India vs New Zealand 2nd ODI highlights: IND thrash NZ by 8 wickets, seal series win

Oh Phillips tries to take on the big boundary, doesn't quite get it off the middle of the bat and he holes out at deep midwicket. With that goes any slender chance New Zealand had of putting up a competitive total. 

Phillips c Yadav b Washington Sundar 36 (52), New Zealand 103/8 in 31.1 overs

Loopy slow delivery, Santner chops and that is the end of that stand. It is Pandya who gets the breakthrough for India. New Zealand won't be in the middle for long now. 

Santner b Pandya 27 (39), New Zealand 103/7 in 30.1 overs

Partnership between these two has now reached 43 off 68 balls. It is now one run over the stand between Phillips and Bracewell and while it has come at a much slower pace, it has given New Zealand the sense of stability that they could never find in this match. 

Now Santner gets down the wicket to Kuldeep, gets to the pitch of the ball and lofts it past long-on for four. 

Short from Shardul, Phillips pulls it over square leg to the boundary. He is pacing his innings well now. 

Glenn Phillips has hunkered down and is playing quite an uncharacteristic innings here. He is on 26 off 38 while Mitchell Santner is on 8 off 21. 

Shami did it, Pandya did it, Kuldeep could only almost do it. And his was arguably the easiest of the three. Kuldeep gives it some extra flight, Santner doesn't read the wrong'un and goes for the big shot. It loops straight into Kuldeep's hands but the ball bounces off them. He then tries to take the catch again, trips over the stumps at the non-striker's end and falls down, the ball falling safely away from him.   

The danger wont a go-go for New Zealand. Back to back fours off the last two balls and then the wicket. Bouncer by Shami, Bracewell takes it on and gets a slight top edge to the wicketkeeper. 

Bracewell c Ishan Kishan b Mohammed Shami 22 (30), New Zealand 56/6 in 18.3 overs

Half volley from Thakur, Phillips smashes it down to the ground to the boundary. New Zealand 33/5 in 15 overs. 

Thakur sends the second ball of the 13th full and Bracewell leans into the drive and sends it to the boundary. New Zealand need batters to hit it out and go on the counter and they have got the perfect candidates to do so in the middle. They are 28/5 in 12.2 overs.

Short from Pandya, Phillips hooks and gets a top edge but that only flies over the wicketkeeper and rushes to the boundary. India know they have a tricky proposition now. Phillips is in the middle with 1st ODI hero Michael Bracewell, both of them are attacking batters. 

Loose from Pandya for the first ball of the 12th, nice juicy half volley that Glenn Phillips drives through covers. 

New Zealand have lost five wickets for 15 runs! Shardul Thakur strikes and it's captain Tom Latham who goes. Thakur gets this to seam away, Latham takes an uncharacteristic poke at it and it flies to Shubman Gill at slips. New Zealand are slipping and sliding!

Latham c Gill b Thakur 1 (17), New Zealand 15/5 in 10.3 overs

This is even more stunning than what Shami managed two overs ago! Pandya pitches one up Conway hits it back towards the bowler. The ball is quite low going off the bat but it is in the air, Pandya reaches down with his left hand in his follow-through and plucks it. Hardly any celebration from him and so it takes a couple of seconds for the stadium to understand a wicket has fallen. New Zealand are stuck in a hole and being picked apart quite easily. 

Conway c & b Pandya 7 (16), New Zealand 15/4 in 9.4 overs

Both the opening seamers are out of the attack now. New Zealand will be looking to get something going now. 

Shardul Thakur coming in over the wicket, sends in a half volley and Conway cover drives it to the boundary. Some relief for New Zealand. 

A bit of a surprise that this is just the second maiden of this match considering just how difficult it has been for New Zealand to score. Latham survives the eighth and the batters can maybe feel a little relieved as they see Shardul Thakur coming in to replace Shami. But they would know just how big a folly it will be to think that they can now take it easy. New Zealand 10/3 in 8 overs. 

The captain Tom Latham is out and he has Devon Conway at the other end. This has been a real grind for the Kiwis and they are probably just waiting for the moment when one of Shami or Siraj is taken off the attack. They are 10/3 after 7 overs. 

Oh, a sensational one-hander from Shami to get his second. New Zealand going through an early collapse here. Shami had injured his left hand when he put it in the way of a shot in the last match in this manner, remember. Here though, the shot did not have the same venom as the ball is chipped back off the toe-end of Mitchell's bat. Shami has no time to react, puts out his hand as a reflex action and the ball nestles in it.  

Mitchell c & b Mohammed Shami 1 (3), New Zealand 9/3 in 6.1 overs

Shami and Siraj have kept the Kiwis pinned in these early overs. Siraj pitches the first two deliveries around leg stump and then sends this on middle and off. Nicholls takes the bait, outside edge to slip and India are a cock-a-hoop. 

Nicholls c Shubman Gill b Mohammed Siraj 2 (20), New Zealand 8/2 in 5.3 overs

Shami and Siraj have kept the batters on their toe and New Zealand are biding their time for now. Henry Nicholls has scored just one run in 11 balls and Devon Conwaty has scored two in eight. 

The broadcast shows Rahul Dravid sitting with his staff in front of a couple of laptops in the dressing room and commentator Harsha Bhogle says that his co-commentator Ravi Shastri used to be sitting in Dravid's place not too long ago. “No laptops,” says Shastri in reply to sniggers from Bhogle and Danny Morrison. Shastri then hilariously goes on to claim that he doesn't know how to use a laptop. “Phone is enough.” 

That should do the job. Gets it to nip back in and cleans up the stumps behind Allen, does Shami and India have a wicket in the very first over. 

Allen b Mohammed Shami 0 (5), New Zealand 0/1 in 0.5 overs

Raipur is the 50th venue to host an ODI in India. Huge boundaries on all sides so it won't exactly be raining sixes today. Grand Elliot an Murali Karthik said in the pitch report that the surface has an even covering of grass and there are some cracks on it. It's hard, there is some bounce on offer and should help the pacers. Dew could be a factor. An excellent batting surface overall.

“We would have bowled first as well, 1st international game here, so not sure how this wicket will play. Great last game, executed well in the bat and hoping to do the same here. Looking to take back the experience, it's important to win games, but the experience of playing in these conditions will be handy as well. Ish (Sodhi) hasn't still pulled up well, so we're playing the same team.”
