OUT! The New Zealand captain's leading from the front today, not only featuring among the wickets but also shining on the field.

OUT! No miracles from Hooda tonight, and it's unlikely anyone else will be performing the same tonight for the hosts. The all-rounder charges down the track, is beaten by the extra turn produced by Santner and is stumped by a mile in the end. IND 111/6; need 66 off 26

OUT! Both set batters gone in a space of a few deliveries, and India's hopes of going 1-0 up in the three-T20I series are nearly over with Hardik Pandya's exit. The India skipper was looking for a pull, but ended up getting a thick top-edge, resulting in a simple return catch for Michael Bracewell. IND 89/5

OUT! Big blow to India's hopes as Suryakumar Yadav departs just three runs short of what would have been a well-deserved half-century. SKY chips the ball down the ground, but the timing is so good that it goes all the way to long on, where Finn Allen collects an easy catch. Sodhi with the breakthrough, bringing the Black Caps back in control. IND 83/4

After 10 overs,India 74/3 ( Suryakumar Yadav 39 , Hardik Pandya (C) 20)

FOUR! FOUR! Consecutive boundaries by SKY off Tickner, who is introduced for the first time in the 10th over. Surya cuts the ball firmly on both occasions for the boundary. Back-to-back 11-run overs for the Indians, with Sodhi too having conceded two boundaries the previous over. The partnership between skipper Pandya and his deputy SKY also goes past the 50-mark, and at the halfway mark in their chase, there is hope for the Men in Blue.

OUT! Black Caps skipper Santner strikes off his first delivery of the evening, removing the in-form Gill, who ends up getting a tame top-edge while attempting a pull to offer Allen a sitter at short midwicket. IND 15/3

OUT! And now Rahul Tripathi's gone for a six-ball duck, getting caught-behind off Jacob Duffy's bowling. Except the umpire didn't originally hear the nick and turned the appeal down. The Black Caps take it upstairs, and there is a sizeable spike on UltraEdge. IND 11/2

SIX (NB)! SIX! SIX! FOUR! Forgettable start for Arshdeep in the final over of the New Zealand innings, getting hit for a hat-trick of sixes and a four— bowling a front-foot no-ball in the first of those deliveries. And that brings up the fifty for Daryl Mitchell in just 26 deliveries! NZ 168/6

OUT! Wickets are starting to fall in a heap for the Black Caps in the slog overs, with skipper Mitchell Santner the latest to depart after holing out to the man at deep midwicket. Shivam Mavi had a mixed evening so far, but signs off with a wicket off his last ball of the innings. NZ 149/6

OUT! Big blow for the visitors as Conway's stay finally comes to an end as he holes out to the man at long off while looking to go big off Arshdeep's bowling! That could cost the Black Caps 15-20 runs the way he had been motoring along so far. NZ 139/4

Conway c Hooda b Arshdeep 52(35)

FIfty for Devon Conway! The southpaw opener picks up from where he left off in Indore, a six and seven fours along the way and bringing up the milestone in 31 deliveries for the ninth time in his career. Can he stick around till the end and ensure the Black Caps post a sizeable total?

OUT! Kuldeep breaks the third-wicket stand with a wrong 'un just when it was starting to get a little worrisome from Indian perspective. Phillips, who had been giving Conway good support so far, goes for a wild heave towards deep midwicket, but doesn't get the timing needed to clear the fence, resulting in a sitter for Suryakumar. NZ 103/3

Phillips c Surya b Kuldeep 17(22)

FOUR! Muscled through the cover point region by Phillips off Hooda, beating the sweeper diving to his left in front of the boundary, bringing up the fifty stand in the process. NZ 96/2

OUT! Terrific catch by Sundar as the offie strikes for a second time in his second over to halt the Kiwi charge! Sundar had been bowling some beauties to Chapman before this, getting a fair amount of turn. Chapman chips this to the right of the bowler after getting bat on ball for the first time, and Sundar leaps to his right to pull off a screamer. The TV Umpire has a quick look, and sticks with the on-field umpire's soft signal of 'Out'. NZ 43/2

OUT! Washington Sundar with the breakthrough as Finn Allen's fiery knock comes to an end! Allen had dispatched the previous delivery for a six over deep midwicket and was looking for an encore, but couldn't quite time it this time around. Suryakumar Yadav, stationed in front of the midwicket fence, gets in position and collects a comfortable catch. NZ 43/1
