  1. 6 runs

    NZ 87-2

    Now Daryl Mitchell goes big!

    He's down the track as well and launches Kuldeep Yadav over wide long on for six more.

    Here comes that New Zealand acceleration...

  2. Henry Moeran

    That sounded very good off the bat. Nice intent from Ravindra, more than happy to put the pressure on the bowler at the start of the over.

  3. 6 runs

    NZ 80-2

    Powered back down the ground for six! Super shot from Rachin Ravindra.

    He skipped down the track and comfortably cleared the rope with a sweetly-struck lofted drive.

  4. NZ 74-2

    Another very tidy over from Ravindra Jadeja with just a pair of singles from it.

    New Zealand are showing real patience, knowing they still have plenty of time to accelerate through this innings.

  5. NZ 72-2

    We're going to have double spin now as Kuldeep Yadav is into the attack for the first time today.

    Daryl Mitchell gets a pair of twos down to fine leg to start the over but the left-arm wrist spinner so nearly gets Rachin Ravindra.

    The left-hander tries to work the ball to leg, gets a leading edge but it falls just short of the bowler.

    India have got to be careful because this partnership is just growing gently.

    We know what Daryl Mitchell can do when he gets set and Ravindra has been given a life already.

  7. NZ 65-2

    Four singles from Ravindra Jadeja's latest and while New Zealand are not exactly racing along, they would have bitten your hand off for four an over at times in the powerplay.

  8. NZ 61-2

    Only one more from the over but New Zealand have begun to settle after a very tough start.

    Rachin Ravindra and Daryl Mitchell are looking increasingly comfortable at the crease and the partnership is now 42.

  9. Prakash Wakankar
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    For a man named after Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid, he is not disappointing so far.

  10. NZ 60-2

    Gorgeous shot. That's a lovely way to get things started again after drinks.

    Slightly overpitched by Mohammed Shami and Rachin Ravindra drills a textbook straight drive back past the bowler for four.

  11. It's worth saying that Rohit Sharma, having gone off briefly to have his finger looked at, is back out there.

    So that's good news for India.

  12. Daniel Norcross

    The tactics have been quite defensive since Jadeja came on to bowl as they spread the field straight away.

    I wonder if that is in part down to the formation of the team. With only five bowling options available, there is no wriggle room at all.

  13. NZ 54-2

    There's no time to catch your breath when Ravindra Jadeja is bowling. He races through his overs and does so again.

    Just three singles from his latest and it's time for drinks.

  14. NZ 53-2

    Daryl Mitchell continues to show intent, moving down the track to Mohammed Shami.

    He's in enough control to know when the ball isn't there to hit, though, and lets a couple of go through to the wicketkeeper.

  15. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    I like the intent. Mitchell is the only batter so far that has done something different, the only one that has had a bit of oomph about him.

  16. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    That was not a bad ball but Daryl Mitchell has absolutely launched it.

    After a sedate start, he is just starting to open up his shoulders.

  17. NZ 53-2

    The runs are starting to flow for New Zealand now as Daryl Mitchell muscles the ball over mid-on for four.

    That wasn't a bad ball at all from Mohammed Shami but Mitchell saw the length early and went after it.

  18. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    You can always tell there's a boundary because the crowd goes so quiet! And it has gone a lot quieter since that dropped catch.

  19. NZ 48-2

    Following his drop, Ravindra Jadeja has a chance to make amends as he comes on to bowl.

    He drags his second ball down, though, to help Rachin Ravindra again. The left-hander cuts firmly behind square for four.

    Eight from the over.

  20. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    Ah that's fine, you can pop those back in easily.
