June 19, 2021 19:34

India 118-3 (54 ovs) vs NZ | Scorecard

De Grandhomme is back into the attack. Rahane watchfully keeps out the medium pacer as he defends it on the off-side, trying to play it late. After five defensive shots he leaves the last ball as de Grandhomme bowls another maiden over.

Southee looking to settle into a rhythm as he follows the script of keeping it wide to Kohli. The India captain has so far been very patient, not chasing the wide ones and waiting for the ones pitched on the stumps to score.

Southee bowls five dots in a row before Kohli flicks the last ball for a single through midwicket.

In the next over, Kohli taps de Grandhomme to point for a single and Rahane inside edges the next ball on to his pads.

The India vice-captain then slaps a short wide delivery through the covers for a four to bring some cheer in the Indian dressing room.

Kohli pushes Southee through the covers for a couple and steers the next ball past gully for two more runs.

Southee goes for the yorker as Kohli digs it out towards midwicket. He nearly gets an edge trying to drive it as Southee beats him with the full outswinger, which moves away quite a bit.

Kohli runs the last ball past the gully fielder for two runs off the last ball.
