NZ 194-6 (68 ovs); Target: 434 | Scorecard

Santner decides to take up the ante after the dismissal of Ronchi as he lofts Ashwin over midwicket for a big six.

BJ Watling is also quite handy with the bat. He also looks to be positive, sweeping Jadeja square on the leg side for his first boundary. In the next over, he cuts a short ball from Ashwin through point for another four.

Jadeja has a huge appeal for LBW turned down against Santner, who just can't believe that umpire Richard Kettleborough didn't give it out.

Watling gets another boundary as he cuts a short ball from Jadeja through point for his third four. He then survives a big shout for LBW against the left-arm spinner.

The Indian bowlers being made to work very hard for their wickets with both Santner and Watling looking to score runs.

Watling has been severe on anything short and again when Ashwin drops it half-way, the right-hander rocks back and cuts it through point for a four.

Kohli brings about a change as he replaces Jadeja with pacer Shami. He nearly gets a wicket as Santner is done in for pace and struck on the backfoot but it looked to be missing the leg stump.

A short ball on the body is gloved down the leg side by Santner who looks to pull it as it flies away from a diving Shami for a four.

Part-timer Murali Vijay is called into the attack.
