7:14pm:

WICKET! Controversy. The last ball of the 49th over sees Neesham skied by Pandya, where Boult makes a brilliant running catch over his shoulder.
Pandya's not walking though. He's claiming a no-ball for height. The umpires check upstairs, and it's fine. Pandya dismissed for a rapid-fire 45 from 22.
Mohammed Shami in at 10.
6:10pm:
IND 223/7: 47 overs - Pandya 22*, Kumar 1*
Pandya now taking Astle apart. He smokes the leggie for six over midwicket from the second ball of the 47th over. He follows it up with another one, this time over cover! Astle under pressure now. Make that three in a row! This one much straighter, what does Astle do?
He goes wide, Pandya leaves expecting the umpire to step in, but he doesn't dot ball. Another wider one to finish, Pandya leaves.

5:20pm:
IND 129/5: 35 overs - Rayudu 52*, Jadhav 4*

5:06pm:
IND 116/: 31.5 overs - Rayudu 44*, Jadhav 0*
WICKET! The partnership is broken by a run out! Shankar pushes a ball straight, and Rayudu hesitates in the middle. A mix up between the two batsmen sees Neesham fire the ball into Munro at the bowler's end, taking the bails off with a direct hit on the relay.
Shankar the man to go, run out for 45. Kedar Jadhav the new batsman.
5:01pm:

Todd Astle introduced for the first time.
4:44pm:
IND 88/4: 25 overs - Rayudu 29*, Shankar 32*
Santner comes into the attack and creates an opportunity, with Rayudu slicing one that Nicholls at point just couldn't reach on the edge of the circle! The first over of spin goes for seven runs, and that's the halfway stage of the innings.
4:37pm:
IND 78/4: 23 overs - Rayudu 24*, Shankar 27*
Fifty partnership between these two. Rayudu flicks de Grandhomme off his hip for four, before following it up with a six down over long on!
4:28pm
IND 57/4: 20 overs - Rayudu 12*, Shankar 20*
With 20 overs gone, Neesham and de Grandhomme are struggling to get the same kind of movement that Boult and Henry did at the top. As a result, India are slowly but surely fighting their way back into this innings, this partnership now 39 from 63.
4:09pm:
IND 40/4: 16 overs - Rayudu 3*, Shankar 12*
We're into drinks after the first hour, no question belonging to the Black Caps. This pair are starting to rebuild though, so far putting on 22 - the biggest partnership of the innings so far.
3:58pm:
IND 28/4: 13 overs - Rayudu 1*, Shankar 6*
Thirteen overs gone, India in real strife. Henry and Boult have bowled unchanged for the opening part of this innings, both getting the ball to move in the air and off the pitch. That's about to change though, Neesham coming into the attack.
3:44pm:
IND 18/4: 9.3 overs - Rayudu 1*, Shankar 0*
WICKET! Dhoni can't survive this one though! Boult cleans him up with a perfect left-armers delivery! It nips back towards off-stump, with Dhoni too slow to keep it out, gone bowled.
Dhoni goes for just one, Vijay Shankar given a promotion amid the chaos.
3:37pm:
IND 17/3: 8.1 overs - Rayudu 1*, Dhoni 0*
Here we go! Dhoni is hit on the pad bang in front by Henry and the umpire says not out. Williamson reviews straight away. No bat involved, is it hitting the stumps?
No! Ball tracking says missing leg. Dhoni survives.
3:30pm:
IND 17/3: 7 overs - Rayudu 1*, Dhoni 0*
WICKET! Three down and Henry has two! A back-of-a-length ball sees Gill fending at a ball outside off. He can only chip the ball to Santner at cover, doing well to take a smart low catch.
Gill out for seven, MS Dhoni the new batsman with his team in trouble.
3:24pm:
IND 12/2: 5.5 overs - Gill 5*, Rayudu 0*
WICKET! Boult joins the party! A short, wide ball from Boult has Dhawan looking to cut over third man, but there's not enough pace on the ball to go the distance. Henry takes a simple catch on the boundary.
Dhawan goes for six, Ambati Rayudu the new man.
3:17pm:
IND 8/1: 4.1 overs - Dhawan 5*, Gill 0*

Boult appeals, umpire says not out. Possibility of bat first. Williamson won't challenge. Replays show no bat involved.
Fourth ball is just a tad shorter, defended by Sharma. Fifth ball is wide again, Sharma leaves. Replays show that the LBW decision wouldn't have been overturned. Final ball is straighter, Sharma defends to midwicket, maiden over.
3:03pm:
IND 1/0: 1 over - Sharma 1*, Dhawan 0*
Matt Henry with the ball first up, Sharma on strike. The first ball is just back of a good length and straight, Sharma defends.
Second ball slightly fuller, Sharma pushes down the ground for no run. Third ball is wider outside off, moving away from the right hander, Sharma leaves alone. Fifth ball is an absolute beauty, moving past the outside edge of Sharma's bat.
Final ball of the over is wide, Sharma cuts but Williamson does well at point to make a stop, just a single from the opening over.

PREVIEW
After slightly saving face with an emphatic eight wicket win over the tourists in Hamilton, the Black Caps head to the capital looking to at least finish the series on a high note.
Kane Williamson's side will be buoyed after having skittled India for 92 in Hamilton, looking to capitalise on the absence of Virat Kohli, however the return of MS Dhoni will certainly give the tourists a boost.
For the Black Caps, Martin Guptill is missing having injured his back in training yesterday, allowing for a quick return to the top of the order for Colin Munro.
