Gill's knock in Auckland
In what appeared to be a straightforward chase, India lost Rohit Sharma for a duck in the first over.
Gill and Kohli steadied the ship with a 50-plus stand thereafter. Following two rain breaks, India's revised target was 143 in 32 overs.
Nathan Smith finally broke the partnership by removing Gill. He scored a fine 37 off 56 balls (5 fours).
