December 05, 2021  16:01

NZ Inns 2: 79-3 (24 ovs); Target: 540 | Scorecard

Mitchell pushes Ashwin on the off-side for a single and Nicholls hits the third ball into the fielder at silly point as it goes into the covers for one.

Mitchell clips the fifth ball past square leg for another single as Ashwin concedes three runs in his 10th over.

Umesh Yadav comes into the attack, to bowl the 22nd over. Mitchell nudges the first ball through square leg for one before Nicholls goes after a wide delivery, only to get an edge which flies over second slip for a four.

In the next over, Ashwin beats Mitchell with a delivery which goes straight on as he plays inside the line.

Nicholls miscues the slog sweep which goes behind square on the leg side for two runs.

Umesh has a huge appeal for catch down the leg side turned down before Kohli takes the review.

But there is nothing on the Ultra Edge as the ball went off the thigh pads with India losing their second review.

Saha had done well to dive full length to his left to take the catch but he was not sure whether it came off the bat, but Kohli still went for the review.

A full delivery which reverses in sharply into right-hander Mitchell as he clips it to fine leg for one and Nicholls is beaten last ball as he pokes at a wide one.
