Kohli fails again; New Zealand in control
February 23, 2020 11:32
India 127-4 (58 ovs) & 165 vs NZ 348 | Scorecard
The Indian innings is going nowhere at the moment. New Zealand's bowlers are content to just to keep things tidy as India struggle to get going with three maiden overs in succession.
India are still trailing by 57 runs and with only wicketkeeper Pant and the bowlers to follow, another wicket at this stage could put the Kiwis in position for push for an innings victory.
A good bouncer from Southee as Rahane goes for the pull but misses and is hit on the side of the helmet.
As per the concussion rule, the umpires have a word with him before the physio rushes out to check on him.
Rahane is fine to continue or else substitute Shubman Gill would have called up to take his place.
Another short ball as Rahane this time lets it pass through to the wicketkeeper.
The tall Jamieson is back into the attack. Vihari offers no shot to the first two balls before he is beaten outside the off-stump trying to drive it and he easily leaves the last two deliveries.
Five maiden overs in succession as India's struggle with the bat continues.
Just 11 runs from the last 10 overs as India have completely shut shop and looking to last out the day.
Rahane finally breaks the sequence of maiden overs as he pulls Southee for a single to deep square leg, the first run scored after 34 dot balls in a row.
