'Silence falls around the ground' - Axar caught at long-off by O'Rourke
Bracewell strikes in his final over!
Axar Patel tries to whack another six down the ground, but picks out Will O'Rourke at long-off for a simple catch.
New Zealand are still scrapping.

It was tossed up and it was straight from Mitchell Santner.
KL Rahul is such an elegant player to watch. He doesn't overhit the ball.
Target 252
Big.
Santner loops one up to tempt KL Rahul into playing a big shot, and he takes the bait... by launching it straight down the ground for six.
Target 252
Michael Bracewell has bowled beautifully, with 1-27 from his nine overs.
61 required from the final 10.
Image source, CricVizHere is that drop from a few overs ago.
Thankfully for Kyle Jamieson, Shreyas Iyer was only able to add four more.
'He covers his face in anguish!' - Jamieson drops easy catch to let Shreyas off
Target 252
Axar's slog sweep sails over deep square leg for six
Oh, that's one way to respond to the wicket.
Axar Patel slog sweeps for six!
Ramiz Raja
Former Pakistan captain on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
Absolutely brilliantly done by Rachin Ravindra.
He took a blinder and Shreyas Iyer's luck has run out.
Shreyas c Ravindra b Santner 48 (Ind 183-4)
'New Zealand have the wicket they were craving!' - Ravindra's catch dismisses Shreyas
The skipper strikes!
A little short from Mitch Santner and Shreyas Iyer tries to pull it round the corner, but picks out a diving Rachin Ravindra at short fine leg.
A huge celebration from New Zealand, and Kyle Jamieson breathes a sigh of relief.
Target 252
India are starting to pull away.
Axar Patel pulls a short ball from Will O'Rourke for four, with this partnership now worth 61.
Ramiz Raja
Former Pakistan captain on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
What a miss. It was the opportunity for New Zealand. What a moment in this contest.
They worked so hard to get that opportunity and then they grassed it.
Henry Moeran
Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
It was in, it was out. I can't believe he's dropped that.
Ind 176-3
'He covers his face in anguish!' - Jamieson drops easy catch to let Shreyas off
Put down next ball!
This is a shocker. Shreyas Iyer attempts another big shot but plinks it straight to Kyle Jamieson at long-on, but he's somehow spilled it.
Phillips is seething and Jamieson can't believe it as he buries his head in his hands.
'Sailing into the top tier!' - Shreyas hits enormous six
Oh, huge.
Shreyas Iyer gets hold of a fuller delivery from Glenn Phillips and launches it 109 metres.
Target 252
Interesting move.
Back to pace, but it's not particularly threatening as five runs come pretty easily from Will O'Rourke's over.
Spin has accounted for all three India wickets so far.
'He looks dismayed!' - Sharma's impressive innings ended by Latham stumping

Former Pakistan captain on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
New Zealand need a lot of luck. They need to break this partnership and there's a reason why India are favourites.
Credit to New Zealand for slowing them down though.
Target 252
New Zealand skipper Mitch Santner scratches his chin thoughtfully from mid-off, as he considers his best way of breaking this partnership, which is starting to become a little frustrating for them.
Shreyas Iyer, with 35 from 50 balls so far, is the one they're after.
Henry Moeran
Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
What we wanted from a neutral perspective was a bit of jeopardy in this chase, and we're getting hints of that now.
Target 252
Another quiet over from Michael Bracewell.
93 from 96 balls required for India.
Ramiz Raja
Former Pakistan captain on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
India need to play this passage as safely as possible.
Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jedeja can be very effective for fewer overs but if they have to bat over a long period, it could be tough.
India are worming their way ahead...
