Hard to judge the total these days. Looks ok, but it might be 150 under par!

Matt Henry's good day continues with an early wicket. Two key batters in now. WASP swings NZ's way.

Key wicket of Mohit. MSD batting at four. Not sure he's done that recently.

Dhoni is much better at 4 or 5 rather than as finisher as he is not the same finisher anymore.

If Raina is back in playing 11, he might move back to 5 again. I don't think he will bat at 6. Him batting at 4 or 5 will be much better for us.

Dhoni becomes the first man to 9000 runs whilst averaging over 50, according to cricinfo. A few n.o's have help his cause no doubt.

154 no for Kohli

Chiku rocks

no doubt, but he's also largely had to score runs rapidly at the death under pressure

His recent ODI form is amazing really - hopefully he can do it in the champions trophy next year!

He's one of those players that when he gets going you know you're pretty much stuffed as a fielding side. His biggest positive is he can score big and quickly without ever slogging unlike many other players.

Oddly his worst record in Tests and ODIs is v England. Particularly strange this in ODIs.

Kiwis fighting back. Looks like there could be a good finish.

India are struggling. Think they'll run out of wickets.

Still got a batter in, and Mishra can bat (as nearly all Indians can) so still a chance. Good to see the Kiwis being resilient.

looking set for a close finish.
