Prasidh Krishna to Kristian Clarke. Reverse Swing-In length ball, to leg backing away Slog, mis-timed to square leg for 2 runs, fielded by Jadeja, shy attempt by Rahul. That's the end of the first innings! New Zealand have posted a respectable total of 300. The innings got off to a flying start with the openers putting on a 117-run partnership. Henry Nicholls led the charge with 62 runs, while Devon Conway provided solid support with 56. After the dismissals of the openers, wickets fell at regular intervals, but Daryl Mitchell played a brilliant innings, scoring a patient and powerful 84 to anchor the middle order. India's bowlers did well to keep the scoring in check at crucial moments, and now the big question looms: Can the Indian batters chase down 301, or will New Zealand defend their total? The run chase is coming up shortly!
