Series: India tour of New Zealand, 2020 Venue: Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui Date & Time: Feb 11, 03:00 PM LOCAL
Shreyas Iyer 62(63)
30.3
Neesham to Shreyas Iyer, out Caught by de Grandhomme!! CDG does freaky things on the field and that's why New Zealand stick with him despite the untoward criticism he often gets. Neesham digs this short and gets it to rise sharply on a back-shuffling Shreyas Iyer, has to go for a flick or tuck from that height but Iyer didn't have the control. Chips it off the soft leading edge and CDG dives full length to grab it to his left with a slightly awkward finish at short mid-wicket. Shreyas Iyer c de Grandhomme b Neesham 62(63) [4s-9]
30.2
Neesham to Rahul, 1 run, punches the length delivery through covers and brings up the 100-run stand. Excellent recovery from India
29.5
Bennett to Rahul, 1 run, short and wide, Rahul slaps off the back foot towards deep point
29.3
Bennett to Rahul, 1 run, angling in from a good length, Rahul works it softly towards short mid-wicket for a brisk run
28.1
Neesham to Shreyas Iyer, no run, gentle half-volley and Iyer absolutely creamed the drive here, just couldn't find the gap as he hit this straight to short cover
27.6
Bennett to Shreyas Iyer, 1 run, full again but this time, drifts on the pads and Iyer clips it away down to fine leg
27.5
Bennett to Shreyas Iyer, no run, pitched up closer to the off pole, Iyer defends with an open face towards point
27.4
Bennett to Shreyas Iyer, no run, full and straight this time, Iyer walks into the forward defence towards cover
27.3
Bennett to Shreyas Iyer, no run, beaten! On the shorter side but not wide enough for the dab but Iyer goes through with the shot and gets cramped in the end
27.2
Bennett to Rahul, 1 run, the call was for two from Rahul as soon as he worked this off the back foot but Taylor at mid-wicket made a fine stop to his right to keep the batsmen to just a single
25.6
Jamieson to Shreyas Iyer, 1 run, shortish and outside off, Iyer sits back and steers this down to third man
25.5
Jamieson to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR, just over a leaping Latham! The short ball from around the wicket angle nearly did the trick for Jamieson. Iyer was rushed into the pull stroke, and only managed a top edge on it which evaded Latham who probably didn't time his jump as well as he would have liked. 8th ODI fifty for Iyer, his NZ tour keeps getting better and better. Will want to convert this into a big one though
25.4
Jamieson to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR, what happened there? Williamson at mid-wicket probably didn't know his field well. He thought that he had put a long-on or a deep mid-wicket in place but there was neither. Jamieson doled out a half-volley on leg stump and Iyer just stroked the on-drive through the vacant wide mid-on region. Not always that you see KW getting confused on the cricket field, this was one such occasion
25.3
Jamieson to Rahul, 1 run, shortish and on leg stump, Rahul nudges this off the back foot towards mid-wicket
25.1
Jamieson to Shreyas Iyer, no run, lovely fuller length just outside off stump, Iyer drives but picks out mid-off
24.6
Santner to Rahul, no run, flatter one on off stump, Rahul sits back to flick but probably closed the bat face a tad early. Got a soft leading edge towards Santner
24.4
Santner to Shreyas Iyer, wide, loses his radar this time and slips this down leg, Iyer overbalanced a bit on the flick but didn't leave the crease, even as Latham whipped off the bails
24.3
Santner to Shreyas Iyer, no run, the slider, skids off the deck as Iyer shapes to cut and he is beaten on the stroke
24.2
Santner to Rahul, 1 run, pushed through quicker, middle and leg line, Rahul sits back and flicks this away to deep mid-wicket
23.6
Jamieson to Shreyas Iyer, 1 run, back of a length angling into the pads, Iyer tucks it away behind square through the leg-side to retain strike
23.5
Jamieson to Shreyas Iyer, no run, excellent bouncer! Shows just 131kph on the speed gun but this looked quick and was well-directed too. Iyer had to arch his back and watch the ball really closely to sway away from the line in time, which he did nicely
23.4
Jamieson to Rahul, 1 run, shorter and straighter, Rahul hangs back and pats this towards square leg
23.2

Neesham to Rahul, 1 run, back of a length angling into Rahul who hangs back to tap this past mid-wicket
21.2
Neesham to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR, up and over! Iyer continues to go aerial but he is picking his spots and also timing them well. This was overcooked from Neesham and Iyer dispatched it with a loft over extra cover. Sweeper cover was squarer and had no chance
21.1
Neesham to Shreyas Iyer, no run, lazy from Iyer! Shortish and outside off, Iyer dabs with soft hands but is beaten on the outside edge
20.6
Santner to Rahul, no run, sits back for the cut and middles it fairly well too, but straight to point
20.4
Santner to Rahul, 1 run, walks down the track to this flighted delivery and drives it down to long-off

18.2

18.1
Santner to Shreyas Iyer, no run, flighted on off-stump, Iyer pushes it towards cover where the fielder comes sliding across to stop the single

17.3

17.2
Neesham to Shreyas Iyer, 2 runs, nice bit of work from CdG. Full and drifting down leg, Iyer whips it with a lot of bottom hand towards long leg, CdG moves to his left and parries it to his mate coming across from deep square leg, saved two
17.1
Neesham to Rahul, 1 run, very full delivery almost close to yorker length and Rahul digs it out to mid-on
16.1
de Grandhomme to Shreyas Iyer, no run, fuller and outside off, Iyer mistimes the drive back to de Grandhomme
15.6
Southee to Rahul, no run, stifled appeal for LBW. The nip-backer from Southee and Rahul was beaten by the inward movement, the ball goes past the inside edge to strike him around the thigh pad. Going well over the stumps
15.2
Southee to Rahul, 1 run, nicely done. Rahul employs soft hands on the back of a length delivery and knocks it in front of mid-on, calls for a quick single and gets the response from Iyer
14.5
de Grandhomme to Rahul, 1 run, back of a length around off, Rahul punches it to sweeper cover

11.5
de Grandhomme to Shreyas Iyer, no run, on a length and shaping away, Iyer shoulders arms outside off
11.4
de Grandhomme to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR, ufff! What timing! Full delivery outside off, Iyer wanted to drive it uppishly but the timing was just superb as the ball kept racing away from the sweeper cover fielder
11.3
de Grandhomme to Prithvi Shaw, 1 run, picks this from well outside off and flicks it through the vacant mid-wicket region
10.5
Bennett to Shreyas Iyer, no run, that was almost the perfect setup. Kept attacking the stumps the last few deliveries and now throws one full and outside off, Iyer is drawn into the forward push and the ball shapes away to beat the outside edge
10.4
Bennett to Shreyas Iyer, no run, once more straighter lines from Bennett and Iyer wrists it to mid-on
10.3
Bennett to Shreyas Iyer, no run, fuller and attacking the stumps, Iyer gets his bat around the pad and drives to mid-on
10.2
Bennett to Shreyas Iyer, no run, nothing shot from Iyer. His feet are stuck to the crease and he needles at a good length ball around off-stump, wanted to steer it to third man but wasn't fully committed to the shot, beaten on the outside edge
10.1
Bennett to Shreyas Iyer, no run, 135kph good length ball on off, Iyer stays back and turns it to mid-on
9.6
Jamieson to Prithvi Shaw, no run, better. Feeds it fuller and lures Shaw into the drive, pushed to mid-off
9.3
Jamieson to Shreyas Iyer, no run, superb delivery from Jamieson. Gives an inkling that this will deck back in, but it straightens after pitching. Iyer is all at sea, beaten!
9.2
Jamieson to Shreyas Iyer, no run, gets in-line and blocks it
9.1
Jamieson to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR, Iyer takes a leaf out of his Shaw's book. Fuller length just outside off, Iyer leans and shapes to drive, the balance is awry as one hand comes off the bat. But good enough to clear the in-field on the off-side
8.6
Bennett to Prithvi Shaw, SIX, 50-up for India. This is a big over for India, 16 coming off it. Short and plenty of width for the taking, Shaw with a horizontal bat smears it over cover. Right off the screws and it hits the ad cushions on the full. So a maximum! Shaw is turning it on here
7.2
Jamieson to Shreyas Iyer, no run, bangs in the bouncer, Iyer comfortably ducks his head
7.1
Jamieson to Shreyas Iyer, no run, overpitched just outside off, Iyer leans and creams the drive to extra cover
6.6
Bennett to Prithvi Shaw, no run, uppish drive, did it carry? Nope, just short of cover. Shaw's heart would've been in his mouth for a second there
