Adam Milne continues to keep things tight as he concedes just one run in the over. IND: 62/2 (15 overs)

New Zealand introduce Lockie Ferguson into the attack. So it's a contest between the new bowler and the batter. Pant wins the initial battle, as he charges down the track and connects it well enough to send the ball towards the mid-wicket fence.

Six runs come off the over. IND: 61-2 (14 overs)

Another tidy over by Milne and he also gets the wicket of Shikhar Dhawan. The left-handed batter once again charges down the track but gets an inside edge, which goes back to hit the stumps. He departs for 28(45). IND: 55/2 (13 overs)

Matt Henry comes to bowl his sixth over and Shreyas Iyer is dropped at third man by Adam Milne. The batter sneak a single. If we look at the catch, it was a simple opportunity and Milne was under the ball. He gets his hands, but fails to hold on to it.

Iyer then goes to hit Henry for a four in the same over.

IND: 52/1 after 12 overs

After an expensive start, Adam Milne concedes just three runs in the following over. IND: 46/1 after 11 overs.

An expensive over by Adam Milne, which also gets New Zealand the wicket of Shubman Gill.

The over started with Gill showing his class and whacking the pacer for consecutive fours, before he was caught by Santner inside the circle. He departs for 13 (22).

Shreyas Iyer then joins proceedings and hits the bowler for another four. IND: 43/1 (9 overs)

Dhawan once again does what he has been doing so far. He charges down the track against Matt Henry and plays it square of the wicket for a four.

He attempts something similar, which flies over the mid-on fielder as the batters sneak a double. He then finishes the over with another cracking boundary, square of the wicket. 

IND: 31/0 (8 overs)

Two aerial shots by Shubman Gill as he comes down the track on both occasions, and both shots fetch two runs. The ball got slow after bouncing on the field. The first one was hit straight, while the second one went square of the wicket. IND: 21/0 (7 overs)

Shubman Gill finally opens his account as he gets a single against Matt Henry. Meanwhile, the bowler has kept things tight as just that single come off the over. IND: 17/0 (6 overs)

We're witnessing a great contest between Shikhar Dhawan and Tim Southee. As Dhawan continues to use his feet, Southee bangs it short, which is defended well by the batter.

Southee bowls a maiden over. IND: 16/0 (5 overs)

A tight over by Matt Henry as he concedes just one run. He also had Shubman Gill packing on 0, with the ball missing the edge by inches in the final delivery of the over. Gill has so far played eight balls and is yet to open his account. IND: 16/0 (4 overs)

Shikhar Dhawan is making great use of his feet. He did that in the previous delivery, which went towards the keeper, but manages to connect the second one. The ball flies over the long-on fence for a six.

Eight runs come off the over as IND reach 15/0 after 3 overs.

Matt Henry shares the new ball duties with Southee. The pacer starts with two dots, before Dhawan comes down the track and gently pushes the ball over the fielders in the circle, which races away for four square of the wicket.

Five runs come off the over as IND reach 6/0 after 2 overs.

Tim Southee starts strong as just one single come off the first over. There is movement but not threatening enough to derail the Indian batting line-up. IND: 1/0 (1 over)

Shikhar Dhawan and Shubman Gill walk out in the middle to kick-off the proceedings. Tim Southee will lead the attack for hosts.

The players of both side walk out in the middle for the pre-match rituals. 

As usual, there is good support for the visitors, no matter where the team travels. 

“I would choose to bat in the top order in T20Is, number 4-5 in ODIs and in Test I'm batting at 5.”

India: Shikhar Dhawan(c), Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant(w), Deepak Hooda, Washington Sundar, Deepak Chahar, Umran Malik, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal

New Zealand: Finn Allen, Devon Conway, Kane Williamson(c), Daryl Mitchell, Tom Latham(w), Glenn Phillips, Mitchell Santner, Adam Milne, Matt Henry, Tim Southee, Lockie Ferguson

New Zealand make one change as Adam Milne comes in place of Michael Bracewell in the playing XI. 

India field the same XI as their previous match.

New Zealand win the toss, opt to field. 

"It looks quite green and the record overall here shows that 280 is the average score batting first. It is a firm surface but there is a lot of a live grass on this. Cloud cover is on and definitely there will be a lot in it for the pacers."

The skies have cleared, good signs for India, who would look to finish the match on a strong note. 

The umpires have a chat with Shikhar Dhawan, who is still in his shorts. The covers are also being removed as the Indian team walkout of the dugout to start their warm-ups

Looks like a delayed toss at the moment.

Good news the rain has stopped as New Zealand players warm-up ahead of the proceedings. However, chances are that the toss can be delayed.
