    1.1 Rana strikes first ball. Removes Conway three times out of three and New Zealand are in early trouble. Lovely, lovely delivery from Rana. Threatens to angle the length ball back into Conway from outside off. The ball pitches and holds its line. Conway pushes at it away from his body, gets a thick outside edge and Rohit at first slip does the rest 5/2
    0.4 And he goes first ball. Arshdeep celebrates and India have struck early. A nonchalant dismissal really. Arshdeep gets closer to the off stump, shaping the ball away from Nicholls. He is two minds whether to leave the ball or play a shot, withdraws his bat late and the ball catches the inside-edge to crash into his leg stump. Nicholls throws his head back and walks back for a golden duck 5/1
    12.1 Taken by Jadeja at backward point and just like that Rana has a second. Short and wide outside off, Young cuts this firmly to the right of Jadeja, who gets both hands at it and takes a clean catch. 58/3
    44.1 Mitchell falls after Phillips. It comes to an end with a bouncer on the badge. Mitchell looked to pull it into the air, and got a top edge to deep-backward square. As Mitchell raises his bat and walks off, Kohli first applauds him and then cheekily nudges him over the ropes 283/5
    43.1 Cleanly taken this time, crowd go up. Phillips' 106 comes to an end, so does the 219-run stand. Line doing the heavy lifting here. Cutter on a fullish length went just inside the tramline. Phillips stretched out and try to carve it over the off side. Could only manage a nick. He walks back after arguably his best ODI innings 277/4

    45.2 Lbw given right away. Did that pitch outside leg? Hay chats with Bracewell and reviews. Was a googly on a length that beat the reverse sweep and hit the front knee-roll. It's pitching on leg and would go on to hit middle and off. 286/6
    47.1 Straight to Kuldeep at short third. Foulkes waited for the yorker. Got a low full toss at the stumps, which he reverse lapped low and flat 304/7
    48.6 Rana has the last laugh as he bowls a searing yorker on middle and leg. Clarke got outside the line and missed the paddle. Fair shot, doesn't come off 327/8

    3.6 Dropped, four, wicket! Foulkes has the last laugh and Hay can breathe easy. A soft dismissal it must be said. Was a length ball on middle stump, Rohit looks to work that over mid-on, doesn't get it in the middle as Clarke takes the easiest of catches at mid-on. 28/1
    6.4 THROUGH HIM and Jamieson has knocked out the India captain with a stunning delivery. Length ball outside off and gets it to nip back into Gill, who looks to defend but the ball makes its way between his bat and pad to crash into the stumps. The ball actually ricocheted off his pad and thudded into off stump. 45/2

    45.4 Is that the game? Effectively. Kohli taken at long-off! Dolly for Mitchell. Was a wobble-ball right in the slot. Kohli went for the lofted off-drive but the bat face opened on impact. Ball went high in the night sky and came down about ten metres inside the rope. Rousing ovation for Kohli 292/9
    11.2 Straight to mid-on and NZ have struck again. Another low score for Shreyas as India lose their third. Back of a length ball outside off, he looks to flat-bat it over mid-on but doesn't get the elevation. Manages to hit it straight Foulkes at mid-on who takes it chest high 68/3
    12.5 Straight to cover and the India innings is falling apart. Did that ball stop onto the pitch? Floated on a length outside off and also turns away a bit. Rahul looks to push this past cover, ends up chipping the easiest of catches to Phillips 71/4
    27.3 Short midwicket takes a low catch, Reddy goes against the run of play. 129ks back of length just outside off. Reddy stood inside the crease and swivelled, tried to power the pull. Couldn't get sweet enough connection. Looks up in disappointment and freezes for a moment 159/5
    32.1 Straight down deep midwicket's throat and India are in deep, deep trouble now. Tossed up delivery on middle, was a delayed released as he followed Jadeja. He shimmies down the track looking to heave this across the line. Ends up miscuing it completely with Will Young at deep midwicket taking a smart catch 178/6
    43.4 Nichollls runs in a mile from long-on and takes a stunning sliding catch. Crowd goes quiet. Rana's walking but the catch will be checked. First;y, the full toss will be checked. It's below waist height. Rana couldn't get on top of it and swung across his hip. Ball ballooned off the top edge, Nicholls was sliding before the catch was taken, took it above the ground. Rana gets a good ovation 277/7
    43.5 Sirat out. Strangled down leg. There was a sound. Siraj discusses a review and doesn't take it. 127ks full ball down leg, Siraj looks to flick it leg side feathers it to the keeper. Foulkes on a hat-trick 277/8
    45.6 Direct hit at the striker's. Will be sent upstairs. Was a fullish ball that was defended from the crease to point. Replay shows he's short and the hooting begins within NZ's huddle. Phillips collected the ball to his right, his dominant hand and threw it in one motion. He roars with every ounce of energy and is swarmed by his mates in celebrations. NZ complete their first ever ODI bilateral series win in India! 296/10
