  • 49.5

    OUT! Run Out. Trent Boult to Yuzvendra Chahal. Half volley, to leg no foot movement pushing, to silly mid on, fielded by Boult. Poked back to the bowler, Shami was backing up a long way, and basically already running as Chahal played his shot. Boult collected, turned, and dived into the stumps. Out by a distance!

    India will be delighted with that total. At 18-4, they were looking like being bundled out for below 100 again. Vijay Shankar and Ambati Rayudu led the recovery, and Hardik Pandya smacked it round the park at the end to boost the visitors up to 252. Trent Boult and Matt Henry were devastating up front, and were the pick of the bowlers for the hosts. Should be an exciting chase to come.

  • 49.4

    OUT! Caught. Trent Boult to Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, to extra cover, by Taylor. Full, wide, and driven straight into cover's hands. Kumar was leaning back slightly, which mean he couldn't keep it down. Easily pouched by Taylor.

  • 49.3

    Trent Boult to Mohammed Shami. Yorker, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, inside edge to fine leg for 1 run, fielded by Astle.

  • 48.6

    OUT! Caught. Jimmy Neesham to Hardik Pandya. Full toss, off stump on the back foot pulling, top edge in the air uncontrolled to backward square leg, by Boult. Outstanding catch from Boult. There's some confusion, as it is very close to a waist high no-ball. He's just fine. Pandya should have really put it out the park, but ends up hitting it straight up. Boult runs round from short fine leg to take a diving catch over the shoulder.

  • 48.5

    FOUR! Jimmy Neesham to Hardik Pandya. Yorker, outside off stump no foot movement Steer, well timed past third man for 4 runs. Bowler hasn't done a lot wrong there, it's just class batting. Right in the blockhole, and Pandya dabs it away past short third man.

  • 48.4

    Jimmy Neesham to Hardik Pandya. Slower ball yorker, off stump on the front foot working, to mid wicket for 1 run, fielded by Neesham.

    SIX! Jimmy Neesham to Hardik Pandya. Full toss, middle stump on the front foot flick, well timed in the air under control over deep mid wicket for 6 runs. Effortless. Pandya is served up a shin high full toss, and just clips it away over mid wicket for six.

  • 48.1

    FOUR! Jimmy Neesham to Hardik Pandya. Half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed past deep extra cover for 4 runs. Searching for the yorker, but doesn't quite get it right. Pandya is deep in the crease, and drills a drive through the covers.

  • 47.6

    Trent Boult to Hardik Pandya. Half volley, off stump on the front foot driving, to long off for 1 run, fielded by Williamson.

  • 47.5

    SIX! Trent Boult to Hardik Pandya. Short, down leg side on the back foot pulling, well timed in the air under control over deep mid wicket for 6 runs. Fast hands from Pandya. He whips the hands through the ball, and sends it sailing into the crowd for another maximum.

    SIX! Todd Astle to Hardik Pandya. Leg spinner length ball, middle stump on the front foot Slog, well timed in the air under control over deep mid wicket for 6 runs. Three in a row. Right in the slot, and Pandya blasts this deep over the mid wicket boundary.

  • 46.3

    SIX! Todd Astle to Hardik Pandya. Leg spinner half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air under control over deep extra cover for 6 runs. Back to back. Pandya lofts a drive over the covers, three fielders converging, but it sneaks over the rope for six.

  • 46.2

    SIX! Todd Astle to Hardik Pandya. Leg spinner back of a length, off stump on the back foot pulling, well timed in the air under control over deep mid wicket for 6 runs. Dragged down, and Pandya doesn't miss out. Hangs back in the crease, and muscles it over cow corner.

  • 46.1

  • 45.2

    OUT! Bowled. Matt Henry to Kedar Jadhav. Off cutter length ball, outside off stump on the front foot flick, inside edge to. Not an ideal time to lose a wicket. Jadhav looks to take the ball from well outside off to the legside. Henry rolls his finger across it, gets some grip, and the ball brushes the inside edge before crashing into the stumps. That's four for Henry. A good day for him.

  • 45.1

    Matt Henry to Hardik Pandya. Length ball, outside off stump moves in front driving, well timed to deep cover for 1 run, fielded by Munro.

  • 44.6

    FOUR! Todd Astle to Kedar Jadhav. Leg spinner half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air under control past deep point for 4 runs. Opened up the blade, and sliced it over point to get the ball into the gap. Santner cannot get round to cut it off. Super placement.

  • 44.1
    Trent Boult c Mohammed Shami b Bhuvneshwar Kumar 1 (3)

    OUT! Caught. Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Trent Boult. Short, outside off stump on the back foot cutting, top edge in the air uncontrolled to third man, by Shami. Boult flashes hard, looking to scythe it over backward point. The ball flies off the edge, and loops down the throat of third man.

    India seal the victory, and win the series 4-1. Ambati Rayudu and Vijat Shankar's vital partnership was the game changer. Two very important knocks for India on their way to setting 252. With the ball, they were able to take wickets regularly, and always have the hosts just behind the game. Overall, a deserved victory for the visitors.

    An excellent ODI series from these two teams, and no doubt the T20Is will be just as good. They begin on Wednesday.

  • 43.6

    Hardik Pandya to Matt Henry. Off cutter yorker, outside off stump no foot movement Steer, missed to wicketkeeper for no runs, fielded by Dhoni.

    SIX! Hardik Pandya to Matt Henry. Off cutter short, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, well timed in the air under control over deep square leg for 6 runs. He goes again! Terrific from Matt Henry. In the slot, and carted over deep square leg.

  • 43.4

    SIX! Hardik Pandya to Matt Henry. Short, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, well timed in the air under control over deep mid wicket for 6 runs. Henry needs a few lusty blows now, and delivers here. Takes on the bouncer, and swipes it over mid wicket for six. Struck that flat and hard.

  • 43.3

    Hardik Pandya to Trent Boult. Yorker, middle stump backing away pushing, to mid on for 1 run, fielded by Shankar.

  • 43.2

    Hardik Pandya to Trent Boult. Length ball, outside off stump no foot movement driving, missed to wicketkeeper for no runs, fielded by Dhoni.

    Mitchell Santner c Mohammed Shami b Hardik Pandya 22 (37)

    OUT! Caught. Hardik Pandya to Mitchell Santner. Half volley, down leg side on the front foot flick, to short fine leg, by Shami. That's pretty unlucky. Santner has to drag himself off the field, though. Clipped nicely off the toes, and it would've flown to the fence had he not picked out short fine leg. Shami doesn't move, and snaps it up with ease.

  • 42.6

    Yuzvendra Chahal to Matt Henry. Leg spinner half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, to short extra cover for no runs, fielded by Pandya.

  • 41.6

    FOUR! Mohammed Shami to Matt Henry. Off cutter half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air under control past long off for 4 runs. Looped out the hand of Shami, and Henry crushes this back down the ground for four.

  • 41.5

  • 40.5
    Todd Astle lbw b Yuzvendra Chahal 10 (16)

    OUT! L.B.W. Verified by umpire after REFERRAL. Yuzvendra Chahal to Todd Astle. Googly length ball, off stump on the front foot sweeping, hit pad to. Everytime the hosts seem to get a little bit of hope, India pick up another wicket. Chahal's googly proves dangerous again. Astle is down to sweep, doesn't connect, and is smacked on the back leg. Up goes the finger, reviewed by New Zealand, but HawkEye backs up the onfield decision.

  • 40.4

    Yuzvendra Chahal to Mitchell Santner. Leg spinner length ball, to leg on the front foot slog sweeping, to deep backward square leg for 1 run, fielded by Gill.
