Series: India tour of New Zealand, 2019 Venue: Sky Stadium, Wellington Date & Time: Feb 06, 08:00 PM LOCAL
Kane Williamson 34(22)
15.1
Chahal to Williamson, out Caught by Hardik Pandya!! Successive wickets for India! This is a big one as the well-set Williamson departs. Was a skiddy half-tracker and I suppose he didn't go that hard on the pull stroke. Wanted to time it rather than really clobber it and the placement wasn't right either. Hardik at deep mid-wicket takes the catch with ease. This double strike could dent NZ's final assault although they do have some depth in hitting still to come. Williamson c Hardik Pandya b Chahal 34(22) [6s-3]
14.3
Hardik Pandya to Williamson, SIX, this is an even better stroke! Williamson has switched the aggressive button. Short from Hardik again, not learning and goes the distance. Clobbered off the back foot in front of square through the leg-side this time. Made a crunchy sound off the blade
14.2
Hardik Pandya to Williamson, SIX, cracking stroke! Short ball and he swivels to nail the pull to perfection. There was a man at deep backward square leg but this went finer and way into the crowd
14.1
Hardik Pandya to Daryl Mitchell, 1 run, wide half volley, Mitchell shuffles across once again and drives this to sweeper cover. Might have been another wide if he left this alone
13.5
Chahal to Williamson, 2 runs, this time they get a brace. Williamson works it off the back foot towards the wide long-on region. Call was for two from the start and they got it with ease. Shankar had a bit too much ground to cover
13.4
Chahal to Daryl Mitchell, 1 run, fuller and outside off, Mitchell shuffles a bit and works this through square leg. They ran the first run hard but the deep fielder charged in to prevent the second
13.2
Chahal to Williamson, no run, slower this time, a bit of width and Williamson cuts but can't beat point
13.1
Chahal to Williamson, 2 runs, good running and they get a brace. Drifting in on middle and leg, Williamson works this wide of long-on and they race back for the second
12.6
Khaleel Ahmed to Daryl Mitchell, FOUR, straight over the bowler's head! Mitchell is off and running. Overpitched from Ahmed and it's launched straight by the debutant. Clean hit and to the safest spot of the ground
12.2
Khaleel Ahmed to Williamson, SIX, poor length and it's dispatched! Khaleel's rough night continues. Tried a slower ball again but too short and Williamson just fetched it with a mighty pull over deep mid-wicket. Clean strike
12.1
Khaleel Ahmed to Williamson, no run, slower ball and Williamson can't beat extra cover with the back foot punch. Dot to start the over which will please Khaleel Ahmed but he has a tough job ahead stil
11.6
Chahal to Seifert, SIX, Seifert is putting on a show tonight! The runs just keep coming and they're coming in big hits too. Slightly flighted by Chahal but couldn't deceive Seifert who rammed the slog sweep over deep square leg. Needless to say, it has gone deep into the crowd
11.3
Chahal to Seifert, 1 run, slightly shorter and skids through, mistimes the pull down to long-on
11.1
Chahal to Williamson, no run, tossed up around off, defended well off the front foot
10.6
Krunal Pandya to Seifert, 2 runs, dropped by DK! This was in the air for an eternity and seemed like he looked nervy while trying to settle under it. Never appeared confident and eventually, puts it down. Could be costly for India with the way Seifert is batting. He wanted to slog sweep this but the length wasn't quite there and he skewed it miles up in the air towards long-on. Not an easy catch under lights but need to take these in international cricket
10.4
Krunal Pandya to Seifert, 1 run, fired in, on a length outside off, cut away to sweeper cover
9.6
Chahal to Williamson, 1 run, the googly that stays low on middle and off, Williamson is cramped and chops it off the inside edge towards short fine leg for a quick single - a direct-hit, an appeal, but he's comfortably in.
9.5
Chahal to Seifert, 1 run, tossed up much fuller outside off, Seifert comes down the track, cuts off the spin-angle, and whips it away against the turn to mid-wicket for a single
9.1
Chahal to Williamson, no run, dropped short just outside off, Williamson tries to get across and lap, adjusts after spotting the line and dabs it into the off-side
8.6
Krunal Pandya to Williamson, 1 run, skiddy length delivery on off-stump, pushed off a low stance to cover point for a quick single
8.5
Krunal Pandya to Williamson, no run, straightens from a length, Williamson is fooled and chips it back towards the non-striker, Krunal attempts the caught&bowled, but the batsman is in the way. Krunal Pandya is livid, and appeals, presumably for obstructing the field, but the batsman has all the right to stand his ground
8.4
Krunal Pandya to Seifert, 1 run, slow through the air, angling into the middle and leg-stump, swept away fine to short fine leg for a quick single
