TOSS UPDATE: Indian skipper Virat Kohli won the toss and elected to bowl first at Eden Park in Auckland.

Kohli: We're gonna have a bowl first. Looks a nice pitch to bat on. It might be hard to pick the ball up initially due to twilight. We're pretty much fine (from the travel) but we're fine now. We've played 50-over cricket (heading to this series) and are ready for T20 cricket.

Williamson: It was a 50-50 decision with the track being used.
