India vs New Zealand, 1st ODI: India beat New Zealand by 8 wickets (DLS)

T Boult to S Dhawan, Swing for Boult! Pitches it up on off, moves away from Shikhar who gets behind it and blocks it out.

T Boult to R Sharma, Comes over the wicket but lands this down on the pads, Rohit flicks it to fine leg to get the first run on the board.

We are back for the chase! Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan will open the batting for the Indians. Trent Boult will bowl the first over and look to make early inroads.

34 minutes to go for the break. Can New Zealand prize out a wicket or two? Stay tuned...

The KULCHA were at it again. 4 for Kuldeep, 2 for Chahal, with joint figures of 20-1-82-6. Shami was excellent with his three. No one was bad in particular.

India did the basics right, keeping the run flow tight. Shami got the ball to move around and the Kiwi openers were out in a jiffy. There was a bit of a stand between Taylor and Williamson but once the former was dismissed, the home side barely recovered. Kane Williamson fought hard but it was a lonely battle.

Guess Kuldeep has described it to perfection. On a batting wicket, where Simon Doull said that anything under 340 is not enough, the Kiwis are around 200 short. And none of the dismissals can be said due to the wicket. In fact, it has been skillful bowling.

Kuldeep says the ground size is small on one side. Mentions that him and Chahal just stick to the basics and get the success for it. Feels that it's a proper batting wicket and that 160-plus is chaseable. Reckons that these games are important for all three departments, keeping the upcoming World Cup in mind. Adds that there is support everywhere in the world for their side and it's amazing to see.

India will come out to bat for around 30 minutes. A poor batting performance from New Zealand on a good batting strip. Even Kuldeep Yadav says the same as here he is, giving an interview.
