Axar Patel comes into the attack. Phillips slams a boundary and backs it up with a huge six, dragging New Zealand closer. He lets out a yell straight after the shot, knowing he's mistimed it.

WICKET! Phillips goes again but doesn't get enough on it, and Shivam Dube makes no mistake at long-on. That brings an end to Phillips' assault, and India will be relieved to see him go. He departs for 78 off 40 balls.

Daryl Mitchell, the man in form and the one who tormented India in the ODIs, walks in next and is off the mark with a single.
