  1. Ind 267-5

    Need 7 runs to win

    That Trent Boult over ends New Zealand's hopes, as faint as they were.

    Jadeja defends the last ball solidly - and let's be honest, deliberately - to make sure Virat Kohli is on strike for the next over.

  2. Ind 266-5

    Need 8 runs to win

    A wide!

    That takes one run away from Kohli's century hopes.

    Two boundaries will do it for both India and for their talisman.

    Terrific shot.

  4. Ind 265-5

    Need 9 runs to win

    Yep, this'll be done quickly.

    Down the ground for four more! Kohli is into the 90s.

    There's the first of the three sixes needed for Kohli to reach his century.

    He now looks like he wants to finish this in a hurry.

  6. Ind 261-5

    Need 13 runs to win

    Tricky, but doable indeed!

    A flat six is absolutely hammered over mid-wicket by Virat Kohli and he moves to 88.

    The crowd haven't given up hope of a Kohli hundred yet. It'll be tricky but it is doable.

    They could power the floodlights with the nervous energy around this ground.

  9. Ind 255-5

    Need 19 runs to win

    Glenn Phillips' brilliance in the field saves another boundary.

    The equation is so straightforward for India and yet it still feels remarkably tense.

    There's nothing more glamorous than winning.

    India could do it in singles if they wanted to. But is that glamorous enough?

  12. Ind 248-5

    Need 26 runs to win

    Three singles.

    It's not eye-catching from India, but it's effective.

    Prakash Wakankar

    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    At this stage, when you've got the crowd this quiet, that tells you a story in itself. Everyone is tense.

  14. Post update

    Trent Boult, so often the man to provide New Zealand with moments of magic, has ball in hand.

    He's got two overs left.

  15. Post update

    Prakash Wakankar

    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    New Zealand have already saved at least 20 or 25 runs in the field in spite of the outfield.

  16. Ind 245-5

    Need 29 runs to win

    Two off a tidy Ravindra over, as Kohli and Jadeja just go through the motions.

    New Zealand have bowled and fielded admirably but the last 10 overs of their batting innings cost them. Another 20 or 30 runs and we'd have a totally different game on our hands.

  17. Ind 243-5

    Need 31 runs to win

    No need for any risks against Santner, particularly in his last over.

    He finishes a marvellous spell of 1-37 from his 10 overs but it's likely to come in a defeat.

  18. Post update

    Prakash Wakankar

    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    I don't think he's got the luxury.

  19. Post update

    Henry Moeran

    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    I don't think they'll try to shepherd Kohli to a hundred today.

  20. Ind 239-5

    Need 39 runs to win

    Virat Kohli will inevitably take the headlines but Ravindra Jadeja's cameo, which stands at 27 so far, has also been so important.

    Had he got out quickly, New Zealand could have pounced on the India tail.
