NZ 97-4 (25 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Jadhav building some pressure, bowling some tight overs to the left-handers. Latham is content to defend against the part-timer who is bowling with a round action as he takes just a single from the last ball of the over, which finished in well under two minutes.

Axar also bowling a tight line as he gives away just three singles in his next.

In the next over, Latham flicks Jadhav through midwicket for three runs and they pick five singles from the rest of the over to get eight from it.

Nicholls also resorting to the sweep as the left-hander sweeps Axar fine for a single before the spinner bowls a leg side wide.

Latham plays another sweep for a single to deep square leg and Nicholls turns the next towards the same region for two runs.

A change in the bowling as Yuzvendra Chahal comes into the attack in place of Jadhav, who bowled seven overs for 24 runs.

He immediately beats Latham with the googly and he gets the left-hander to edge the next ball but Dhoni fails to collect it followed by four singles from the rest of the over.

At the halfway stage, New Zealand have reached 97 for four in 25 overs, with Latham on 31 and Nicholls on 16.
