Latham sweeps Kuldeep for a single to bring up the 50-run stand for the fourth wicket as four singles come from the over.

Taylor takes the risk against Pandya as he comes down the track and lofts it down the ground for a four as eight come from the over.

Latham uses the sweep to good effect as he hits Kuldeep square on the leg side for a boundary to take his score to 36, from 38 balls, to keep the scoreboard ticking at a good rate.

He tries to cut the last ball but is beaten as it narrowly misses the edge as New Zealand reach 148 for three in 30 overs.

Chahal comes back as India look for a wicket to break the partnership. Taylor gets a lifeline as he taps it on the leg side and looks for a quick single but the fielder at square leg misses the direct hit with the batsman well out of his crease.

He concedes four runs in his sixth over as New Zealand go past the 150-run mark, in the 31st over.

Pandya comes back as Taylor flicks one off his pads past short fine leg for a four to continue New Zealand's good progress.

Latham top edges the sweep against Chahal but he gets just a single before Taylor edges the next for one.

Another single for Latham before Taylor flicks the last ball through midwicket for two runs to bring up his fifty, from 58 balls.

The match is well poised as New Zealand reach 165 for three in 33 overs, needing 116 runs from 17 overs for victory.
