NZ 227-3 (40 ovs) vs India 284-7 | SCORECARD

Siraj strikes with the first ball of the next over as Mitchell is given out leg before wicket. The right-hander immediately takes the DRS which shows a clear inside edge as the decision is overturned.

Siraj bowls a wide down the leg side as the batters run across for two extra runs before Glenn Phillips takes a single to get off the mark.

Mitchell releases the pressure as he lofts the full toss from Siraj over midwicket for a four followed by two singles to make it nine from the over.

Kuldeep continues to leak runs. Phillips drives a full delivery wide of long-off for two runs before he drills the next through covers for a four as the asking rate falls below six.

10 runs from Kuldeep's ninth over as New Zealand reach 227/3 in 40 overs, needing another 58 from the last 10 overs for victory.
