Kuldeep Yadav to Mark Chapman
OUT! CAUGHT! Straight down the throat of Ravindra Jadeja and Mark Chapman perishes as well. This is floated up full and down leg, Mark Chapman goes for the slog-sweep and connects well but hits it flat toward deep backward square leg. Jadeja there takes it right around his stomach and Kuldeep Yadav is pumped up. New Zealand lose their sixth and India firmly in control of the game now.

1
Kuldeep Yadav to Mitchell Santner
Brute of a delivery from Kuldeep Yadav and KL Rahul has dropped a really tough chance here. Flights it up around middle, gets it to drift and then grips and turns away. Mitchell Santner looks to block off the front foot but gets a thick outside edge that goes low to the left of Rahul. The ball deflects off his pads and the batters get a single.

OUT! TAKEN! FIVE FOR SHAMI! That is probably the game for India as Daryl Mitchell walks back now. Shami serves this full again but around leg this time, angling in, Daryl Mitchell tries to whip it away but closes the face a bit too early and the ball flies off the top edge towards deep mid-wicket where Ravindra Jadeja once again pouches it safely.

DROPPED! Rohit Sharma is the culprit here!
