Dhoni strides to the middle.
maro: "As a Kiwi, I have to say that I've never liked Kohli. He's too good. So often in these sorts of games he makes it look like he's batting on an entirely different wicket. He'll get 60-odd and the Indians will win comfortably in the end. Without him, though, we'd win from here for sure."

McCullum to Yuvraj Singh, OUT, driven back to the bowler and McCullum appeals for a caught and bowled! Surely that's a bump ball? The umpires are asking for the third umpire. And that looks out on replay! Yuvraj came forward to the flighted ball, the ball pitched just before it hit the bat and he chipped it cleanly back to the bowler. That's out. So odd that it looked like a bump ball live. This is a tricky pitch.

4.4
McCullum to Yuvraj Singh, FOUR, strays down leg side and Yuvraj makes contact with the sweep, placing the ball between the keeper and short fine leg, poor line
4.3
McCullum to Yuvraj Singh, no run, driven with a straight bat towards the bowler, McCullum dives to his left and fields
Jha: "On slow turning wickets, key is always to play straight. Both raina and dhawan tried to play square and got out. India doesn't really play spin as well as people believe. Nowadays anyway"
4.2
McCullum to Kohli, 1 run, Kohli moves back and across towards the off to flick the ball in the air in front of square leg, he had to hurry to play that shot
4.1
McCullum to Kohli, no run, bowled flat outside leg stump, on the pads, played off the back foot to square leg
Ahsan Butt: "NZ should spend all their resources early in the innings to get Kohli's wicket, otherwise he would just snatch the game away from them."
