Taylor, Williamson keep India at bay

June 23, 2021 22:05

NZ 89-2 (33 ovs); Target to win: 139 | Scorecard

Another change as Bumrah comes back into the attack. Taylor leaves the first two balls before he drives the third ball into the covers.

Bumrah gets the ball to move away as Taylor (26) goes for the drive but gets edge which Pujara puts down at first slip. That could prove quite costly for the Indians as that wicket would have brought them back in the contest.

Taylor picks a single off the next ball and Williamson blocks out the last ball.

In the next over, Jadeja has a huge appeal for leg before turned down against Taylor. The appeal was quite loud but India still decide against the view.

Jadeja mixing his length and speed quite well as Taylor sensibly plays out a maiden over.

Meanwhile, Williamson plays a beautiful drive through the covers off a Bumrah pitched up delivery. No one moved in the field as the ball went in the gap for a delightful four to bring the target down to 50.

Bumrah gets the ball to hold its line as Williamson plays inside the line and is beaten on the outside edge.

New Zealand need exactly 50 from 20 overs left in the day.
