NZ 283-4 (44 ovs) vs India 337-6 | Scorecard

India take a gamble by bringing back part-timer Jadhav, with two left-handers out in the middle.

Nicholls wastes no time as he smashes Jadhav through the off-side for a four and then hammers the last ball back over the bowler's head for another boundary to get 12 from the over.

Chahal comes back as Latham sweeps him square to race to his fifty from just 37 balls. Nicholls hits the last ball for a four to get 12 from the over as NZ reach 272 for four in 43 overs, needing 66 from eight overs for victory.

Another risky move from Kohli as he brings back Pandya, who went for runs in his earlier spell.

Latham is proving to be unstoppable at the moment as he flicks Pandya off his pads as the ball races all the way to the midwicket fence.

Nicholls looking to take a few risks as he makes room and cuts Pandya past point for a four to race to 21 from 15 balls.

New Zealand have suddenly gone on the attack, hitting 35 runs from the last three overs to bring the equation down to 55 needed from six overs for victory.
