Taylor looks in good touch as he drives a full delivery straight down the ground for a four before he gets a single from the fourth ball and Williamson gets a leg bye off the last ball.

Spin introduced as Yuzvendra Chahal comes into the attack, to bowl the 17th over.

Williamson takes one from the first ball before Taylor is beaten two balls later, getting some turn to go past the edge. A single each to Taylor and Williamson as the leggie concedes three singles in his first over.

Spin from both ends as Kuldeep Yadav comes into the attack. A single each from the first two balls before Williamson cuts a short ball past point for a four.

Another short ball as Williamson again plays the cut shot but can't beat Chahal at point, who puts in the dive to stop the boundary and concedes just a single followed by another run off the last ball.

Williamson and Taylor looking quite comfortable as the duo pick up four singles from Chahal's second over.

The experienced Kiwi duo showing great purpose, keeping the scoreboard ticking with regular ones and twos, and not letting the pressure build against the spinners.
