End of over 4 (9 runs) India 21/3 (106 runs required from 16 overs, RR: 5.25, RRR: 6.62)

Yuvraj Singh0 (2b 0x4 0x6)
V Kohli14 (10b 2x4 0x6)
CJ Anderson2-0-13-0
MJ Santner1-0-2-2
3.6
Anderson to Yuvraj Singh, no run, a full and straight ball, Yuvraj stays in his crease and hits it to mid on, did not time it well
 

Sai: "I can understand when NZ were batting first and the madness that happened in the first two overs of their innings. I don't understand Rohit's tactics of dancing down when Santner just came in to bowl. Bizarre tactics! Hoping that calmer heads of Kohli and Dhoni prevail"

 
3.5
Anderson to Kohli, 1 run, bottom edges the cut into the ground towards backward point
3.4
Anderson to Kohli, FOUR, incredible batting, Kohli moves forward and towards the off side to cover the line and drives the ball so smoothly all along the ground, beating mid-on to his right with superb wristwork
3.3
Anderson to Kohli, no run, the offcutter, Kohli bottom edges the ball on the off side
3.2
Anderson to Kohli, FOUR, short of a length and there's width outside off, Kohli stays back, moves towards the ball and cuts late, it's in the air but wide of the diving fielder at short third man
 

avnish anshu: "Beginning to think the selection wasn't that appalling after all"

 
3.1
Anderson to Kohli, no run, good length on off stump, Kohli moves back and across to defend on the off side
 

Ahsan Butt: "Never judge a wicket until both sides have batted."

Mukul: "This is where Kohli trumps Rohit! He knows perfectly well how to pace the inning and has an awesome temprament. Needing 127, there was no need at all to advance to a spinner so early in the inning."
