A slight halt in play as Daryl Mitchell seems to be struggling with his fitness here. The physio is out and working the hamstrings a bit. Mitchell holds the key for New Zealand and they will try their best to keep him going.

32.4 overs (0 Run) OUT! LBW! Mohammed Shami has four now! The game has completely changed in the space of three balls here. Tom Latham’s miserable tournament continues as he goes back for a duck. Shami lands this around the good length, on middle, angling in and skids through as well, Tom Latham looks to flick it away but closes the face way too early and plays all over it to get hit on the pads right in front of the stumps. A huge appeal for LBW and up goes the finger. New Zealand four down now!
32.3 overs (0 Run) Fuller again and on off, Tom Latham strides forward and pushes it towards short covers.
Tom Latham walks out to bat in a precarious situation.
32.2 overs (0 Run) OUT! TAKEN! Who else? It is that man Mohammed Shami again who gets the breakthrough for India, his 50th ODI World Cup wicket. He redeems himself for that dropped catch and sends the Kiwi skipper back to the hut. This is fuller in length and on the pads. Kane Williamson tries to pick it up from there and whip it away but fails to get the timing right as the ball goes high in the air towards deep square leg where Suryakumar Yadav settles under it and pouches it safely. Williamson turns away in disappointment as New Zealand lose their third wicket. The crowd has come alive again here!
32.1 overs (1 Run) HUNDRED FOR MITCHELL! He gets his second century against India in this World Cup and this has been a brilliant knock from him, but he knows the job is not done here. This is on a good length and on middle, Daryl Mitchell works it through square leg for a single.
31.6 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Kane Williamson spoils the over for India! Ravindra Jadeja drags his length back this time, on middle, Kane Williamson quickly moves back and heaves it away towards the wide long on fence for a boundary.

31.4 overs (0 Run) Oh..some turn there! This is flaoted, short and around of, grips and turns away a long way, Daryl Mitchell is nowhere near to play that.
31.3 overs (0 Run) A bit short again, on middle, Daryl Mitchell stays back and knocks it back to the bowler.
31.2 overs (0 Run) Flatter, full and on off, Daryl Mitchell blocks it towards short covers.

Drinks break! Pheww! What a topsy-turvy game this is turning out to be and we are in a completely different scenario than we were at the last refreshments break. Daryl Mitchell and Kane Williamson have countered extremely well and Mitchell in particular seems to be playing an inning of a lifetime here. Still, India have the upper hand given the required run rate but if they don’t get wickets then in this stadium even upwards of two-run-a-ball can be chased down in the final 10 overs. We have a thrilling final 19 overs on our hands.
30.6 overs (1 Run) On a length and around off, Kane Williamson steers it towards third man for one. 14 runs off the over!

30.1 overs (6 Runs) SIX! What a shot! Jasprit Bumrah serves this full and on middle, takes pace off, Daryl Mitchell waits for it this time and nonchalantly launches it over the long off fence for a biggie.
