Kyle Mills	10	0	58	2	5.80	25	4	0	0	3
2.4 to V Sehwag, timber! Bowled straight on middle, similar to the previous delivery, Sehwag goes for a cross-batted heave over midwicket, it seemed as if the ball kept just a little low, he missed and the stumps took a beating. New Zealand have struck early, removing India's most explosive batsman. 15/1 48.4 to MS Dhoni, Dhoni goes after an excellent cameo, short on middle, tries to pull it away over deep square leg, gets the top edge and McGlashan runs back to take a well judged catch on the second attempt. 382/4
Tim Southee	10	0	105	0	10.50	20	10	6	2	0
Ian Butler	5	0	37	1	7.40	17	5	1	2	0
12.4 to G Gambhir, gone! Slightly short outside off, gets some good bounce, Gambhir tries to guide that to third man, gets a thick edge and McGlashan snaps it easily. 65/2
Jacob Oram	8	1	34	0	4.25	35	4	1	1	0

29.2 to Yuvraj Singh, he's gone now! Short of a good length outside off and came back in just a touch, Yuvraj tried to punch that towards mid-off, got a thin inside edge and McGlashan, who's standing up, snapped a sharp chance. 203/3

New Zealand (T: 393 runs from 50 ovs)

BOWLING	O	M	R	W	ECON	0s	4s	6s	WD	NB
Zaheer Khan	9	0	65	2	7.22	21	9	0	1	0
33.3 to GD Elliott, yorker fired in at 138.1 kmph on the off stump, Elliot is late in bringing his bat down in time, he misses and the stumps take a beating! New Zealand have lost too many wickets for too few runs and the task now is virtually impossible. 217/6 33.5 to PD McGlashan, bowled'im! Good length on the off stump and held its line, kept a little low but McGlashan didn't have it covered, stayed his ground and pushed at it lazily to be bowled through the gate. 218/7
Praveen Kumar	8.1	0	60	1	7.34	25	8	2	1	0
45.1 to TG Southee, short of a length on middle, tries to pull it away, gets a top edge and Praveen takes a comfortable catch running forward. 334/10
Munaf Patel	7.2	0	79	0	10.77	15	8	4	1	2
Yuvraj Singh	10	0	71	2	7.10	25	1	5	1	0
25.3 to MJ Guptill, Yuvraj slips in an arm ball that's drifting onto the pads, Guptill tries to work it away off the front foot, misses, is rapped on the pads and the Indians break out into a huge appeal. The umpire Baxter, after giving it some thought, raises his finger though replays indicate the ball may have been sliding down. 182/3 37.6 to IG Butler, his resistance ends! Bowled quick and flat on the off stump, gets back and looks to swat that over the bowler's head, misses and the off stump is out of the ground. 251/8
Harbhajan Singh	10	0	56	2	5.60	29	4	2	0	0
26.6 to JD Ryder, big wicket, bowled flat and full outside off, Ryder just chips it without much effort, he ends up timing it a little too well to find a perfectly positioned Zaheer at long-off who takes it gleefully. 188/4 30.3 to JDP Oram, he's chopped it on! Slightly short outside off, pushed through quick, he went back to cut that towards point, got a thick inside edge straight into the off stump. 203/5
Yusuf Pathan	0.4	0	1	1	1.50	3	0	0	0	0
44.6 to KD Mills, gone! The Indians are relieved, fullish delivery outside leg stump and he paddles it straight to Zaheer at short fine who takes a sharp, well judged catch. 334/9
