NZ 71-1 (13 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

With the Batting Powerplay out of the way, India introduce spin in the form of left-arm spinner Axar Patel, who comes in for Bumrah, who bowled just one over in his first spell and looks likely to replace Pandya from the other end.

A tidy start for Axar as he bowls four straight dot balls to Williamson before he chips down the track and hits it to deep midwicket for two runs.

As expected Bumrah replaces Pandya, who bowled five overs in his first spell, giving away 21 runs.

India looking to keep it tight as Bumrah concedes just two singles in his next over as he mixes his pace quite well.

In the next over, Williamson releases some pressure as he pulls a short ball from Axar over midwicket for a four.

Two balls later, he comes down the track and lofts the spinner over long-on for a six.

As expected Axar drops it a bit short and Williamson rocks back and late cuts it past the slip fielder for another four. Two more singles as Axar goes for 16 runs in his second over.
