India 95-1 (18 ovs) vs NZ | Scorecard

While Santner has been bowling tight, with the Indian batsmen content to play it safe against him, they are looking to be positive against Sodhi.

Kohli, on 8, gets a lifeline as he smashes one straight back but Sodhi can't take a sharp return catch on his left. If you remember, Kohli was dropped on 6 in the third ODI in Mohali, and he made the Kiwis pay big time by hammering a match-winning 154 not out. It remains to be seen how much scores today, but New Zealand won't breathe easy till he is dismissed.

Rohit comes down the track and lofts Sodhi straight back over his head for his second six and gets two runs from the last ball to the thirdman region.

Corey Anderson comes into the attack, replacing Santner, who bowled a good first spell of three overs for 10 runs.

Four singles from Anderson's first over before Rohit again goes after Sodhi. He hits the third ball through point for a four to bring up his fifty, from 49 balls. He slog sweeps the last ball of the over high over the midwicket fence to continue his attacking approach against Sodhi.
