16:31 Local Time, 12:31 GMT, 18:01 IST: India finish with a competitive score, and this should make for a very interesting chase. Shubman Gill was trapped LBW early on, and then Rohit skewed a pull shot towards the mid-wicket fielder. Kohli was out thanks to a splendid catch by Phillips at backward point, as India were 30/3 at one stage. India recovered through Shreyas Iyer and Axar Patel, as the duo combined for a good partnership although they batted too slowly. Axar was dismissed thanks to another sharp catch from New Zealand, and Santner got the wicket of KL Rahul shortly after.

250 is the target for Newzealand!!

Best figures for NZ in Champions Trophy

5/36 Jacob Oram vs USA The Oval 2004

5/42 Matt Henry vs Ind Dubai 2025 *

5/46 Shayne O'Connor vs Pak Nairobi 2000

This is the first instance of a bowler picking a five-wicket haul against India in the tournament.

Those two catches from Glen Philips and Kane Williamson!!

Matt Henry: The way we came here and exposed the surface early and put India under pressure.

Happy with the total but big job to do. There was little bit there with the new ball. We created pressure and took wickets with the new ball. Put pressure on them as a collective group. They have got some destructive batters up top. To put them under pressure was key. There are going to be ebbs and flows on a wicket like these. We need to absorb pressure, if we do that, we have a very good chance.
