Daryl Mitchell bats.

NZ 183-5 (52 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

New Zealand looking to ensure the momentum doesn't get affected as they pick five singles off Jadeja's 14th over.

Ashwin gets some sharp turn as Phillips gets an inside edge but away from short leg before he hits the next wide of long-off for two runs.

Phillips hits the spinner to the fielder at long-off for a single and Mitchell blocks the last ball.

Ashwin has failed to claim a wicket in 13 overs bowled so far. It won't be soon before India bring back Sundar for one more spell before tea.

Even the umpires' shirts are completely drenched owing to the high humidity. Jadeja rushes through his 15th over, conceding just a single off the last ball to Phillips.

Ashwin switches his line to over the wicket. Phillips clips the second ball for a single before Mitchell lofts the next over the covers for a four.

He then takes a single to complete his half-century from 90 balls, to end his poor run with the bat in the series so far.
