FOUR! Uppish but through the gap! Short and it bounces up a bit, outside off, Suryakumar Yadav is taken aback by the lift, but he goes through the cut shot.

Mitchell Santner to Suryakumar Yadav
A huge shout for LBW but that looked high! Speared in from around the wicket, on a nagging length, on off. SKY reaches out in front and gets low for the sweep. The ball bounces over the bat and hits the Indian skipper on the right shoulder. Santner has a word with the keeper. They don't look convinced but the Kiwi skipper makes a late decision to take the review. No bat or glove involved but the Ball Tracking has the ball going way over the stumps. New Zealand burn a review.

5.4

Jacob Duffy to Suryakumar Yadav
Full toss on leg, SKY flicks it to deep mid-wicket's right and they take a single. Abhishek is keen for the second run, but Suryakumar sends him back. Sharma is almost halfway down the pitch, but the throw arrives at the wrong end, to the bowler. This allows Abhishek to retreat safely.

Jacob Duffy to Abhishek Sharma
SIX! Effortless! FIFTY FOR ABHISHEK SHARMA! Off just 14 balls. His 8th in T20Is and this is also the second-fastest half century for India, only behind Yuvraj Singh, who holds the record of the fastest one in just 12 balls. Short and outside leg, Abhishek picks the length in a trice and pulls it massively over deep fine leg for a huge six. He has peppered every part of the ground and has left New Zealand absolutely clueless.

Matt Henry to Suryakumar Yadav
Buzzers! Angled in, on a back of a length, on middle, Suryakumar turns it wide of mid-wicket and takes a single. A needless throw at the bowling end by Mitchell. He hits and the ball deflects away towards cover, allowing the batters to run one more.

Matt Henry to Abhishek Sharma
Just out of reach! Henry takes pace off and bowls it on a nagging length, on middle. Abhishek charges down the track and despite not being to the pitch of the ball, he swings through. Skies it over wide mid off, where Santner turns around and goes after it. He slides and stretches his hands out in front but the ball evades him. Two runs taken.

Matt Henry to Abhishek Sharma
SIX! Hit with real authority! Henry goes into the surface but fails to get the short ball high enough to trouble the batter. It comes at chest height and Abhishek stands tall to pull it over deep mid-wicket for a six.

FOUR! The 50 is up for India! A half-tracker from Sodhi first up, on middle. Ishan swings a bit too hard for the pull. The bat turns in his hand but he manages to get it away in front of square. Mark Chapman sprints and slides to his left in the deep but the ball bounces off his thigh into the fence.

Ish Sodhi to Ishan Kishan
OUT! CAUGHT! Ishan Kishan could not have picked out the fielder any better. Pushed through from the front of the hand by Sodhi, flat and short, on middle. This skids through and Ishan crouches a bit to get it away. Fast hands from Kishan as he has a swipe across the line. Hits it flat and straight down the throat of deep mid-wicket. Chapman runs in off the ropes and gets low to take a fine catch. Ishan falls for a quickfire 28 (13). India are now 53/2.

Samson couldn't get going three times in a row. With the scores of 10, 6 and now a golden duck, he has managed just 16 runs in this series. The pressure is mounting on him. Ishan Kishan walks in at number 3.
0
That was a highly entertaining opening over. A first-ball wicket, two mammoth sixes and a boundary to follow next. Jacob Duffy will operate from the opposite end.
0
So just one over for Henry. Kyle Jamieson replaces him from this end.

16, 16, 17. The first three overs for India. This is effortless batting. And to slow things down a bit, Santner has tossed the ball to Ish Sodhi.

Out goes Ishan, and in walks the Indian skipper. Suryakumar Yadav comes in at number 4.

Matt Henry (1-0-16-1) returns into the attack. He replaces Kyle Jamieson.

That’s all from Guwahati! A lopsided affair, and with that, the fate of the series has been sealed. With the World Cup on the horizon, there is no such thing as a dead rubber, as every game presents an opportunity to learn, adapt, and fine-tune. The caravan now moves to Vizag for the fourth T20I of the series, to be played on Wednesday, 28th January, with the first ball scheduled for 7 pm IST (1.30 pm GMT). As always, you can join us early for all the build-up. Until then, take care and goodbye!

Matt Henry to Sanju Samson
OUT! TIMBER! How about that for a start? Matt Henry strikes with his first ball. A golden duck for Sanju Samson. A wobble seam delivery, angled in, on a length, on leg. Samson takes a step back in the crease, outside the leg stump, and looks to clip it away on the leg side. The ball seams away a bit to beat him on the outside edge. It clips the back leg before deflecting onto the off pole. India are 0/1, chasing 154.

Matt Henry to Ishan Kishan
Goes past the bat! Decking away off the seam, on a good length. Ishan is squared up in defence and is beaten on the outside edge.

Matt Henry to Ishan Kishan
SIX! BANG! A strong response from Ishan Kishan. A wry smile from Matt Henry. Pitched up by Henry, on middle, Kishan crouches slightly and gets under the ball. Clubs it over deep mid-wicket to get his and India's innings going.
0.4

Matt Henry to Ishan Kishan
SIX MORE! This is even bigger! Henry drags the length back, on middle. Kishan hangs on the back foot, perhaps expecting the short ball. Ishan nails the pull over deep square leg, into the second tier.
