NZ Inns 2: 55-3 (17 ovs); Target: 540 | Scorecard

Taylor pushes forward to Axar as he gets a thick inside edge which goes past substitute Suryakumar Yadav at short leg.

Two balls later, he enjoys another slice of luck. He looks to loft Axar over the leg side but misses it completely as the ball narrowly misses the leg stump.

The umpire rules that there was some inside edge on it as he gives it runs.

Taylor comes down the track and drives Axar to mid-off for a quick single before Mitchell gets a leading edge off the last ball.

Taylor's struggling knock finally comes to an end! He attempts to slog sweep Ashwin but miscues it high on the leg side and is caught by Pujara for six.

Poor batting from the inexperienced Taylor as he looks to hit his way out of trouble, but ends up giving his wicket away.

New Zealand are three down already and with 28 overs left in the day, it remains to be seen if they can survive the day.

Mitchell gets an inside edge off the third ball for a single before Henry Nicholls watchfully keeps out the rest of the over.
