India 236-1 (38 ovs) vs NZ | Scorecard

Rohit in total control as he pulls a short ball from Milne over midwicket for a four. The next ball is driven through the covers for a couple and then takes a single and Kohli keeps strike with a single from the last ball.

At the second and final drinks break, India are cruising on 196 for one in 35 overs.

Kohli edges Boult which goes fine past the wicketkeeper for a four before Rohit hits a full toss down the ground for another boundary.

Rohit then jumps down the track and lofts Boult over the off-side for another boundary before he pulls the last ball for the fourth boundary of the over, which goes for 17 runs.

The floodgates have opened as India go on an all-out attack. Kohli smashes de Grandhomme over mid-off for a four and Rohit repeats the shot two balls later for the same result.

Kohli steers the last ball through thirdman for the third four of the over which also takes him past the 9000 run mark in ODIs, the fastest in the history of cricket to reach the landmark.

Santer comes back into the attack but no stopping the Indians. Three singles before Kohli chips down the track and lofts the last ball over mid-off for a six as the boundaries continue to flow, with the duo also raising the 200-run stand.

51 runs from the last five overs as India reach 236 for one in 38 overs.
