Young then gets a single past deep backward point.
Rana gets some swing as he bowls on the pads and Mitchell plays it straight to mid-wicket for a dot. Another dot to end the over as 5 come off it.

Daryl Mitchell is the new man in. Rana bowls a wide ball next.
A dot later, Mitchell gets a single as Shreyas puts in a dive to keep it down to just a single.
Short and wide next and Young leans into it and creams it to covers for a four!
A dot later, Young plays it to mid-on and calls for a single, Kuldeep is on the ball and throws at the stumps but misses. Mitchell was a goner if he'd hit. 6 runs and a wicket come off the over.
Harshit Rana opens at the other end and he strikes first ball as Conway pokes at the ball that angles in and moves just a bit and it lands straight to Rohit at first slip. He is out for 5. New Zealand lose their 2nd.
Will Young is the new man in and he starts with two dots as 5 runs and a wicket come off it.

A dot to start. Width on offer next ball and Conway cuts it square past backward point, to open his and the team's account.
A single next ball before Arshdeep strikes!
A good length ball, nips away from off, Nicholls was caught in two minds and makes a late call to let it go before chopping on and he is out for a first-ball duck.
