India 189-7 (40 ovs) vs NZ 273-8 | Scorecard

New Zealand's assistant coach Luke Ronchi has come on to the field as a substitute.

Jamieson is back into the attack. Jadeja takes a quick single to midwicket as Saini is lucky that the fielder missed the direct hit, before he plays out the rest of the over.

Neesham is called back into the attack. Jadeja steers the first ball to thirdman for one before Saini survives a leg before shout as he tries to clip it on the leg side.

Jadeja then gets two runs courtesy of an overthrow after he attempts a quick single to mid-off, followed by singles off the last three balls to get seven runs from the over.

Another tidy over from Jamieson as the pacer gives away just three singles, in the 39th over.

Pacer Bennett is back into the attack. He starts with a short ball which Jadeja tries to pull but gets the top edge which goes over fine leg for a six.

He then takes a single to thirdman before Saini looks to heave the pacer over midwicket but misses.

Saini then pokes at a wide delivery and is beaten before he tries to loft a full delivery down the ground but again he fails to make contact.

India are 189 for seven in 40 overs, needing another 85 runs from 10 overs for victory.

Jadeja has battled hard to score 37 from 53 balls, while Saini has made 14 from 31 balls.
