India vs New Zealand Highlights 1st ODI: IND overcome Bracewell's fighting 140 to take 1-0 lead over NZ

A dot ball and then Tickner sends one in nicely in the arc for Gill. He sends that soaring over square leg. India get to 316/7 in 47.4 overs, Gill is on 181 off 130. What an innings. 

He sends that over long-on for a maximum and Gill has reached 175. Highest score in an ODI on this ground. 

Safe to say that the double century may not quite be happening for Gill today but there are still three overs left for India. If they can get to something close to 350, New Zealand will have a bit too much of a mountain to climb.  

Gill goes for the run after tapping a full ball to cover. Thakur was not looking at his partner and the two players end up at the same end. Thakur walks out before Latham takes the bails off and that is that for him. 

It has been 23 deliveries since the last boundary. New Zealand are throwing themselves around at the boundaries so as to stop Gill from finding the boundary. 

He has largely tried to give Gill strike and is struck in front. Sundar takes the review but it is more in hope than anything else. There is no bat on it and he looked plumb enough, ball-tracking confirms it. The more worrisome thing for India would be that the boundaries have dried up. Sundar lbw b Shipley 12 (14), India 292/6 in 45 overs.

Oh that's a monster six. What a way to bring up the milestone. He sends Bracewell soaring over wide long-on for a maximum and gets to 153 off 122 balls. There is still 8 overs to go, he couldn't get to 200, could he? Whether he does or no, this has been a monumental innings from him. India are 279/5 after 43 overs.

Latham's gloves are on a roll. Gill cuts Bracewell's delivery square and goes for the run but the bails are somehow on the ground at the striker's end. Umpire sends it upstairs once again, as it turns out, Latham had knocked off the bails again. Only this time it is not given out. Still no clarity on how on earth Pandya was given out. 

Well what just happened there? It initially looked like Pandya had chopped on. Umpire sends it upstairs. Pandya had tried to help the ball fine but the replays show that he missed it entirely and it was in fact wicketkeeper Tom Latham's gloves that knocked off the bails maybe a millisecond before he gathered the ball. The ball didn't hit the stumps at all. One would have thought that this won't be given as out but it was by the third umpire. Quite a strange decision, maybe we will get more information on that later but Pandya walks back without any arguments. 

Hardik Pandya b Mitchell 28 (38), India 249/5 in 39.4 overs

Pandya tries to leave a short ball from Ferguson but can't quite get out of the way. The ball takes the edge of the bat and flies straight over the wicketkeeper into the vacant third man region for a four. It's all going India's way at the moment. 

Rub some salt and chillie powder into the wound does Shubman Gill. He leans into the ball outside off stump and sends it careening through covers for a boundary. 

It would have been an extraordinary catch if it was taken but then one needs to hold on to these to get exceptional batters out. Gill chipped it back to the bowler. It came back very quickly, Shipley sticks out a hand in his follow up but can't really make it stick. 

Short and quick from Ferguson angling in from outside off stump, Pandya rocks back and uper cuts it wide of deep third. 

Well some nice words exchanged between Shipley and Gill after latter takes a single so no fireworks there. Shipley and Gill are hardly the fiery characters that Johnson and Kohli used to be back then so, no surprises there. However, Gill is looking unbeatable at the moment, just as Kohli did back in that Test match, he is on 120 off 101 balls. 

Gill hits one straight back at the big fast bowler, he collects it and throws straight at the stumps at the striker's end. It clocks Gill on the leg and Shipley puts up a hand to apologise, although it is a rather brief one and he just walks back to his mark while Gill limps around trying to shake off the pain. Wonder if this will result in something similar to what happened when Mitchell Johnson hit Virat Kohli in a similar fashion all those years back in a Test match in Adelaide. 

Gill has moved to 113 off 97, Pandya on 13 off 25. This partnership has given India some stability back. 

Pandya edges the first ball of Shipley's over and it runs through the empty slips and third man region for a boundary. 

Full on the stumps from Tickner for the third ball of the 33rd over and Gill flicks it wide of mid-on. He has got to 1000 ODI runs faster than any Indian before him and is the second fastest overall to get there after Pakistan's Fakhar Zaman. 

He converts a half volley from Santner into a full toss by dancing down the track and whacks it past deep cover for four. Moves to 105 off 90 and he is now on 999 career runs in ODIs.  

A six and a single does the job for Gill. His second consecutive ODI ton and his third overall. He has got there in just 87 balls. Despite all the wickets falling at the other end, Gill has never really looked fazed by anything today, hardly ever gave New Zealand any clear chances despite his aggressive approach. 

Well, that has come against the run of play. Suryakumar chips it straight to covers and that ends a partnership which brought 65 runs off 53 balls. Suryakumar won't be too happy with that one, a lose dismissal. 

Suryakumar Yadav c Santner b Mitchell 31 (26), India 175/4 in 28.3 overs

Not a great ball from Santner, short and in the arc and Gill rocks back to pull it over mid-wicket.

A close call for SKY off the last ball of the 27th over. Daryl Mitchell got an outside edge off him but no catch followed and the batters took a run.

Partnership between these two is on 44 off 31. At the same time, there hasn't been any undue risks taken by either of these two batters, which is extraordinary. Gill on 78 off 71, SKY is on 24 off 17. 

This partnership has raced to 28 off 22 balls but run rate hasn't really been a problem for India thus far in this match. They would hope that these two can stick around for a long time.
