IND vs NZ Highlights: Rahul’s calm hand guides India to narrow four-wicket victory

IND vs NZ Live Score: Kohli onto 90*, Shreyas onto 42*. 74 needed off 78. Hold your breath.

IND vs NZ Live Score: Virat Kohli with a beautiful flick off his legs to beat the square leg fielder, races away for four – and that's 200 for India. Masterclass in chasing thus far and India will want to ensure no mistakes.

203/2 from 34 overs now. Kohli on 78*.

IND vs NZ Live Score: There he goes! That's his best role – and enforcer through the middle overs. First a six to get going, then a couple of late cuts either side of short third to pick up a pair of boundaries.

187/2 from 31 now. 114 needed off 114.

IND vs NZ Live Score: Shreyas Iyer in at number four, good situation for him to walk into on return. A very manageable situation but one that will still need him to be at his best to see India home.

IND vs NZ Live Score: Gill holes out! Tries to slap it past Phillips, but it's too uppish and with not enough power. To a fielder as good as Phillips, that's always risky – and that's a routine catch.

IND vs NZ Live Score: The Indian captain not too far behind his senior partner. He's taken his time a little more, been the anchor of this partnership, but as the stand crosses hundred he too reaches his fifty. India have given themselves the platform to go on and win here.

IND vs NZ Live Score: The streak of half-centuries continues! He has looked imperious. In the middle of a chase where he can control the tempo – almost inevitable.

IND vs NZ Live Score: Death by a thousand cuts now. Picking up singles and doubles with absolutely no risk, but still batting at more than 6 an over.

179 needed off 30.

IND vs NZ Live Score: India on top at the moment as Kohli has come in and reversed the momentum entirely. India are ahead of the rate and both the batters are looking set at the moment.

IND vs NZ Live Score: Touch of fortune for Kohli, lovely shot first up over mid-on. Tries to go for it again but it's an inside edge which just evades the leg stump – close call!

Gill begins to motor – spinner Adithya Ashoka overpitches, and he can step-hit clean as you like over long on for six. Getting going after a timid start.

IND vs NZ Live Score: New-look Virat Kohli loves attacking early, and in the last over of the powerplay, he picks up two fours to get going! Second one is crisp as you like, swivel and into the gap for four.

48/1 after 10.

IND vs NZ Live Score: Big wicket! Rohit tries to drive down the ground with a big shot, but early through it, and it's only the toe-end. Right up, and mid-off can get around to take the catch.

Very important wicket for NZ. Brings in Virat Kohli next.

IND vs NZ Live Score: Almost a spectacular catch at point by a man who has made that routine! Slashed by Gill hard, and Phillips tries to spring across. Gets there with one hand, but doesn't stick this time! Smiles all around – is the expectation almost that Phillips should be taking those? Wow.

IND vs NZ Live Score: Rohit Sharma well and truly gets going now! Got his eye in and is now punishing anything that he can. Big shot down the ground for six, then lovely back foot punch for four through covers.

35/0 after 7.

IND vs NZ Live Score: That's what he wanted, and he doesn't make a mistake! Touch shorter from Foulkes, not even missing his length by that much. But Rohit's hands are so fast, he lifts it over square for a big six.

IND vs NZ Live Score: Gill had been kept very quiet, but gets room from Jamieson this time. Is able to flash his hands and pierce the gap.

IND vs NZ Live Score: Very accurate and tight from the new ball bowlers. Targeting the stumps but nothing too easy to put away on the pads. Rohit and Gill taking it calm and easy thus far.

IND vs NZ Live Score: Here we go. 301 to get. The batters will back themselves – what can the Kiwi bowlers offer early on?

IND vs NZ Live Score: 14-run over and the Kiwis do reach that 300 mark. It's a solid finish to the innings, thanks to Daryl Mitchell, but all in all India will be pretty happy with how they have responded.

All three seamers taking 2 wickets each, and it's a solid performance, especially through the middle portion of the innings.

IND vs NZ Live Score: Can NZ work their way to 300? Prasidh with the last over, debutant Clarke facing up on 15*…

IND vs NZ Live Score: Great response from Prasidh after going for 14! Full straight and fast this time, no frills. Mitchell tries to drive it through the line, but beaten by some late movement. Umpire's finger is almost up before the bowler can even appeal.

Great innings by Mitchell, NZ now 281/8 – just about par.

IND vs NZ Live Score: Great batting against Prasidh! Mitchell shuffles across and uses his pace to scoop him over fine leg for four, and is ready for the slower one the next ball. Sits on it and crushes it over midwicket.

Can Prasidh respond? It's a good short ball – but nicely played by Mitchell! Hooks it very fine and runs away for four more.

IND vs NZ Live Score: Mitchell finally manages to get one away. He's batting quite well here, and is a key wicket if India want to restrict the Kiwis to under 300.

IND vs NZ Live Score: India's seamers bowling really well to Mitchell, giving him nothing at length to swing through. Either slow and into the pitch or fast and at his toes. Difficult for him to get anything away at the moment.

5 overs left to play.

IND vs NZ Live Score: There's another in quick succession! Foulkes faces just his second ball, tries to guide Siraj down to third, but it's an inside edge which cannons into his stumps.

239/7 now, and Mitchell running out of partners.

IND vs NZ Live Score: Shreyas Iyer's impact! Electric in the field, can make things happen. Is fielding at long-on, has to run in a long way from the fence, but gets there so quick. Clean one-handed pick-up and fire, and he hoses down Bracewell trying to complete his second. Incredible work on his return!

IND vs NZ Live Score: This has been a fine counterattacking knock from Daryl Mitchell just to put some emphasis into the innings. Brings up his 50 but with 8 overs to play, needs a little bit more to push this score to 300.

IND vs NZ Live Score: That's the ball of the day so far! Fast and accurate, on a length, Hay doesn't know if he should go forward or back. Stuck in the crease and feet go nowhere, so a little bit of nip back into him beats him all ends up. Through his guard and removes the bails. Excellent ball.

IND vs NZ Live Score: New Zealand still going at a strong rate and picking up boundaries to keep the score ticking along. Mitchell has worked his way to 33*, and Mitch Hay has a strong and quick 17* to get going early. They know they will need at least 300 to be competitive.

IND vs NZ Live Score: Kuldeep Yadav weaves his web! It's a nice tossed up one outside off stump, which Phillips pushes at. Thick outside edge, loops straight to Shreyas Iyer at cover. Simple catch. 170/4.

IND vs NZ Live Score: Daryl Mitchell is NZ's premier batter in this format, and he takes on the spinners here just to get some momentum back into this innings.

166/3 after 32 overs, and drinks again.

IND vs NZ Live Score: The result Shubman Gill wanted when he brought on Siraj! He has bowled very well, and gets reward – hangs it out in the channel with a shorter, and Young is too tentative with his half-hearted uppercut, and edges through to KL Rahul.

146/3 now!

IND vs NZ Live Score: Shubman Gill turns back to his lead seamer Mohammed Siraj as India try to target the two new batters in. Another wicket here soon and India will have their noses ahead.

IND vs NZ Live Score: Very very good spell from Harshit Rana, makes it count! Around the wicket to Conway, goes pace on, makes it seam back in, and beats the expansive drive. Crashes through the gate and removes his stumps! Great bowling from Harshit, 126/2 now.

India vs New Zealand 1st ODI, IND vs NZ Live: India doing well to dry up boundaries in the last couple overs. Nicholls left after a brief period where NZ turned the scoring up, but India making sure they don't leak runs with the new man in.

India vs New Zealand 1st ODI, IND vs NZ Live: Very interesting spell from Harshit Rana. Has a decent slower ball and using it quite a bit in this match. Mixing his pace up and keeping NZ on their toes.

India vs New Zealand 1st ODI, IND vs NZ Live: Gill hasn't used Jadeja yet with the two lefties batting in tandem, but turns to him now that the right-hander Will Young is on.

India vs New Zealand 1st ODI, IND vs NZ Live: There's the wicket India really needed! Rana goes short into Nicholls' body twice and gets smashed for two consecutive fours; next ball is a slow cutter well outside off-stump, and Nicholls reaches for it. It's a thick edge, dropping on KL Rahul, who gets across to take a nice catch.

Crucial moment. 117/1 now.

India vs New Zealand 1st ODI, IND vs NZ Live: Henry Nicholls also looking in top touch. Doesn't look bothered at all. Rotating the strike, not facing dot balls, and making Kuldeep Yadav pay for his early mistake.

India vs New Zealand 1st ODI, IND vs NZ Live: Conway, now set, interested in counter-attacking and pushing this scoring rate with plenty of batting to come behind him.
