India 53-1 (10 ovs) vs NZ | Scorecard

Rohit flicks Boult to fine leg for one before Dhawan is beaten outside the off-stump. He defends the next few deliveries before crashing the last ball, making most of the width, through the covers for a four.

New Zealand's pacers bowling tight lines but giving away a loose delivery or two in between.

Southee bowls one short and wide as Rohit upper cuts it over the slips for a four and then takes one.

This has been a steady start for India with the two pacers bowling well as they reach 22 for no loss in five overs.

Dhawan looking to break the shackles as he comes down the track and hammers Boult through the covers for a four as seven come from the over.

Dhawan takes the risk yet again as he looks to loft Southee down the ground but holes out to Williamson at mid-off to perish for 14.

Good pressure tactics by New Zealand finally paid off as Dhawan tried to break after some tight overs at the start.

India captain Virat Kohli gets off the mark in grand style, moving across to off-stump before he flicks a full delivery from Southee through the midwicket region for a four.

Rohit taking his time to get his eye in and making sure he makes up for his two previous failures. He punches a slightly short delivery from Boult through the covers for a couple and then drives the last ball down the ground for a four.

Kohli looking in ominous touch as he drives a wide delivery from Southee through the covers for a four followed by a couple of singles.

Adam Milne comes into the attack in place of Southee, who bowled four overs for 22 runs.

The pace bowler drops short as Rohit pulls it over midwicket for a six to take India past the 50-run mark.

Milne tries another short ball, this time much quicker as Rohit goes for the pull again but is beaten and hit on the body.

India have reached 53 for one in 10 overs with Rohit on 27 and Kohli on 10.
