The pitch inspectors are getting twitchy!

126/7 is probably not what the Kiwis were after. Nevertheless, there is a fair amount of turn so who knows what will happen next. 12/3 apparently.

39/5
I am enjoying this. Hoist by a curator's petard.
Edit: 43/7. I have reached DLF Maximum levels of Schaudenfreude

Embarrassing procession so far, spun out by NZ. Sodhi and Santner have been on the money though, great to watch.

The Kiwi in my office maintains that India still has a chance so long as Dhoni remains. I think some of this country's pessimism has rubbed off on him.

More from the Beeb: "So many glum faces in Nagpur, it's like the police have broken up their house party before they could play spin the bottle."

Ouch. If the match loss wasn't enough, India's NRR is gonna be rough too.
Edit: Yup, -2.35.

I saw New Zealand were 90-5 after 16 and I thought, blimey India have shown up today. Looked back an hour later to India 47-7! Brilliant from the Kiwi's and their never give up mentality. Brilliant performance. That ball from Sodhi to Kohli was a beaut.

Pakistan piling up a big total here, with four overs of Amir you'd think this would be enough. Even Afridi is getting his once-in-a-blue-moon innings in.

Nicely bowled Nemo, albeit a bit too late for Bangladesh.

I'm not sure I can take credit for Shahid Afridi playing a daft shot any more than I can for the sun coming up in the morning.

Bangladesh sliding towards a big defeat. Plenty of wickets left in hand, but struggling with run rate.

Very good win for Pakistan, sets up the Pakistan vs India nicely.

Thumped.
Feeling a bit nervy about the West Indies to be honest but I hope England goes well, looking forward to seeing who gets picked.
