New Zealand captain Tom Latham: "We would've bowled first, we tossed and turned around with it. We did a great job batting first, built partnerships at the top and the bowlers did a fantastic job tonight."

Batters needing time in the middle?: "Any time in the middle is obviously valuable, the biggest things were the partnerships we were able to build, partnership after partnership. We managed to put some big runs on in the final five overs."

Bowling efforts?: "I think the guys have bowled beautifully, we've tried to be proactive with he changes. The spinners were outstanding, Mitch bowled outstanding, it was fantastic for him to get his rewards. A job well done."

Having Lockie Ferguson back?: "It was great, he was pretty close to playing the first game. It's a long tournament, we didn't want to rush him back."

Adapting to conditions in Kolkata?: "We saw it last night in the game, every ground you go to it is about adapting. Fingers crossed, we can adapt down there."

How far are you away from having a fully-fit squad?: "We're not far away, it's great to see Kane back doing his thing. Tim is progressing nicely. Fingers crossed next game, we will be fully available."
