NZ 104-2 (54 ovs) vs  India 217 | Scorecard

Bumrah making an attempt to pitch the ball full and closer to the stumps to make the batsmen play.

He starts his new over with a wide delivery which Williamson leaves and then defends the incoming ball with caution.

Another leave from the Kiwi captain before he solidly defends the next and ignores the fifth pitched down the leg side.

He ends the over with another watchful defensive shot off the frontfoot.

At the other end, Ishant looking to bowl straight and full and strike Taylor on the pads, who has a tendency to fall over while playing it on the leg side.

After defending the first three balls, Taylor is struck on the pads trying to clip it on the leg side but the leg before shout is turned down.

Captain Kohli discusses with his bowler before deciding against the review and rightly so as the ball was slipping down the leg stump.

A good sharp bounce from Ishant as Williamson looks interested in the pull shot but bails out if seeing the height of the delivery and blocks out the last ball.

In the next over, Taylor gets off strike as he pushes Bumrah into the covers for a single.

Bumrah follows it up with a yorker to Williamson, who ducks under it. The next couple of balls are left alone before the last ball is blocked out.

Just two runs scored in the first five overs of the day.
