  1. Ind 104-3published at 25 overs

    Shreyas 44, Axar 26

    Michael Bracewell is pinged for a wide down the leg side as Shreyas nearly feathers it through to the keeper. Will India be sub-100 at the halfway mark? There's another wide.

    And there is the 100 up which is gleefully received in the stands as Shreyas plays a flamboyant flay for four.

  2. Ind 96-3published at 24 overs

    Shreyas Iyer is working hard for his runs, manouevring the ball nicely through the off side and finding the gaps, before Axar Patel slogs a sweep into the air...but safe!

    Speaking of which...

  4. Ind 90-3published at 23 overs

    Just two off the over but crucially maybe India haven't lost a wicket for an age now. They can hit the smash it button with wickets in hand.

    Michael Bracewell continues to trundle in, this spin pairing are racing through the middle overs. The BBC Sport pack are predicting a range of scores between 250-280 for India.

  6. Ind 88-3published at 22 overs

    Another rapid over, just four from it.

    A boundary is a nice way to commemorate the 50 partnership and India are starting to rebuild.

  8. Ind 84-3published at 21 overs

    Apparently Glenn Phillips is working on getting his pilot's license when he's not catching fliers in the gully. Course he is.

    Another very tidy over of spin but that's a 50 partnership for Shreyas and Axar. Rebuilding, recovering as Axar ends the over with a nice chopped boundary past third man.

  9. Ind 78-3published at 20 overs

    More good fielding saves a single. What's a good score from here for India? The predictor says they'll get to 258.

    Bracewell mixes up his pace and length, a hard man to get away. Also, importantly, he has a tremendous moustache.

    Michael Bracewell is the new bowler for NZ, spin at both ends.

  12. Ind 72-3published at 18 overs

    And he finds one, the NZ skipper getting control to restrict India to just two singles.

    Mitch Santner needs a tidy one now to quell this attack.

    Shot! I don't know what Shreyas Iyer had during the drinks break but I'll have some. That's a wonderful pull for four, nearly six, and the gas pedal has well and truly been pressed.

    That's 24 runs off two.

    Good shot! Shreyas Iyer is back and waiting for a short one from Will O'Rourke and manages to send him away for four into the leg side, a nice heave.

    The crowd are up, maybe sensing a change in momentum here. Ahhh that's a brilliant shot!! Through the offside this time, just leans onto the ball and lofts it over cover for a sweet boundary.

    If every GP had reactions like that we'd all be able to get an appointment etc...

    To truly convey how ridiculous that catch was they should play the replay from square leg in real time. Reactions and athleticism 11/10.

    Are we going to need a special category in the tournament awards - Glenn Phillips Catch of the Tournament?

  18. drinks break

    Boy did they need that. As badly as they probably needed the drinks which have just come on.

  19. Ind 57-3published at 16 overs

    Good response from Santner, almost finding an edge. But that's a positive over for India, Shreyas sweeping fine for three and that's 11 off the over...

    Goodness me a boundary. It had been over 50 balls since we'd seen one.
