H Bennett to M Agarwal, Poor running from Agarwal! He must have thought that it is going for a boundary. Good length ball on off, Agarwal drives it through the cover region. The fielder chases after it and cleans it up. Agarwal took the first run slowly and only two taken in the end.

H Bennett to P Shaw, MISFIELD AND FOUR! This is not the way you would want to start an innings. Bennett starts with a full delivery on off, Shaw drives it to mid off. Blundell dives but the ball goes past him and into the long off fence.

11:43 (IST) Feb 08

We are all set to begin the run chase! The Kiwi players are out in the middle to defend 273. Prithvi Shaw and Mayank Agarwal follow them out in the middle. Hamish Bennett will start the proceedings with the ball.

11:27 (IST) Feb 08

274 to win. Should not be too much of a problem for the Indians. They could have chased 50-60 less but the batsmen get another opportunity to score some runs under the belt. Especially the openers. Stay tuned.

Excellent comeback by India. At one stage, they were staring at a total in excess of 300. But Shardul Thakur got them back in the game. First, he dismissed Tom Blundell and then, three overs later, produced a spectacular throw to run Martin Guptill out. Saini was impeccable, although wicketless while Chahal and Jadeja applied the choke perfectly. 20-0-93-4 between them. Jasprit Bumrah continues to be a worry. Since injury, he looks a shade of himself, not producing those magical inswingers or outswingers or even the yorkers. Today, he even went for runs. India will hope that he is truly fit.
