India vs New Zealand Third ODI Live Updates: It’s over! New Zealand complete an ODI series sweep over India. CdG dispatches the full toss to mid wicket fence to take New Zealand to a five wicket win. Preview: New Zealand will hope to avenge their 0-5 hiding at the hands of India in the T20I series by completing a 3-0 sweep in the one-dayers when they take on the Men in Blue in the third and final game in Mount Maunganui on Tuesday. New Zealand staved off a late resistance from the Indians at Auckland to register a 22-run win in the second ODI and clinch the series 2-0. The Black Caps had earlier chased down 348 in the first game of the series at Hamilton with four wickets and nearly two overs to spare. Ross Taylor played a key role in both Kiwi victories, remaining unbeaten on 109 and 73 at Hamilton and Auckland respectively and is currently the leading run-scorer in the series by a fair distance. The ‘Player of the Match’ award in the second game, however, went to debutant Kyle Jamieson for his all-round performance of 25 not out and 2/42. Shreyas Iyer (52) and Ravindra Jadeja (55) revived the Indian innings after the visitors lost wickets early in their innings, including that of captain and prolific run-getter Virat Kohli, but failed to get their team home. India needed 23 to win from 10 balls when Jadeja holed out to Colin de Grandhomme at long off off James Neesham’s bowling to be the last man dismissed as New Zealand broke into celebrations, having collected their first series win against India in six years. The Black Caps will be bolstered by return of regular captain Kane Williamson, who missed out on the fourth and fifth T20Is as well as the first two one-dayers and is confirmed to make his return at Tauranga. Wicket-keeper-batsman Tom Latham led the Black Caps successfully in his absence. Williamson had smashed 95 in his last appearance for the Kiwis to nearly lead them to victory in the third T20I at Hamilton, and will hope to start off from where he had left should he be match-fit on Tuesday morning. India, on the other hand, will hope to end their limited-overs leg of the tour of New Zealand on a happy note with a consolation win. Prithvi Shaw and Mayank Agarwal, opening in place of Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan, have got starts in the first two one-dayers, but haven’t quite got the big partnership the team management would’ve expected from them. Virat Kohli himself is due for a big score, and KL Rahul — the leading run-getter in the T20I series — will hope to return to form after a blip at Auckland. Squads: India team players: Prithvi Shaw , Mayank Agarwal , Yuzvendra Chahal , Shivam Dube , Shreyas Iyer , Manish Pandey , Rishabh Pant , KL Rahul , Virat Kohli(c) , Ravindra Jadeja , Kuldeep Yadav , Mohammed Shami , Shardul Thakur , Jasprit Bumrah , Navdeep Saini New Zealand team players: Tom Latham , Martin Guptill , Ross Taylor , Scott Kuggeleijn , Colin de Grandhomme , Jimmy Neesham , Daryl Mitchell , Tom Blundell , Henry Nicholls , Mark Chapman , Kyle Jamieson , Mitchell Santner , Hamish Bennett , Ish Sodhi , Tim Southee

Henry Nicholls is the Player of the Match!
Nicholls: Nice to come out here today and make it 3-0. It’s been good. I have been able to put good partnerships. It was important hitting into the backend. His (Guptill) experience certainly helps me. You sort of play second fiddle out there. We put on a good opening stand in all three victories. After the T20s, we came out and played the brand of cricket we wanted to play.
What a comeback for the Black Caps!
Hard to believe given his status as a world-class bowler!

After 47 overs,New Zealand 296/5 ( Tom Latham (W) 32 , Colin de Grandhomme 54)
Just three singles have been collected from Bumrah’s over. New Zealand want to reach to the target in class. New Zealand need 1 run in 18 balls
After 47 overs,New Zealand 296/5 ( Tom Latham (W) 32 , Colin de Grandhomme 54)
Just three singles have been collected from Bumrah’s over. New Zealand want to reach to the target in class. New Zealand need 1 run in 18 balls
After 46 overs,New Zealand 293/5 ( Tom Latham (W) 31 , Colin de Grandhomme 52)
Shardul Thakur was destroyed in the last over by CdG as he completed his fifty in mere 21 balls. 20 came from the last over as the pacer was hit around the park. When he bowled well, the inside edge escaped the stumps. New Zealand need 4 runs in 24 balls
After 45 overs,New Zealand 273/5 ( Tom Latham (W) 31 , Colin de Grandhomme 33)
It’s just a formality now unless India strike back quickly with couple of wickets. Bumrah has been called back into attack and gives away eight runs. Indian bowlers have been guilty of giving away too many boundary balls and one such fuller delivery was flicked to square leg by CdG. New Zealand need 24 runs in 30 balls
After 44 overs,New Zealand 265/5 ( Tom Latham (W) 29 , Colin de Grandhomme 27)
Saini back into attack. Latham hit a boundary in the over and he did that by dancing down for a slap shot down the ground. That has been story of India in the series. 10 runs come from the over. New Zealand need 32 runs in 36 balls
An impact player out and out
After 43 overs,New Zealand 255/5 ( Tom Latham (W) 24 , Colin de Grandhomme 24)
Whatever advantage India had is now gone, thanks to CdG and Shardul. The Kiwi all-rounder has changed the dynamics with his big-hitting capabilities while Shardul has been akin to a Santa Claus for the opposition. Short deliveries, wide deliveries have been offered as CdG collected a six and two fours in the over. 15 off it. New Zealand need 42 runs in 42 balls
After 42 overs,New Zealand 240/5 ( Tom Latham (W) 19 , Colin de Grandhomme 14)
Big over this for Kiwis as Chahal leaks 12 runs. A six came on the first ball and that released the pressure. CdG went with the pull shot but it didn’t come off cleanly, fielder gave it a chase but in vain. New Zealand need 57 runs in 48 balls
After 41 overs,New Zealand 228/5 ( Tom Latham (W) 17 , Colin de Grandhomme 4)
Bumrah continues. This probably will be his last over of the spell. He hasn’t taken any wicket so far but these two overs were tight and will help in building the pressure. Just five from this over. There was also a run out opportunity on last ball but Mayank’s throw at bowler’s end was really poor. New Zealand need 69 runs in 54 balls.
After 40 overs,New Zealand 223/5 ( Tom Latham (W) 14 , Colin de Grandhomme 2)
Kohli decides to bring Chahal from th other end to attack and gets the desired result. Neesham was guilty of being careless there as he took the aerial route on the fuller delivery, but could only find the mid wicket fielder. There ws another opportunity in the over as new man in, de Grandhomme went for an ugly heave on leg against a googly from Chahal but it fell short of Saini at deep square leg. Five off the over.
OUT! Neesham c Kohli b Chahal 19(25)
Kohli’s decision to bring Chahal back into the attack has worked in his favour. New Zealand are succumbing here without pressure. There was no need for Neesham to go aerially on the fuller delivery but he did and Kohli had positioned himself at mid wicket just for that catch.
After 39 overs,New Zealand 218/4 ( Tom Latham (W) 12 , James Neesham 19)
So we now have Bumrah into attack. A decent over for the pacer as he gives away just two runs. Three more overs left for the fast bowler as India look for wickets.
Will he? Won’t he?
