"We were just trying to give ourselves a chance (by building a partnership after six wickets). Unfortunately we fell short right at the end. Once Mitchell (Santner) and I managed to settle, we started believing. We weren't trying to win it then, just wanted to take it deep to give us a chance. We left too much to do at the end. You back yourself to get 20 runs in the last over, unfortunately it wasn't my day today. They bowled really well in that phase, stuck to their plans and nailed their yorkers (on losing a bit of tempo after reaching in hundred). It was difficult to get them away at that stage. Unfortunately we couldn't get over the line today."

When the third umpire KN Ananthapadmanabhan gave Hardik Pandya (28) out on the big screen even the New Zealand fielders looked stunned. The Indian batsman looked perplexed before making a slow walk back to the hut. The incident took place in the 40th over, when Pandya he missed a cut shot completely off Santer, the bails came off and New Zealand appealed for a bowled dismissal. Latham’s gloves could have dislodged the bails but he himself wasn’t sure. The replays were not conclusive but the third umpire ruled in favour of the visitors. (READ MORE)

Hardik Pandya concedes 20 off the over as Finn Allen gets the measure of him. Three fours and six makes it the most expensive over so far. There is still enough happening off the deck on a good length or thereabouts. Incessant short-pitched stuff getting hammered. Score after 11 overs, NZ: 62/1

New Zealand players are stunned and Hardik looked perplexed. IND (250/5) vs NZ
