After 27 overs,India 80/0 ( Mayank Agarwal 32 , Shubman Gill 44)
Expensive over from Somerville. Two fours from Shubman Gill who is into his 40s now. This is good stuff from the Indian openers. Nine runs from the over.

After 26 overs,India 71/0 ( Mayank Agarwal 32 , Shubman Gill 35)
Ajaz Patel continues after drinks break. There’s a man at midwicket and a man at deep square leg. Ajaz gets some turn in the last ball of the over and beats Mayank the batter. Maiden over.
After 25 overs,India 71/0 ( Mayank Agarwal 32 , Shubman Gill 35)
Somerville resumes. Just four runs from the over including two leg byes. India seem in a quite comfortable position at the moment, but it’s time for players to have a drink. New Zealand will have a lot to ponder up heading into the final hour of the post-lunch session as they search for a breakthrough.
After 24 overs,India 67/0 ( Mayank Agarwal 31 , Shubman Gill 34)
Ajaz Patel continues. Mayank gets two leg byes right away, but it seems like Ajaz Patel’s plans to tackle the openers is not going as expected. Just those couple of runs from the over.
After 21 overs,India 63/0 ( Mayank Agarwal 29 , Shubman Gill 34)
Somerville continues. Shubman Gill with a huge six as he glances one over to the deep midwicket fence. He showed class and maturity in that one. Seven runs from the over.
SIX! Brilliant from Shubman Gill as he glances this one through to over the deep midwicket boundary.
After 19 overs,India 56/0 ( Mayank Agarwal 28 , Shubman Gill 28)
The Indian openers are having it easy at the moment. Mayank Agarwal and Shubman Gill bring up their 50-run stand, and that milestone was followed by a boundary off Mayank, getting a thick inside edge off Somerville and beating the fielder at midwicket boundary.
After 16 overs,India 45/0 ( Mayank Agarwal 21 , Shubman Gill 24)
Ajaz Patel continues for the 16th over of the Indian innings. There’s an appeal for stumping against Agarwal, but TV replays show Agarwal has made his ground.
