Speaking of the ongoing match so far between India and the Blackcaps, the visitors are in extreme trouble after losing five wickets only on the score of 22 runs in 5 overs so far while chasing the big target of 235 runs in the second innings.
At the time of filling this copy, skipper Mitchell Santner has arrived there in the middle to accompany the middle-order batter, Daryl Mitchell. The latter has scored 6 runs so far whereas Santner is yet to get off the mark.
Arshdeep Singh and Hardik Pandya have scalped two wickets alongside the one wicket claimed by Umran Malik.
Earlier in the first innings, the men in blue faced an early blow as they lost the first wicket only on the score of 7 runs in the form of Ishan Kishan. But later on, it was Shubman Gill who took the charge by stitching an 80-run partnership with Rahul Tripathi for the second wicket and an incredible 103-run stand with skipper Hardik Pandya for the fourth wicket. Number 3 batter Rahul Tripathi also played a blistering knock of 44 runs off just 22 balls with four boundaries and three sixes.
