NZ 28-0 (7ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Bumrah tries a good short ball slanting in as Guptill ducks under it. Another short ball follows as Guptill tries to play the ramp shot this time but doesn't have enough room with the ball coming in. He somehow manages to ramp the ball over the wicketkeeper for a four.

Guptill is expecting a full delivery next ball as he takes a couple of steps down and lofts Bumrah over the covers for another four before he takes a single off the last ball.

Just seven came from the first four overs, before New Zealand have rallied to hit 19 from the last two overs, to take the score to 26 for no loss in six overs.

Navdeep Saini comes into the attack as he replaces Thakur, who went for some runs in his previous over.

A single to Guptill off the second ball to mid-off and Nicholls gets a leg bye two balls later as he misses the clip on the leg side.

Saini bowls a quick short ball but this time no ramp shot from Guptill as he is happy to let it go and offers no shot to the last ball as well as Saini makes a tidy start.
