The impact looks in line but Rohit has got a huge inside edge which saves him as Kiwis lose their first review.

In the next over, Rohit plays another cracking backfoot punch off de Grandhomme for a four.

The man is pushed back on the off-side as Rohit gets just a single this time to sweeper cover.
