NZ 54-3 (15 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Spin introduced at the end of Powerplay as leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal comes into the attack to bowl the 11th over.

Taylor cuts the second ball to deep point for one and Williamson gets a single to long-on followed by two singles off the last two balls.

A close shave for Taylor as the ball clips Shankar's hand on his follow through and goes back on to the stumps but the right-hander has managed to drag his bat back into the crease.

Another tidy over from Shankar as he gives away just two singles, for a total of just three runs conceded in two overs.

Chahal keeps up the pressure from the other end as he gives away three runs in his second over.

Taylor looks to break free as he cuts a short wide delivery from Shankar through point for a four.

A single to the veteran before Williamson hits the pacer through the covers for another four to take New Zealand past the 50-run mark, in the 14th over.

Chahal makes the key breakthrough with the important wicket of Taylor, taking a sharp low catch on his follow through.

Taylor walks back for 24 as New Zealand slip to 52 for three, in the 15th over.

Left-hander Tom Latham sweeps Chahal fine for two runs to get off the mark.
