Anshul Kamboj comes into the attack, replacing Arshdeep Singh. Henry Nicholls gets a lucky boundary off an edge that falls in no-man's-land, but Kamboj has the last laugh as he removes the left-hander for 11 off the very next ball. New Zealand are three down already, with India's pacers continuing to make the most of the conditions.
Auqib Nabi strikes again, producing an absolute beauty to get rid of Will Young! The pacer gets the ball to move away just enough to force an outside edge, and KL Rahul makes no mistake behind the stumps with a fine catch. A superb delivery from Nabi as India tighten their grip on the proceedings. NZ 11/2 in 5.4 overs
Arshdeep Singh couldn't have asked for a better start! Making full use of the overcast conditions, the left-arm pacer got the ball to swing sharply and kept Will Young on his toes throughout the over. Young struggled to get bat on ball as Arshdeep began with a maiden, setting the tone for India's bowling attack. NZ 0/0 in 1 over

Rohit Sharma will be looking to put his early dismissal in the first ODI behind him and make a bigger contribution with the bat. The Indian opener had struck a good patch of form against the West Indies at home and will be keen to rediscover that touch in Wellington.
