FREE HIT. SIX! Kyle Jamieson to Shivam Dube. Leg cutter length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, well timed in the air under control over long on for 6 runs. India have posted a mammoth total, largely thanks to Ishan Kishan, who scored an exceptional hundred to power his team to a commanding score. Suryakumar Yadav also continued his resurgence in form, further strengthening India's dominance. The New Zealand bowlers once again struggled for answers against the Indian batters, leaking runs throughout the innings. Lockie Ferguson was the only bright spot, picking up two wickets to post respectable figures.
