India off to cautious start vs NZ

June 19, 2021 15:22

India 12-0 (5 ovs) vs NZ | Scorecard

Some sharp inswing for Southee as Gill is beaten and struck on the pads but the ball is slipping down the leg side as the openers pick up a leg bye.

Southee goes wide as Rohit offers no shot to the next two deliveries before he defends the fourth ball on the off-side.

He drives the last ball through the covers for a couple of runs.

In the next over, Gill offers no shot against Boult as the ball comes in slightly and he defends the next on the off-side.

Gill inside edges the third ball trying to drive it as it goes to fine leg for a single to get him off the mark.

Rohit then offers no shot to the fourth delivery slanted across him and blocks out the last two balls.

Southee continues as Gill takes a couple of steps down before clipping it through square leg for three runs.

Southee produces a beauty to beat Rohit as the outswinger draws the right-hander into the drive before moving away enough to go past the edge.

Rohit sensibly leaves the next ball which is pitched wide before he gets an inside edge off the last ball which saves him from a possible leg before shout.
