G Brar|9.2|0|44|3
040.240.2: Gurnoor Brar to Blair Tickner, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Brar wraps up the innings, ending the 39-run stand for the final wicket. He raises his arms in celebration and gives a kind of a send-off. Tickner can't help but smile. New Zealand have been bowled out on 185. A short-of-good-length ball, angling in from middle stump, following Tickner as he shifts across to the leg side. He retreats and attempts to slap it down the ground, but only manages an edge that is safely held behind by KL Rahul.
040.140.1: Gurnoor Brar to Blair Tickner, Swing and a miss! Gurnoor Brar bangs in a sharp bouncer, on middle, Blair Tickner has a big swipe across the line but fails to connect.

039.139.1: Axar Patel to Blair Tickner, Landed full, and it slides in. Tickner pushes at it but the ball beats the inside edge and strikes on the thigh pad. There is an LBW appeal, but the umpire keeps his finger down.
038.638.6: Gurnoor Brar to Jacob Duffy, Action replay of the previous ball. Short of a length, on top of the stumps, Duffy swings like a rusty gate and gets beaten.

038.138.1: Gurnoor Brar to Blair Tickner, Ouch! A nasty delivery by Brar. A well-directed short ball into the body that rises at an uncomfortable height. Blair has no room to work with as he attempts the pull, gets a slight outside edge, and the ball crashes into his helmet grill. That completely unsettles Tickner, who scrambles around the stumps.
237.837.6: Arshdeep Singh to Jacob Duffy, Back of a length, on the stumps, Duffy pulls it hard, but mistimes it off the toe end. It rolls to the left of deep mid-wicket and Auqib Nabi is the one who mops it up. Two runs taken. A very expensive over as 23 runs come off it.
8 Over | Run: 181/9 | Run Rate: 4.76
137.737.5: Arshdeep Singh to Blair Tickner, Length-delivery, on off, skidding through the surface. Blair gets hurried a bit and swats it off the toe end, to the right of mid off. Gill cuts it off from the inner ring and keeps them down to a single.

637.237.2: Arshdeep Singh to Blair Tickner, SIX! High and handsome! Full again by Singh, and it seems to be the slower one around the off pole, Blair Tickner bends his back knee a bit to get underneath the ball and smokes it behind long off for another six. He moves to 24 off just 11 and is playing a blinder here.
637.137.1: Arshdeep Singh to Blair Tickner, SIX! Meaty blow! Arshdeep drops it right into the slot on leg stump. Blair shifts to the leg side and swings his bat like a golf club, clearing long on with ease for his second six.
036.636.6: Gurnoor Brar to Jacob Duffy, And again! A bit more effort put in by Brar, short and it keeps rising up over the stumps, Duffy tries to pull, but gets into an awkwardly position as the ball zips over his angled bat.

036.136.1: Gurnoor Brar to Blair Tickner, Beaten! Good length, outside off, angling in at 139 kph. Tickner makes room on the leg side and attempts to launch it down the ground, but swings and misses completely.
135.635.6: Arshdeep Singh to Blair Tickner, Uppish but safe! On a length outside off, Tickner backs away and swings hard at it, getting an outside edge that flies towards deep third. The fielder, think it's Brar there in the deep, collects it on the bounce, and a single is taken.
6 Over | Run: 151/9 | Run Rate: 4.19
435.535.5: Arshdeep Singh to Blair Tickner, FOUR! Hit firmly and with good timing! On a good length, neither too full nor too short, around off. Blair swings with a smooth flow of the bat, launching it up and over mid off for a boundary. That brings the 150 up for New Zealand!

035.135.1: Arshdeep Singh to Glenn Phillips, OUT! TAKEN BY IYER! Arshdeep claims his fourth wicket, removing the biggest fish in the form of Glenn Phillips. Another delivery that is dug in hard, angled across off stump. Phillips looks to smash it over mid off, but fails to get beneath it and can only skew it as far as mid off, offering a straightforward catch to Iyer there. Phillips could not stay out there any longer, and New Zealand are 9 down for 146.
034.634.6: Gurnoor Brar to Jacob Duffy, Play and a miss! Outside off and short, Jacob swings across the line to pull and misses out.
6 Over | Run: 146/8 | Run Rate: 4.17
434.534.5: Gurnoor Brar to Jacob Duffy, FOUR! Streaky, but he won't mind! A bumper, wide outside off.

The ball flies towards deep third, bounces once, and dribbles into the boundary, leaving Arshdeep with no chance as it beats him to his left.

134.234.2: Gurnoor Brar to Glenn Phillips, In the air... but safe! Short-pitched delivery, on middle, Phillips mistimes the pull shot off the top edge and it flies behind square leg and drops right between the two fielders - one backtracking from the circle and one running in off the ropes. One run taken.
034.134.1: Gurnoor Brar to Glenn Phillips, Swing and a miss! On that 6-8 meter length with a wobble seam, outside off. The ball lands on the seam and kicks off the surface, beating Phillips on his attempted back foot square cut.

6 Over | Run: 141/8 | Run Rate: 4.15
433.533.5: Arshdeep Singh to Jacob Duffy, FOUR! Not quite convincing but he gets it up and over! Singh goes fuller now, on off and middle, Jacob Duffy clears the front leg to give himself some room and despite his bottom hand slipping off the handle, he manages to loft it over mid-wicket and pick up a boundary. One bounce and into the fence.
033.433.4: Arshdeep Singh to Jacob Duffy, Dear me! A vicious delivery by Arshdeep! Slammed hard into the deck, short outside off and angled into the body from around the stumps. Jacob Duffy is taken aback by the extra bounce as he prepares to pull it away, but he takes his eyes off the ball and misses. He is hit hard on the side of the helmet, with the visor coming off as well. It clips the stumps but the bails stay lodged in the groove. Arshdeep immediately apologises and checks on Duffy to see if he is okay.
133.333.3: Arshdeep Singh to Glenn Phillips, Back of a length, around leg, nipping in a touch with bounce. Phillips gets on the toes and steers it off the inner half of the bat. It rolls down to deep fine leg for a single.

Coming around the stumps, Arshdeep hits the deck hard, angling the ball in and extracting good lift off the surface. Kyle Jamieson pushes at it without moving his feet and chips it straight to Virat Kohli at short cover. He is not missing those simple chances. The Kiwis are just not being allowed to forge partnerships and they slip down to 131/8.
430.630.6: Anshul Kamboj to Glenn Phillips, FOUR! Punished! Lands it up there in the slot, full and outside off. Phillips transfers his weight onto the front foot and absolutely belts it to the right of mid off for a cracking boundary. No need to run for that.

Nathan Smith looks to go for the big booming drive but without moving his feet. Gets a thick outside edge wide of second slip, where Kohli flings himself to his right and scoops it with his right hand just inches above the ground.
