Bracewell keeping it full and on the line of the stumps, not giving anything away. Shreyas takes a single on the off-side before Kohli pulls the next for one followed by four dots in a row to the former, as Bracewell does well to give away just two runs in the over.
The pressure of dot balls works in New Zealand's favour.
Shreyas looks to break the shackles but ends up hitting pacer Clarke straight into the hands of Bracewell at mid-off.
Shreyas departs for eight as India are reduced to 115/3 in the 22nd over.
K L Rahul is struck flush on the front of the helmet by a short ball from Clarke, clocked at 128kph.
Kohli keeps strike with a single from the last ball of the over.
New Zealand have done well to chip away at the wickets and not let India boss proceedings with the bat by building partnerships.
