New Zealand have got to keep positive and take comfort from the fact that they have made this crowd go very, very quiet.

And there it is, pure power from Mitchell. That is his plan, that is his strength and he is picking his opportunity perfectly.
Good luck with the tiger spotting in Ranthambore. Made two trips in the national park when I was India, but a cuddly toy from the hawkers outside was about as close I got to seeing one...
Anyway, Ravindra Jadeja gives it a bit of flight to Daryl Mitchell with his fourth ball and the Kiwi batter opens up those powerful shoulders of his and biffs it back over the spinner's head, and over the sightscreens. Six more to the total.

Loving the comments on here, about Life of Pi, in Ranthambore. Hoping for an India win so we can watch the final on TV on the 19th in Delhi before flying home to London. We had a great time when we went to a match in Bengaluru. Come on India!

New Zealand are a team that will fight until the very last ball and you cannot afford to give runs away against them, no matter what position you are in.
Kane Williamson and Daryl Mitchell nudge three singles off the first three balls of left-arm wirst spinner Kuldeep Yadav's fifth over. It is followed by three dots.
The last of which is one thhat draws an impassioned lbw appeal from Kuldeep after Williamson misses a sweep shot outside off stump. Not out.

There are definitely some nervy faces among the India fans now. There are heads propped up by hands on the chin. Others are sat watching with their arms folded.

India continue to provide the gifts. They have given a lot of runs away.

New Zealand hadn't found the boundary in the over, they were searching for it, but Ravindra Jadeja has given it away. Rohit Sharma is furious.
India have been a bit slipshod in the field.
Possibly the worst of it so far as Ravindra Jadeja fields off his own bowling and then shies at the stumps at the striker's end. It's a wild throw, though, and it misses the pegs, KL Rahul's dive and races away to the boundary.
Jadeja gets a tongue lashing off Rohit Sharma.

Just a slight ripple of applause for Daryl Mitchell but he deserves a bigger one. He has batted beautifully. He scored a century against India in the group stage so he clearly likes their bowling attack, which not many players can say!
Daryl Mitchell punches it past Ravindra Jadeja to pick up a single that gives him a half-century. A gritty knock.

Kane Williamson has got to be the glue. His strike rate will catch up, he has got the quality to do that. But he has got to bat the majority of this innings.
Kane Williamson is given a bit of width by Kuldeep Yadav and the New Zealand captain ruthlessly cuts it to the boundary for four.
The Kiwis need to lay a platform, then explode.

Nayab Hussain: Dangerous partnership between Mitchell & Williamson! We need a breakthrough.
New Zealand behind the curve at the moment.

If you were batting first, you'd be absolutely delighted with this position.
An evenful over from Ravindra Jadeja with Daryl Mitchell like a cat with nine lives at the moment.
He is hit on the pad attempting to sweep but survives the lbw appeal, offers Jadeja a tough caught-and-bowled chance and is beaten on his outside edging prodding at one.
In among all that Mitchell still had the clarity of mind, though, to then wallop Jadeja back over his head for six over long-on.

Hi TMS! I'm loving the commentary, huge thanks to all team! I'm a music student studying in London, and I've been listening to this semi-final while plodding though dissertation work. Alex's '_Suez Canal_' joke and a sloth hot water bottle have been getting me though endless reading about street pianos! Thanks again!

He gets into a horrible position there. One where you want the ground to swallow you up.
