New Zealand vs. India 2nd ODI live score, updates and toss result

After 20 overs, NZ are 53/5

Gurnoor Brar delivered a devastating over of fast bowling in the 20th to leave New Zealand in tatters at 53/5. After Tom Latham and Daryl Mitchell had painstakingly grafted through ten overs to stitch together a 30-run partnership, Brar shattered the resistance in the space of four deliveries. He first lured Latham into a mistimed lofted drive caught cleanly by Naman Dhir, before following it up with the prized scalp of Glenn Phillips, who fell for a four-ball duck after chipping a catch to Anshul Kamboj.

After 10 overs, NZ are 29/3

India asserted total dominance in the opening ten overs of the contest, ripping through New Zealand's top order with a fiery display of seam bowling to leave the tourists reeling at 29/3. Arshdeep Singh set the tone from the outset with an exceptionally disciplined opening spell of 4-1-4-0, which allowed Auqib Nabi to strike decisively at the other end.

Nabi dismissed Tim Seifert for a five-ball duck before inducing an edge from Will Young into the gloves of KL Rahul, and first-change seamer Anshul Kamboj compounded New Zealand's woes by breaching Henry Nicholls’ defence to rattle his stumps.
