NZ 100-2 (37 ovs); Target to win: 139 | Scorecard

Just a slip for Jadeja as Taylor looks to play with the bat in front of the pads. Jadeja's arm delivery comes in sharply and gets batsmen leg before and Taylor is quite wary of it.

Jadeja's arm ball goes down the leg side as Taylor glances it to fine leg for a single.

In the next over, Bumrah bowls it too straight as Taylor clips it through square leg for a couple of runs.

Bumrah puts in some extra effort as the ball rises more than expected and Taylor, coming forward to defend, gets hit on the side of the helmet.

The next ball is wide as Taylor offers no stroke and is hit high on the pads next ball.

Jadeja gets the ball to turn a long way off the footmarks as Williamson is beaten trying to drive and even wicketkeeper Pant fails to collect it.

Jadeja strays down the leg side as Williamson sweeps it fine on the leg side to raise the 50-run stand for the third wicket as New Zealand inch closer towards the target.

Bumrah gets another one to jump off length as Taylor is hit high on the bat. A few balls later, he glances Bumrah's wayward delivery fine on the leg side for a four to bring up New Zealand's 100.

New Zealand are 100/2 in 37 overs, needing 39 from 16 overs for victory.
