NZ 85-4 (30 ovs); Target: 434 | Scorecard

A break for Jadeja after a good first spell of 10 overs for eight runs as he is replaced by Yadav, who gets his first bowl of the day.

He starts with a wide half volley which Ronchi crashes through the covers for a four for another confident shot.

Ronchi is looking good out in the middle. This time he decides to target India's best bowler, clubbing Ashwin down the ground over long-on for a six.

Ashwin nearly bags another wicket as left-hander Santner sees one spin big past the edge of the bat. Another quiet over from Yadav follows before Ashwin is rested after a superb first spell of three for 60 in 13 overs, making way for Shami.

The two spinners get a break with Shami and Yadav bowling in tandem. Ronchi guides a wide delivery from Shami through point for a four to take New Zealand to 85 for four in 30 overs, still needing 349 runs for victory.
