NZ 62-3 (8 Ovs) vs India 238-7 | SCORECARD

Varun Chakravarthy is brought into the attack now. The batters exchange a single each. Robinson charges down the track and falls. He looked to heave it across with a cross-batted shot but ends up holing out. Caught by Shivam Dube! A simple catch, and Varun Chakravarthy has his first wicket. 

Robinson departs for 21 off 15 balls.

Mark Chapman is the new batter. Hes off the mark with a single. Phillips takes a single as well. Dot ball to end the over. After 7 overs, New Zealand are 54 for 3.

Axar Patel continues. Phillips plays it towards long-on for a single. Chapman makes room but cant get bat to ball. Samson is convinced thats strangled down the leg side and they go upstairs.

Nothing on UltraEdge, and India lose both their reviews. 

Chapman celebrates that reprieve with a boundary and backs it up with a single. Phillips ends the over with a single. Eight came off it after 8 overs.

New Zealand are 62 for 3 and need 176 from 72 balls.
