India 45-1 (10 ovs) vs NZ | Scorecard

The two New Zealand seamers have started off quite well with just 18 runs coming from the first six overs but India would be happy to see that their openers have been to hang around and not give away an early wicket.

Jimmy Neesham comes into the attack, replacing Southee, who bowled three overs for 12 runs. He gives away four runs and a wide to concede five runs from his first over.

Rahane breaks the shackles as he lofts Boult over the off-side for a four before the left-arm pacer bowls a big wide on the leg side which beats the keeper and goes for five wides.

Interestingly, Southee comes back after just one over from Neesham. Rahane takes a single to long-on before Rohit turns it to deep midwicket for two runs followed by a single.

Change of ends for Neesham as he replaces Boult, who bowled a tidy first spell of four overs for 18 runs.

And the move works as Neesham strikes with the wicket of Rahane, who flicks it straight to midwicket to be dismissed for 20 from 39 balls.

Virat Kohli gets off the mark with a single on the leg side before Rohit crashes the last ball square over the point region for a four as India reach 45 for one in 10 overs.
