Things have slowed down considerably for India. Bracewell rushes through his third over, conceding just a single while bowling four dots in a row to Rahul.
The pressure of the dot balls earns the Kiwis another big wicket. Kohli is bowled off an inside edge for 23 attempting to run Clarke down to thirdman for a single.
For the first time in eight innings, Kohli has been dismissed without scoring atleast a fifty. His run of scores in his last seven innings before today: 74 not out, 135, 102, 65 not out, 131, 77 and 93.
New Zealand's bowlers, especially their spinners, have been fantastic by not conceding a boundary for the last 41 balls.
India in a spot of bother on 118/4 in the 24th over.
Rahul is the last recognised batter for the Indians with only the all-rounders to follow.
Ravindra Jadeja walks in at No 6, he gets off the mark with a single and Rahul takes one off the last ball.
