    Shubman Gill's drop of Glenn Phillips was the fourth drop from India in this match and they now have dropped 11 catches this tournament.

    Catch Efficiency in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025:

    1. New Zealand - 91%
    2. South Africa- 83%
    3. Australia - 76%
    4. Afghanistan- 75%
    5. England - 73%
    6. India - 67%
    7. Bangladesh - 67%
    8. Pakistan - 60%

  2. NZ 160-4

    The trial by spin continues - India's seamers have only bowled seven overs so far today.

    Five runs from Axar Patel's latest, one of which brings up the fifty partnership between Phillips and Mitchell.

    'He was a little off balance' - Iyer drops Ravindra after attempt at diving catch

    That's four that India have put down today now.

    'Almost a brilliant catch' - Gill drops Phillips at deep square leg

    Another one goes down!

    This is also a difficult one, but should be taken. Glenn Phillips pulls firmly out to deep square, where Shubman Gill makes good ground and has to dive to his left. He gets two hands to it but the ball bursts out as he hits the deck.

    A life for each of these batters now - can they capitalise?

  5. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC Chief Cricket Commentator

    It's not the easiest catch that Rohit Sharma has had but he gets a hand to it.

    It was high and I think it was coming harder than he thought.

    A taller man would've possibly got that.

  6. dropped catch

    Mitchell dropped on 38

    NZ 153-4

    Sharma 'mistimes' catch to give Mitchell lifeline

    Oh!

    Daryl Mitchell gets away with one. He tucks into a short ball from Axar Patel, but a leaping Rohit Sharma at short mid-wicket is unable to hang on.

    It would've been a very good one-handed effort. Instead, the batters are able to run two.

  7. How's stat?!

    Vikram Chandrasekaran
    CricViz analyst

    New Zealand's batters have struggled against the accurate lines from the India spinners and have been struggling to rotate strike at regular intervals.

    They have scored at just 2.6 runs per over and been dismissed four times when India's spinners have attacked the stumps.

  8. NZ 149-4

    Brilliant from Jadeja, giving absolutely nothing away.

    Phillips and Mitchell are trying to do things differently by moving around the crease, but he strays from the stumps so rarely, they're still unable to put any pressure back on him.

  9. NZ 147-4

    Glenn Phillips will be key if New Zealand are going to finish this innings strongly.

    'Lovely piece of timing' - Phillips hits Kuldeep down the ground for six

  10. Simon Doull
    Former New Zealand seamer on BBC Sounds

    If New Zealand were to continue at this rate they'd get around 220 and that won't be enough on this surface.

    They need to aim to get above 250.

  11. Vikram Chandrasekaran
    CricViz analyst

    In this tournament, Daryl Mitchell has been striking at 114 against pace and just 53 v spin. One of the main reason is he has struggled to get going against the Indian spinners in Dubai. 83% of the deliveries faced against spin have been from the four Indian spinners.

  12. NZ 143-4

    Glenn Phillips' counter-attacking has taken some of the pressure off Daryl Mitchell at the other end.

    Jadeja gifts him a short ball to pull firmly for four more.

  13. Simon Doull
    Former New Zealand seamer on BBC Sounds

    How long are New Zealand prepared to stick in and let the dot balls build up?

    Daryl Mitchell is 60 balls into his innings. He's probably got to be the one to try and move this along for New Zealand.

  14. NZ 138-4

    Having been hit for a couple of boundaries by Glenn Phillips, Kuldeep is taken out of the attack and replaced by more spin - obviously.

    India are rattling through their overs very quickly.

  15. Simon Doull
    Former New Zealand seamer on BBC Sounds

    I think a good score would be somewhere around 300 but it can be hard to judge what a wicket will do in conditions like this.

    New Zealand would bite your hand off for around 270 at the moment.

  16. NZ 135-4

    Jadeja's sixth over passes in the blink of an eye as Phillips and Mitchell continue to settle into their partnership.

    If Phillips is able to be there at the end, New Zealand should be in a decent position. It's intriguingly poised.

  17. NZ 131-4

    Another lovely shot from Glenn Phillips, who looks in good touch.

    A little wide outside the off stump from Kuldeep, and Phillips crunches it off the back foot for four.

    Nice battle brewing between these two.

  18. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    It's going to be interesting how Glenn Phillips plays this.

    Usually he comes in at the back end of an innings and smashes it, but there's a lot of cricket left for him to play today.

  19. NZ 126-4

    Jadeja whizzes through another tidy over. He's got 1-12 from five overs so far, including this crucial wicket of Tom Latham.

    'Lovely piece of timing' - Phillips hits Kuldeep down the ground for six

    Oh, hello!

    Glenn Phillips whacks Kuldeep Yadav straight down the ground for six.

    More of that, please.
