Pant taking a few risks despite the circumstances. He comes down and has a wild swing against Wagner looking to smash it over the leg side but misses. That was not far from the edge or the stumps.

The next ball is a quick yorker which strikes Pant on the pads but the confident shout for leg before is turned down.

New Zealand are convinced as they take the review. The impact is on the stumps but the ball is going down and missing the leg stump as Pant survives.

This is turning out to be a fascinating contest between two aggressive players in Pant and Wagner, with both looking to go full throttle.

Pant looking for a few big hits, while Wagner is creating some problems with his mix of quick bouncers and the yorkers.

Ravindra Jadeja is hit on the pads as he plays all over a full delivery but the ball is going down before he steers the last ball past point for two runs to get off the mark.

In the next over, Pant guides Boult to thirdman for a single and Jadeja shows his intent as he flicks the pacer through midwicket for a four.

Wagner keeps bowling full as Pant misses the flick and is struck on the pads but whips the next to fine leg for a single.

Jadeja plays a nice flick off the overpitched delivery past midwicket for a four. He is sent back next ball looking for a quick single to mid-on.

He attempts another non-existent run off the next ball as Conway gets the direct hit from the covers but he makes his ground, and gets a run off the overthrow.
