    That reminded of the way Jos Buttler played his strokes yesterday. It's like he is barely touching the ball.

    Just magnificent.

    Daryl Mitchell is enjoying himself out there!

    It's a pie from Mohammed Shami, in all fairness - far too short and sits up nicely to be crunched over midwicket for six more.

    The worm shows New Zealand are nine runs ahead of India. New Zealand are 44 for 1 after 6 overs. At the same stage India were 35 for 2.

    That was seriously effortless.

    At the moment everything seems to very, very easy for these New Zealand players.

    That over is not what Virat Kohli ordered as Daryl Mitchell crunches two more fours to go alongside that monster six.

    There is absolutely no pressure on New Zealand and they're showing it.

    New Zealand have been brilliant throughout. Since they won the toss they haven't put foot wrong.

    Ravindra Jadeja is going to bowl the last over of the powerplay.

    After I've just said that, Williamson now looks a bit nervous.

    Target 111

    New Zealand look a little bit frenetic. There's a bit of a yes-no moment between Mitchell and Williamson, followed by a reverse sweep straight to the fielder.

    Is there in world sport a more understated, wonderful performer than Kane Williamson?

    Target 111

    I can't imagine there's a more perfect player for this occasion than Kane Williamson, to be honest.

    He is off the mark straight away with a textbook late cut to short third.

    Wonderful change of speed. Bumrah just rolled his wrist over at the last moment. India needed a breakthrough and they got a very big one.

    Is that the boost India need?

    Guptill was going for it, embracing his inner Rishabh Pant by taking one hand off the bat - except it balloons straight in the air for a simple catch that Shardul Thakur juggles, but manages to just about hold on.

    India need a moment of fortune, luck or outstanding fielding to give them a boost.

    Guptill wants to get this done quickly! He nails Bumrah over mid-off for another boundary.

    Target 111

    New Zealand take 12 from the third over to make up for Bumrah's accuracy at the other end.

    The India fans will be very nervous. Dew is playing a factor already. The ball is skidding on like it didn't in the first innings.
