The ball is also 12 overs old.

Twelve false shots in 12 overs. That's incredible how attacking India were

S Kishore : "Can't wait to start. Crucial session this for India. The series on the line, the chase is on and the Indian batters giving it back to NZ. If they get to 200-220 with the loss of maximum 2-3 wickets, they will strongly believe they can win this"
