NZ Inns 2: 121-3 (33 ovs); Target: 540 | Scorecard

Nicholls looks to play positively. This time he sweeps Jayant from well outside the off-stump through midwicket for a four.

The left-hander shows some great defence to play out the rest of the over.

Ashwin comes back into the attack. Mitchell takes a single off the first ball to mid-off before Ashwin gets one to turn sharply and beat left-hander Nicholls.

More turn and bounce for Ashwin as Nicholls is beaten again and the spinner does it again next ball, to make it three plays and misses in a row.

Axar comes back into the attack from the other end. Mitchell slaps the second ball through the covers for one and Nicholls clips the next for another run.

Mitchell takes a single into the covers before Nicholls reverse sweeps the spinner for a four.

Mitchell and Nicholls put have on 66 runs for the fourth wicket to rally New Zealand.

Mitchell has batted well, taking on the spinners, to stroke 54, while Nicholls is on 25.
