India 119-2 (22 ovs) vs NZ | Scorecard

Kohli also joins in the party as he comes down the track to Anderson and drives him nicely through the covers for a four.

Rohit looks to swing the fifth ball but gets an inside edge fine on the leg side followed by two more singles as India go past the 100-run mark, in the 19th over.

With Rohit struggling with some sort of injury and finding it difficult to run between the wickets, he is looking to chance his arm and score some boundaries instead of retiring with an injury.

Boult comes back as New Zealand show their desperation to break this partnership, which has gained a lot of momentum in the last few overs.

India sensibly play out Boult by collecting six singles in the 20th over with the score advancing to 110 for one.

Rohit is dealing in boundaries as he steers Neesham through the gap between short thirdman and point for a four. Rohit (66) swings a slower ball on the leg side but Ross Taylor at short midwicket puts down a straightforward chance. The veteran batsman has not made much of a contribution with the bat and has also looked quite lacklustre on the field.

Boult makes the breakthrough with the key wicket of Rohit, who was looking to smash every ball.

He top edges the pull shot from the left-arm pacer which falls safely but the next ball flies to Neesham to deep midwicket as Rohit attempts the same shot again.

Rohit walks back after a good innings of 70 from 65 balls, having hit five fours and three sixes, adding 79 runs for the second wicket with Kohli.
