India 48-2 (5 Ovs) vs NZ | SCORECARD

Duffy continues. Abhishek taps one into the off side for a single. Kishan sends the next straight back to the bowler. A slower ball follows and Kishan can only guide it to fine leg for no run before nudging one to square leg for a single. Abhishek hesitates but wisely leaves the next. He finishes the over in style with a boundary. Six from it -- India move to 37-1 after four overs.

Ferguson returns. Kishan swings and misses first up, then crashes the next to the fence. A slower ball is punished as he launches it over the ropes for six, followed by a single. Abhishek is beaten next ball. Ferguson goes quicker -- bowled him! Abhishek departs for a brisk 30 off 16. Big wicket. India are 48-2 after five overs.
