NZ 34-1 (10 ovs) vs India 284-7 | SCORECARD

Nicholls trying hard to break free but is struggling as he misses out on a pull shot off Rana. He pulls the next ball only for a single and Young pushes the third ball into the off-side for a single.

Nicholls taps the fourth ball with soft hands towards mid-on for a quick run and Young runs the last ball fine well wide of Rohit at slip for a four -- the first boundary after 41 balls.

New Zealand struggling on 34/1 in 10 overs with both Young and Nicholls on eight. The asking rate has gone above six with 251 needed from 40 overs for victory.

Rana was excellent with the new ball, with a superb spell of 1/17 in five overs, while Siraj kept things tight giving away just 16 runs in five overs.
