Without taking any risks, New Zealand are getting boundaries at a regular rate. This time Kuldeep drops it halfway down as Young makes room to slap it in the gap between cover and point for a four.
He gets another four next ball as Jadeja of all fielders fumbles and gifts the Kiwis a four. Young reverse sweeps the ball straight to him but he misjudges the bounce to concede the boundary.
Jadeja has a chance to redeem himself next ball with a possible run out opportunity but he fails to strike the stumps from close range. That single brings up the 150-run stand for the third wicket from 137 balls.
India miss out on another opportunity to make the breakthrough. Mitchell. on 80, gets another lifeline as he mistimes the lofted shot miscuing it high but Prasidh running to his left at long-on puts down a simple catch.
New Zealand looking in control on 200/2 in 36 overs with 85 needed from 14 overs for victory at just above six per over.
India have only themselves to blame as they missed two opportunities in the last over, with Mitchell the beneficiary both times.
A desperate India bring back their strike bowler Siraj as they need a wicket or two to check New Zealand's charge.
He does well to concede three runs from the over including a wide but the asking rate is not an issue for the Kiwis.
