NZ 192-7 (87 ovs) vs India 217 | Scorecard

Ishant gets the ball to swing in as Jamieson gets a thick inside edge for two runs through square leg.

He then punches Ishant on the up through the covers for another couple of runs.

Jamieson not holding back. He goes after a full wide delivery from Ishant looking to smash it down the ground but is beaten as the ball moves away.

He goes hard again but this time the ball goes off the outside half of the bat through the covers for two runs.

Jamieson miscues the fifth ball uppishly but it goes to the right of the fielder at mid-off for another couple of runs.

He slogs the last ball in the gap through midwicket where Jadeja does well with the slide to keep it inside the boundary and keep it down to two runs.

10 runs from the Ishant over will force India into a rethink, with their deficit down to 42 runs.

Shami looking to nip the ball back in from wide of the crease. But Williamson is up to the task as he clips Shami for a couple through square leg and does the same next ball.

Williamson then plays a loose shot, poking at a wide delivery as the ball narrowly misses the edge.

He then beats Williamson with the incoming delivery, who looks to defend but is hit on the pads. The umpire turns down the appeal before Kohli decides to take the review.

The point of impact is the umpire's call as so is hitting the wickets and the ball tracker shows it is hitting the outside of the off-stump.

A narrow escape for Williamson but it is Shami, who continues to make things happen for India with the ball.

Bumrah is back into the attack. He beats Jamieson first ball with the outswinger as the right-hander plays away from his body. He gets the next ball in the gap through the covers for a single.

Williamson very watchful against Bumrah, who gets the ball to shape into the Kiwi captain as he plays out the last four balls.

In the next over, Jamieson gets a thick outside edge for a single before Williamson pulls a short ball over square leg for a four and then takes a single.

Shami tries the short ball as Jamieson goes for the pull which he misses. But he gets the next ball bang off the middle as he lofts it straight down the ground for a six.

Shami gets revenge off the very next delivery. Jamieson goes for the pull which he top edges and Bumrah takes a well-judged catch on the fine leg fence to for a quickfire 21 from 16 balls.
