NZ 218-9 (19 Ovs) vs India 271-5 | SCORECARD

Abhishek Sharma is handed the ball for the penultimate over. Sodhi starts with a couple, and Rinku does well in the deep, charging across to palm the ball back and save two runs. Sodhi then dances down the track and launches a six into the stands. India review an lbw shout, but there's nothing on UltraEdge and Hawk-Eye shows it missing leg -- it's given as a leg bye. Duffy drives to long-on for one, and Sodhi adds a couple more to keep the scoreboard ticking.

Fourteen runs come off the over as New Zealand move to 218-9 after 19 overs, still needing a steep 54 from the final six balls.
