit of an inside edge.

Latham sweeps the fifth ball behind square for two runs. He tries the same shot but this time it goes uppishly, just short of Rahane, who comes charging in for just a single.

New Zealand are looking to be positive against the spinners. Latham sweeps Mishra square on the leg side and it carries all the way over the fence for a six.

In the next over, NZ bring up their 100, in the 18th over with a single to Latham off Axar.

Latham sweeps one from well outside the off-stump to square leg for a single to break a sequence of three dot balls.

A few deliveries he comes down the track and finds the gap through the covers for another four.

Williamson (59) gets a lifeline as Dhoni puts down a straightforward chance with the Kiwi captain looking to cut but gets the edge.

Axar doesn't react much seeing that the captain himself has dropped it. He suffers more pain as Williamson makes room and lofts the next ball over the covers for a four.

Two balls later he sweeps it behind square where Pandya makes a good diving stop at square leg to keep it down to three when a boundary looked certain.

Williamson (66) and Latham (46) have laid a solid foundation as NZ reach 115 for one in 20 overs.
