That was moronic by Pant. Pressure was building with dot balls, but India still had plenty of time, but not plenty of wickets. No need to go for the big one.

Pressure on Dhoni here. Can he marshal the chase the way he has so many times before? Or is this one world cup too far? He hasn't had much of a tournament so far, and the RRR is nudging towards 6.5.

Santner going at a run/over! Nearly thirty dots off six overs and two wickets. Amazing spell.

Both set batters (former head of FIFA?) out going for slogs.

Might have rotated the strike for a bit longer.

Wasn't anticipating this at 10.30am.

Swann said this is the best bat in the world for this situation, Dhoni at the wicket.

Certainly 5-10 years ago.

Got to favour NZ just because a wicket really changes things, and the RR is getting higher. Dhoni is playing a test match innings so far.

I guess that Dhoni has to do this to set Jadeja free

Jadeja measuring this run chase well, but Kane still has aces to play and knows he can leave Neesham and de Grandhomme at the death.

Jadeja is timing this beautifully - India are keeping up with the rate as he's managing a boundary an over - 8 an over for the last 5.

A wicket still changes everything, but New Zealand are looking a bit ragged now.

Considering they only managed 22 off 8 overs at one point, it's amazing that India are not only still alive, but looking poised to win if New Zealand can't break this partnership.

Rate is at 10.... so for all Jadeja is doing well, the RR for the partnership is only 8..... Dhoni has to start contributing
