Zakary Foulkes to KL Rahul
Full and on the pads, KL Rahul flicks it to the mid-wicket region and the call is for two. Rahul turns around for the second, and so does Harshit, but for some reason, Harshit stops midway, which forces Rahul to retreat back and dive before the throw arrives at the bowler's end.

Zakary Foulkes to Harshit Rana
My word! Glenn Phillips is everywhere. Stops yet another boundary. Who says Kiwis cannot fly? That ball had no business getting cut off. Short and drifting down the leg stump, as Rana steps down the track. Harshit swivels and pulls it out to deep backward square leg for a brace, with Phillips sprinting and flinging himself to his right to intercept it. Just two.

Zakary Foulkes to Harshit Rana
IN THE AIR AND DROPPED! Daryl Mitchell, of all people! We just saw an absolutely brilliant effort in the field the last ball, and it is followed by a schoolboy error. Short of a length outside off, the slower one at 102 kph. Rana backs away and flat-bats it straight down the throat of Mitchell at long on. He gets comfortably underneath it and spills a sitter. Harshit had already started to walk off but gets a slice of luck.

Kristian Clarke to Harshit Rana
SIX! BRUTE FORCE! That will ease the nerves massively in that Indian camp. Takes all the pace off from the ball, and lands it somewhere outside off, on a good length. Harshit Rana waits on it, weighs on the back foot and picks the bones out by pulling it over deep mid-wicket for a six. He knew it straightaway after connecting the ball. 34 needed off 30 balls.

Michael Bracewell to Harshit Rana
Sloppy fielding and the pressure is showing on both teams now. This is quick and full, on middle, Harshit Rana swipes it off the inside half of the bat wide of deep square leg. Will Young runs to his left but lets it through. Gets lucky that it deflects off his body and does not go to the boundary. Two taken.

Michael Bracewell to KL Rahul
Good effort this time in the deep! Flighted, full and on middle, KL Rahul bunts it hard and down the ground wide of long on. Daryl Mitchell runs to his left and dives to push it back inside to save a couple of runs for his team. The third umpire is called in to check for the boundary, but the replay confirms that it is a fair stop.

Kristian Clarke to Harshit Rana
OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Kristian Clarke gets his MAIDEN ODI WICKET! He is ecstatic and so are the Kiwis as they see another twist in the tale. Clarke hits the length hard this time, on middle, gets some extra bounce. Harshit Rana is not expecting that but tries to heave it across the line, and only gets a faint outside edge behind, where Mitchell Hay makes no mistake. Rana goes back after playing a handy knock of 29 off 23.

Kristian Clarke to Washington Sundar
Lovely shot! Fuller delivery, on off, Washington Sundar shows the full face of the bat and lifts it over mid off. Daryl Mitchell runs after and dives to push it back inside. However, as soon as Sundar played the shot, he looked in a lot of pain and only managed to get a single by hobbling gingerly to the other end. He was also seen holding his back. Might have just tweaked it a bit.

DROPPED! Another chance goes begging for the Kiwis! Zakary Foulkes hits the length hard, takes pace off once more. Washington Sundar shuffles across to scoop it but does not generate enough power as it flies behind short fine leg. Adithya Ashok, from the inner ring, runs backwards over his right shoulder, gets under it in the outfield, but spills it out. They cross.

Kristian Clarke to Washington Sundar
Overthrows! The throw was absolutely not needed there. Short of a length and around off, Washington Sundar cuts it towards point. KL Rahul wants the run but is sent back. The fielder takes aim and has a shy at the bowler's end but misses. Even if he had hit the stumps, Rahul was in. There is no backup and the ball rolls away in the deep, which allows the single. This is ordinary cricket from New Zealand after being so sharp in the field for most of the innings.
