49.3

Foulkes to Rahul, FOUR, with mid-off inside the circle, that's a poor ball. 129.2kph, fullish delivery outside off and Rahul clears his front leg to biff it over mid-off. Rahul is livid, he was probably eyeing a maximum
49
H
Jamieson to Rahul, SIX, 8th ODI hundred for KL Rahul! Full toss from Jamieson and the right-handed batter clears his front leg to belt it over long-on. Off comes the helmet and he seems to be whistling as he waves the bat. At 118/4, India were in a spot of bother but Rahul batted with a lot of calmness and has paced his innings brilliantly
48.1

Jamieson to Rahul, FOUR, shot! 125.4kph, overpitched ball marginally outside off, Rahul makes room to thump it over extra cover for a one-bounce four. Rahul moves into the 90s

W
Jayden Lennox to Harshit Rana, out Caught by Michael Bracewell!! Maiden ODI wicket for Jayden Lennox! Flighted ball, Harshit Rana slightly backs away to try and bludgeon it downtown. He's a bit early into the loft and the timing goes awry. Bracewell comes in from long-off and makes a tough catch look easy. Harshit Rana c Michael Bracewell b Jayden Lennox 2(4)

Kristian Clarke to Nitish Reddy, SIX, 110.4kph, slow, full and marginally outside off, Nitish spots it and dispatches it. Waits for the ball to come to him, brings his bottom hand into play to wallop it over cow corner. 12 runs off the over

F
Jamieson to Rahul, FOUR, fifty for Rahul. He's held this innings together and it wlll be on him to get India to a competitive total. Cross-seam full delivery around off, Rahul looks to drive down the ground but slices it off the outer edge past a diving short third
38.1
W
Michael Bracewell to Jadeja, out Caught&Bowled!! Gone! Wicket against the run of play. Bracewell brings himself back and strikes with his first ball. The partnership is broken and the local boy is walking back to stunned silence. Flighted delivery, fraction short in length and hence Jadeja is camping back in the crease, the ball stops on him and he chips it to the left of the bowler, Bracewell dives across and hangs on with both hands. Just when the partnership started to flourish, New Zealand have struck. Jadeja c and b Michael Bracewell 27(44) [4s-1]

Jamieson to Rahul, FOUR, lovely shot! That's the best of the lot from Rahul. Not much wrong with the delivery - fuller than good length, Rahul presses forward and meets it on the rise, creams the drive in front of square, right between extra cover and mid-off. That had everything - class, timing and placement
36.2
4
Jayden Lennox to Rahul, FOUR, Rahul starting to up the ante. Third boundary in 8 balls for him. He comes down the track, gets to the pitch of the ball and smashes it straight down the ground. No chance for a diving long-on fielder
35.3
4
Foulkes to Rahul, FOUR, second boundary in the over. 111.6ks slower ball that's dragged short, not much bounce on this delivery, but Rahul adjusts nicely and swivels to pull it backward of square
35.1
4
Foulkes to Rahul, FOUR, once again Foulkes is cut away to the boundary - not the first time today. Short and outside off, Rahul shuffles across and gets on top of the bounce, cracks it square and beats Conway sliding across near the rope
33.1
4
Foulkes to Jadeja, FOUR, boundary after six overs. Short and angled down leg, Jadeja gets on top of the bounce and pulls it behind square, beats a diving short fine and the ball has enough to trickle into the rope
32.4
Jayden Lennox to Jadeja, 1 run, shimmies down and Lennox sees him coming, fires it at 100.5ks and Jadeja tucks it wide of mid-wicket
27.1
4
Phillips to Rahul, FOUR, Rahul breaks the shackles! 84.4kph, Rahul comes down the track, moves leg-side in the process and that allows him to free his arms. Reaches for this full delivery and drives beautifully through extra cover
23.3
W
Kristian Clarke to Kohli, out Bowled!! Chopped on! Pindrop silence in Rajkot. 128.4kph, Clarke keeps it simple and angles it into the right-hander. Kohli tries to manufacture a shot as he tries to steer it through point. The line is too close to be attempting that and he ends up dragging it onto the stumps. No boundary for 7 overs and India have slipped from 99/1 to 118/4. Kohli b Kristian Clarke 23(29) [4s-2]
21.3
W
Kristian Clarke to Shreyas Iyer, out Caught by Michael Bracewell!! Shreyas Iyer tries to break loose and perishes. 130.2kph, fullish delivery outside off, Shreyas goes hard on the drive and doesn't get the necessary elevation. Finds mid-off where Bracewell gets low to pouch it with both hands. Good passage of play for New Zealand. Shreyas Iyer c Michael Bracewell b Kristian Clarke 8(17)
17
Jamieson to Shreyas Iyer, 1 run, 126.2kph, Jamieson greets the new batter with a short ball. Shreyas Iyer walks across and lifts his front leg to pull it to backward square leg
16.5
W
Jamieson to Gill, out Caught by Mitchell!! Gone! 127.8kph, dug in short by Jamieson, shoulder high and Gill stands tall to pull it off the front foot. He is unable to control his shot and picks out mid-wicket. A dolly and Mitchell takes it comfortably. Gill was looking in great touch and it's a tame dismissal to cut short his innings. Gill c Mitchell b Jamieson 56(53) [4s-9 6s-1]
16.4
4
Jamieson to Gill, FOUR, 129.3kph, floaty half-volley outside off from Jamieson and the Indian captain latches onto it. A good forward stride from Gill to hammer the drive through extra cover. No need to run for that
16.2
4
Jamieson to Kohli, FOUR, 126.1kph, back of a length, Kohli shuffles a bit and nicely tucks it behind square on the leg-side. Closes the bat-face and times it beautifully
15
F
Jamieson to Gill, FOUR, fifty for Gill. He has looked more fluent today than he did in the first game. Took his time early on and once he got the measure of the surface, the runs have flowed. This is fraction short outside off, Gill cracks it off the front foot and beats sweeper to the right. That was a good over until the last ball..
13
4
Kristian Clarke to Gill, FOUR, Gill's turn. Glorious shot! Fullish delivery outside off, Gill gets a good stride in and creams the drive in front of square. The timing and placement exquisite as Young's dive goes in vain near the rope
12.3
4
Kristian Clarke to Kohli, FOUR, fabulous shot! Kohli is off and running. He was greeted with a loud cheer and it only gets louder with the ball racing to the fence. Full delivery, Kohli reaches for it and rolls his wrists to place the drive in front of square, beat cover and sweeper had no chance
12.2
W
Kristian Clarke to Rohit, out Caught by Will Young!! Clarke strikes! The partnership is broken. Rohit gets a start but does not convert it. Cross-seam delivery from Clarke, Rohit shimmies down and gives himself room, he wanted to hit down the the ground over mid-off, but ends up slicing it towards sweeper cover. Young comes in and takes a simple catch. He had done the hard work of seeing off the new ball but fails to cash in. Rohit c Will Young b Kristian Clarke 24(38) [4s-4]
11.2
4
Jayden Lennox to Gill, FOUR, lovely shot! Gill uses his feet, gets to the pitch of the ball and drives it in front of square. Conway sprints to his right from sweeper cover but the ball beats him to the fence
11
4
Kristian Clarke to Gill, FOUR, boundary to end the over. 131.1ks back of a length delivery, not quite short but Gill plays his favourite shot - short-arm jab off the front foot, places it in front of square and beats Jamieson getting across from long-on
8.4
4
Kristian Clarke to Gill, FOUR, crunched! Gill on the charge. 18 from his last 5 balls. Fraction short and outside off, Gill is on the front foot but manages to crack the cut square of the wicket, bisects backward point and cover-point perfectly
8.2
4
Kristian Clarke to Gill, FOUR, nicely done! Back of a length delivery, on middle and leg, Gill tucks it behind square on the leg-side and the timing takes care of the rest. He beat short fine inside the ring and the fielder getting across from deep square leg
8
6
Foulkes to Gill, SIX, a gift from Foulkes and Gill accepts it happily. Slanted down leg, would have been a wide had Gill let go, but he plays his typical short-arm jab pull and sends it sailing over fine leg. 25 from the last 2 overs.
7.5
4
Foulkes to Gill, FOUR, not the first time Foulkes has bowled short and wide, that's the third boundary he's conceded in the same way. Gill intentionally goes up and over with the cut, clears backward point and the ball runs away
6.4
4
Jamieson to Rohit, FOUR, neatly done! Jamieson goes back to good length spot, draws Rohit forward into the block, but he opens the bat face ever so slightly, guides it behind square and beats short third inside the ring
6.3
4
Jamieson to Rohit, FOUR, the pitch starting to ease, Jamieson into his fourth over and the runs are flowing.. This another poor delivery - short and outside off, Rohit ain't letting that pass, goes on his toes and cuts it over the backward point region, one bounce and over the ropes
5.4
4
Foulkes to Rohit, FOUR, lovely shot! 127.7ks full pitcher and ample space on offer for Rohit to extend his arms, lofts through the line and clears extra cover with ease, couple of bounces and over the rope
5.1
4
Foulkes to Rohit, FOUR, now Rohit gets his first boundary. Very similar to the way Gill got his. Short and wide delivery, Rohit does not miss out, he unleashes a fierce cut and gives Phillips no chance near backward point - raced away..
3.2
4
Foulkes to Gill, FOUR, first bad delivery and Gill puts it away. Foulkes might have attempted the outswinger, drags it short and offers width, Gill gets on top of the bounce and cracks it past backward point. If Philips is beaten then that is a good shot
