    Gill c Mitchell b Ferguson 26 (Ind 76-2)

    Lockie Ferguson has his second! Two wickets in his first eight balls.

    The Kiwi fast bowler bangs it in short, the ball is wide of the off stump and Subman Gill tries to uppercut it over deep third.

    He doesn't get enough on it, though, and Daryl Mitchell is there to take a straightforward catch a few inches inside the boundary cushion.

    New Zealand aren't panicking. They have kept the momentum in check after the wicket of Rohit.

  3. Ind 76-1published at 13 overs

    Target 274

    Very good over from Mitchell Santner.

    Just a single from it as he rattles off four dot balls in a row to Virat Kohli, who is just getting himself acclimatised out in the middle.

  4. Ind 75-1published at 12 overs

    Target 274

    A successful over from Lockie Ferguson. But any disappointment the India fans felt at the dismissal of Rohit Sharma was soon replaced by excitement as Virat Kohli emerged.

    Lockie Ferguson is seething because he knows he is better than that. It is a freebie for Kohli.

  6. Ind 75-1published at 11.4 overs

    Target 274

    That noises ratchets up another couple of notches as Virat Kohli smokes his third ball through the covers for four.

    It was there to be hit from Lockie Ferguson, full and much too wide.

    You wouldn't want to get out first ball after that, would you?

    Rohit Sharma trudges off and he is disappointed because he was in the mood tonight.

    You can tell exactly who is coming out to bat next just by the noise. The whole crowd is on its feet.

    Rohit Sharma is unlucky there but what an innings.

    It was full, wide and should've been driven for four. New Zealand desperately needed that.

    Rohit b Ferguson 46 (Ind 71-1)

    Dragged on! Lockie Ferguson strikes first ball!

    Rohit Sharma was looking in such good touch but he stretches to try and drive and gets a big inside edge as the ball ricochets onto his middle stump.

    Big wicket for New Zealand.

    How often does that happen? The worst thing as a bowler. A dropped catch followed by a boundary.

    Target 274

    Of course. The very next ball and Rohit Sharma gets down on one knee and slog-sweeps Mitchell Santner over deep mid-wicket for six!

    Oh, it's a beauty but it's gone in and out of the gloves.

    Agony.

    Target 274

    How has that missed?!

    That is a ripper from Mitchell Santner. In fact, it's taken the edge as Rohit Sharma propped forward and Tom Latham has dropped the catch stood up to the stump.

    That is just remarkable. Rohit Sharma has taken the game on from ball one.

    He has picked the deliveries he wants to attack to perfection.

    Thanks, Tim.

    Are you all ready for some searing insight?

    Rohit Sharma is quite good, isn't he?

    India looking well in control of this chase. Sam Drury is on hand to talk you through from here.

  18. 6 runs

    Ind 63-0published at 10 overs

    A fraction wide from Matt Henry with his penultimate ball of the over and Rohit Sharma shuffles down the pitch and follows through with a big swing of the willow.

    The India skipper timed it well and the ball flies high into the night sky for six.

    I don't mind a horn every now and then but here it's 24/7 and that is just relentless.

    It gets a bit much after a while. Painful, even.

    Great batting from Rohit, he is playing so fearlessly.
