NZ 131-6 (32.5 ovs) & 235 vs India 263 | Scorecard

Sundar bowls a half-tracker as Phillips quick rocks back to pull it over midwicket for a six.

He slaps the fifth ball into the covers as Ashwin makes a diving stop to his left at mid-off to save the boundary and keep it down to one.

Young goes for the sweep but is beaten and the ball is not that far from the off-stump.

In the next over, Young sweeps Jadeja for a boundary through square leg followed by a single.

Phillips lofts the full delivery straight back over Jadeja's head for another boundary and takes a single off the last ball.

Phillips' entry has boosted the scoring rate a bit. New Zealand lead by 91 runs, they will look another 80-90 runs.

Ashwin back into the attack. Phillips immediately targets the spinner as he slog sweeps the first ball high over midwicket for a six.

Two balls later, he lofts the spinner powerfully over long-on for another six as New Zealand's lead goes past 100.

The flat delivery spins down the leg side as Pant makes a good stop to his left.

Ashwin gets revenge as he cleans up Phillips with the carrom ball, which goes straight on.

The master spinner brings out his bag of tricks to turn the ball the other way as Phillips plays for the spin.

Phillips walks back after a quickfire 26 from 14 balls.
