NZ 226-7 (75 ovs) vs India 165 | Scorecard

Ishant Sharma from the other end. Colin de Grandhomme turns the first ball on the leg side for a single and Southee clips the fourth towards fine leg for one.

De Grandhomme misses out on a leg stump half-volley last ball as he flicks it straight to the fielder at midwicket.

Bumrah bowls a short wide delivery as Southee plays a beautiful punch through the covers for a four.

Southee drives Bumrah's third ball through the covers for one before de Grandhomme picks a single to point.

Bumrah then gets the ball to come in as Southee is beaten on the inside edge looking for the cover drive again and he blocks the last ball.

In the next over, de Grandhomme cuts a short ball from Ishant to deep point for one.

Southee then flicks a leg side delivery from Ishant straight into the hands of Shami on the fine leg fence to perish for six.

New Zealand are reduced to 225 for seven, with an overall lead of 60 runs.

Debutant Kyle Jamieson is welcomed to Test by a short ball from Ishant which is wide of the off-stump and is easily avoided. He then pushes the next into the covers for a single and register his first runs in Test cricket.
