India desperate for a breakthrough bring back Bumrah in place of Shami as New Zealand lift the scoring rate to score some quick runs.
De Grandhomme goes after a full delivery but gets an edge which falls just short of Kohli in the slips.
Ashwin from round the wicket as Jamieson easily clips it on the leg side for one and de Grandhomme also nudges the fourth ball for a single to midwicket.
Jamieson then miscues the flick as it goes uppishly over Kohli at midwicket for another easy run.
In the next over, Jamieson clips Bumrah through midwicket for three runs and de Grandhomme takes a single next ball to take the score to 295 for seven in 90 overs.
