IND vs NZ 3rd ODI LIVE: 295 all-out and India are now No. 1 in T20Is and ODIs

Big win this for Rohit Sharma and his men as after being asked to bat first he and Gill put on a good show. Rohit and Gill scored their centuries while Pandya scored his half-century. Thakur played a crucial cameo to Take the score to 385/9.

In reply, the Kiwi side were shook with a wicket taken by Pandya in the second ball. The Indian bowlers held their nerve and struck with the older ball. 

BlackCaps saw Conway-Nicholls and Conway-Mitchell, however, once the middle order was exposed, they lost wickets in quick succession. Conway played some outstanding shots in his hundred, but it went in vain.

Santner hits the ball in the air and Kohli takes a good catch at deep mid-wicket. It's 3-0 for India. 

Santner c Kohli b Chahal 34(29) [4s-3 6s-2]

Googly from Chahal and Duffy who was looking to defend it saw the ball sneak past the inside edge. The umpire raised the finger and Duffy sent it upstairs. Ball tracker shows umpires call with ball hitting a decent part of top of middle. 

Jacob Duffy lbw b Chahal 0(2)

What a catch! Rohit plucks it out of the air. Ferguson mistimed it totally and it looked like a top edge. Rohit was well in at short mid-wicket, but moved back and stretched his right hand fully and held onto the ball. 

Ferguson c Rohit b Kuldeep Yadav 7(12)

Stumped and Michael Bracewell has to go! Kuldeep fired the ball down leg on seeing Bracewell advance. The batter got into a tangle where he was in an awful position to even get balance. Ishan Kishan, collected the ball and ignited the sticks in time.

A wicket right after the break - surely not an uncommon site. At 142ks, Umran Malik skiddy length delivery saw Conway hit the ball towards Rohit at mid-wicket and the Indian skipper takes a good catch. 

Conway c Rohit b Umran Malik 138(100) [4s-12 6s-8]

Lord Shardul Thakur is doing it for India. He has three wickets in the space of 10 balls. Glenn Phillips did not anticipate the delivery to arrive so quick and his attempted pull finds a thick top-edge. The ball went high up in the air Kohli takes a easy catch at short mid-wicket. 

Glenn Phillips c Kohli b Thakur 5(7)

First Daryl Mitchell and soon after skipper Tom Latham, Shardul Thakur gets 2 in 2. 

For Mitchell, he was caught by Ishan Kishan but did not look too pleased. The ball was pretty close to the gloves and the Indian celebrated soon as the catch was taken. However, the umpire did not give and out and India went for a review which proved to be successful.

Soon after, Tom Latham came out to bat, but was not given enough time to settle. Kohli was half-celebrating even before the catch was taken. The knuckle ball full toss from Shardul dipped late and Latham tried to drive straight. However, it flew low to the left of mid-off and Hardik claimed the catch inches above the turf. 

Latham c Hardik Pandya b Thakur 0(1)

Third ODI hundred for Devon Conway.

Conway did extremely well to get to the milestone and is currently taking the Kiwis closer to the target.

India needed a wicket and Kuldeep Yadav strikes on time. Nicholls falls to Yadav once again in this series. The batter, after being given out went on to waste a review. 

Nicholls lbw b Kuldeep Yadav 42(40) [4s-3 6s-2]

With a SIX, Devon Conway gets his well-compiled Fifty. However, he knows his job is not done yet.

First Shami and now Hardik Pandya, Finn Allen is not being allowed to get a start. It was a back of a length ball outside off and Finn Allen tried to play it with soft hands but gets an inside edge. The ball goes on to rattle the stumps

Finn Allen b Hardik Pandya 0(2)

India posted a massive total in ODIs, but is it safe enough on this ground is what will need to be seen. Rohit and Gill give an outstanding start as they put on a double-century opening stand. 

At this time, 420 also looked easy, however, the BlackCaps made a stellar comeback and India lost 6 wickets for 101 runs.

A slower delivery and Kuldeep swings and misses. However, Umran Malik tries to steal a bye, but Kuldeep was late to react. Latham soon lobbed the ball to Ferguson, who did the rest. 

Kuldeep Yadav run out (Latham/Ferguson) 3(3)

Hardik Pandya got his fifty off 36 balls, but soon was sent back by Jacob Duffy. The straight to long-on and Hardik is livid with himself. 

Hardik Pandya c Conway b Jacob Duffy 54(38) [4s-3 6s-3]

Thakur toe-ends the scoop to the keeper. He tried to hit over short fine leg, but mistimed. He got congratulated by Hardik for his handy contribution. 

Thakur c Latham b Tickner 25(17) [4s-3 6s-1]

Washi slices the cut shot and Mitchell takes a good catch running back from point. Not what India were expecting after a good start. 

Washington Sundar c Mitchell b Tickner 9(14) [4s-1]

New Zealand are back in the game, especially after a strong opening stand. This time it was SKY, who has been sent back. India have lost 81/5 now. 

Suryakumar Yadav c Conway b Jacob Duffy 14(9) [6s-2]

Virat Kohli thought he could loft the drive over the infield but he mistimed it and Finn Allen took it overhead. 

Kohli c Allen b Jacob Duffy 36(27) [4s-3 6s-1]

Ishan Kishan tapped the ball straight to cover and called for a quick single. While Kohli was slightly hesitant, he ran and did not look back and kept sprinting to the other end. 

However, Ishan Kishan was ball-watching and decided to turn after running half-way down. 

Ishan Kishan run out (Nicholls) 17(24) [4s-1 6s-1]

Another batter fails to convert the hundred into a bigger milestone as Gill, finds the top-edge and Conway at backward point settles under it. 

Shubman Gill c Conway b Tickner 112(78) [4s-13 6s-5]

Hundred and out. Huge roar but it was beacuse of how quick Virat Kohli made his way out to the middle, but also to acknowledge the 100 smashed by the Indian skipper as well. 

Rohit b M Bracewell 101(85) [4s-9 6s-6]

With a FOUR, the unstoppable Shubman Gill brings up yet another hundred. This is his 3rd 100-plus score in his last 4 ODI innings. 

The last time Rohit hit a 100 was on January 19, 2020 and now he has broken his series of bad luck as he smashed a ton. He took his time but notched his 30th ODI ton. 

With a SIX, Rohit brings up his Fifty - his 49th in ODIs.

Back-to-back fifties for him and the skipper will surely love to make this one count.

India post a 100-run partnership in only 76 balls.

The two openers have been raining boundaries. 

In just 33 balls, Shubman Gill smashes his 50

India make two changes – Shami and Siraj are out, Umran and Chahal are in.
