Rachin Ravindra gets another lifeline as Shreyas Iyer drops him in the deep in the second ball of the eighth over!

Ravindra swept the ball high into the air, and Shreyas covered ground well to reach it in the deep midwicket area. He dived with his arms outstretched but could not catch the ball.

Varun Chakravarthy comes in attack, and seemingly traps Rachin to get caught behind. KL looks confident but Rachin calls for an immediate review.

However, the third umpire calls to overturn the decision.

Will Young pulls it toward the mid-on, and it's a four in the last ball of a chaotic seventh over.

NZ 51/0 in 7 overs.

Shami had a chance to send Rachin back off his bowling, but he dropped the catch, similarly to how he dropped a catch in the semis.

Shami calls on the physio immediately and looks to have hurt his finger.

Huge appeal from Indian players following a supposed lbw from Shami's second ball. Though it was not given as height is the issue.

However, no DRS is taken as well.

Nine comes in Varun's first over. NZ edges closer to fifty.

NZ 46/0 in 6 overs.

Rohit Sharma wastes no time in bringing in India's trumpcard, Varun Chakravarthy!

11 comes from the 5th over delivered by Shami.

Rachin Ravindra batting on 25* off 14, accompanied by Wil Young, 10* off 14.

Shami comes on to deliver the fifth over, as the first ball is a single, but two consecutive fours come off Rachin Ravindra's willow.

A sudden flurry of bounadries, NZ eyeing a big total.

New Zealand picks up the momentum in an expensive 4th over, picking 16 runs.

Two boundaries and one over boundary off Hardik's over.
