No protection for it on the leg side and so easy pickings for Gill.

Fourth ball of the same over, the ball deflects off Kohli's pads and goes to the boundary. Huge appeal for LBW from New Zealand, umpire turns it down and Williamson reviews. There is a slight spike on the snicko as the ball passes bat and so it is a boundary for Kohli and NZ lose a review.

That is a fielding masterclass from the New Zealand captain.
