Pant, Gill put India in control

Sodhi continues after the drinks break. Gill hits the first ball to long-on for one before Pant misses out on a short ball which turns sharply into the left-hander and strikes him on the elbow.
Pant was through the shot early as the ball turned sharply and bounced off the rough. He works the next ball into the gap at midwicket for a single.
Gill steers the last ball behind point where Henry puts in the dive to save the boundary.
Pant has been kept quiet for the last few overs. He looks to break free as he uses his feet and looks to hit Phillips over the top but it comes off the inside half, but away from the fielder at midwicket for two runs.
Another big miss by New Zealand on the field. Pant, on 53, then miscues a full toss hitting it straight to Henry at long-on, who puts down an easy catch.
That was New Zealand's second drop of the morning. That was quite easy as Henry had enough time to settle under it but the ball gone through his hands.
Two dropped catches sum up New Zealand's poor morning!
