New Zealand off to a cautious start

NZ 4-0 (3 ovs) vs India

Shardul Thakur to open the bowling for India, while Henry Nicholls and Martin Guptill are the two openers for New Zealand.

The first ball is down the leg side as Guptill looks to clip it on the leg side which he misses but picks up a leg bye.

Nicholls then throws his bat at a wide delivery which he misses before he plays out the rest of the over as Thakur starts off with a maiden over

Jasprit Bumrah from the other end. Guptill defends the first two deliveries before he gets a thick outside edge off the third ball for a single to thirdman to get New Zealand off the mark and Henry takes a quick single two balls later for another run.

India's pacers not giving away anything at the moment. Thakur starts his second over with three dots ball in a row, who then taps the fourth ball on the off-side and steals a quick run.

Thakur then has a huge appeal for leg before wicket turned down but captain Kohli doesn't take the DRS and rightly so as Guptill had got a big inside edge on it.

A slow start for New Zealand as they manage just four runs from the first three overs.
