India vs New Zealand 3rd ODI LIVE

OUT! And now Virat Kohli's back in the hut as India lose their fourth wicket. Kohli attempts an aerial drive off Jacob Duffy, but doesn't quite connect as desired. The bat turns in his hand, resulting in a comfortable catch for Finn Allen at mid off. IND 284/4

OUT! Huge mix-up between Ishan Kishan and Virat Kohli after the former initially called for a single. Kohli continues running after Kishan's last-minute "NO" and his junior teammate allows him to reach the popping crease at the striker's end first to preserve his wicket. New Zealand, meanwhile, continue to claw back. IND 268/3

After 34 overs,India 267/2 ( Virat Kohli 27 , Ishan Kishan (W) 17)

Kishan takes his time to settle himself at the crease, but does accelerate sooner rather than later. After smashing Santner for a six over deep midwicket, Kishan collects his first four off Bracewell, smacking the ball through the extra cover region.

SIX! Ishan Kishan shifts gears in style, getting down on one knee and slog-sweeping the ball into the stands beyond deep midwicket for a 71-metre hit. IND 258/2

15:55 (IST)

After 32 overs,India 251/2 ( Virat Kohli 23 , Ishan Kishan (W) 5)

Couple of quiet overs for the Indians, a welcome development for the Black Caps who have a lot to do just to restrict the hosts to 400 or less from here. The 250, meanwhile, comes up for the Indians. Virat's off to a promising start, having collected 23 off 14, while Kishan's (5 off 15) taking his time at the centre.

After 30 overs,India 243/2 ( Virat Kohli 20 , Ishan Kishan (W) 0)

Opportunity for the Black Caps to tilt the momentum in their favour with Rohit and Gill both gone in a space of a few deliveries. There is of course, the Virat Kohli factor to contend with, and the former captain fires a warning with six and back-to-back fours, all of them coming off Blair Tickner's bowling albeit in different overs. The Men in Blue are just seven short of the 250-mark with another 20 overs left in the innings, and will have 450 in sight from here.

15:37 (IST)

IND vs NZ LIVE Score

OUT! Much like Rohit, Gill departs not long after bringing up the three-figure mark. A short ball from Tickner in the previous delivery was struck for a six, but this time the tall bowler bowls it slightly wider, resulting in a leading edge and subsequently, a sitter for Conway at point. IND 230/2

SIX! Muscled over the midwicket fence by Gill off Tickner, and that gets him level with Pakistan captain Babar Azam for most runs collected by a batter in a three-match ODI series (360). IND 230/2

15:28 (IST)

India vs New Zealand 3rd ODI LIVE

BOWLED! Rohit's stay at the crease comes to an end as New Zealand FINALLY manage to break the opening partnership. Rohit goes for a wild heave towards the leg side right after bringing up his century, but ends up missing the ball completely, resulting in Michael Bracewell becoming the first Kiwi bowler to get a wicket today. As on-air commentator Harsha Bhogle points out, a batter with 30 ODI tons departs, and is replaced by a batter with 46 ODI tons. IND 212/1

Rohit b Bracewell 101(85)

FOUR! And now Shubman Gill follows suit, bringing up his century in the same over as Rohit Sharma, albeit with a boundary and taking 11 less deliveries than his skipper. Takes off his helmet and bows in celebration after guiding the ball behind square. IND 212/0

15:21 (IST)

India vs New Zealand LIVE Score

Hundred for Rohit Sharma off 83 deliveries, the India skipper becoming only the fourth cricketer to score 30 tons in the one-day international format! Brings up the milestone with a single off Blair Tickner shortly after the halfway mark. This is also his first ODI century since January 2020. Rohit now has the joint-third most tons in one-dayers alongside Ricky Ponting, who also scored 30 ODI tons. IND 206/0

15:18 (IST)

IND vs NZ LIVE Cricket Score

After 25 overs,India 205/0 ( Rohit Sharma (C) 99 , Shubman Gill 98)

Gill brings up the 200-opening stand with a single off Bracewell at the start of the 25th over. Tidy over from the offie with just six runs coming off it, none off them off boundaries, with Rohit retaining the strike with a single off the last delivery that takes him to 99. At the halfway stage, India certainly are staring at a humongous total.

15:10 (IST)

IND vs NZ LIVE Score

After 23 overs,India 193/0 ( Rohit Sharma (C) 94 , Shubman Gill 91)

Shubman Gill joins Rohit Sharma in the nervous nineties in style with a four and a six off consecutive deliveries from Michael Bracewell, who is finally introduced in the attack in the 23rd over. Gill goes for an inside out loft over extra cover off a wide delivery to collect a four before getting down on one knee and slog-sweeping the ball into the stands beyond deep midwicket.

15:03 (IST)

India vs New Zealand 3rd ODI LIVE Score

FOUR! Just a deft touch from Rohit off Mitchell, guiding the ball towards the third man fence, and into to nervous nineties is the Indian skipper! IND 178/0

15:02 (IST)

After 20 overs,India 165/0 ( Rohit Sharma (C) 80 , Shubman Gill 77)

Santner and Mitchell continue to bowl for the Black Caps, with the 150-stand between Rohit and Gill coming up in the former's fourth over. Four leg byes are added to the Indian score in the following over, the umpire initially signalling it as a boundary before it is found to have beaten Gill's inside edge as well as the keeper on its way to the long stop fence. Santner then bowls his most tidy over of the day in the 20th, conceding just three singles.

14:45 (IST)

India vs New Zealand 3rd ODI LIVE

After 17 overs,India 147/0 ( Rohit Sharma (C) 77 , Shubman Gill 67)

Santner continues to bleed runs, conceding 12 off his third including a four and a six to Gill. Mitchell is comparatively tidy in the following over, conceding just three off the next five deliveries after getting hit for a boundary by Rohit off the first delivery. Umpire signals drinks at the end of the 17th over.

14:43 (IST)

India vs New Zealand LIVE Cricket Score

After 15 overs,India 128/0 ( Rohit Sharma (C) 71 , Shubman Gill 55)

It's absolute carnage out there at the Holkar Stadium, with the New Zealand bowlers struggling to come up with answers against Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill, both of whom have crossed the fifty mark and are charging towards the bigger milestones with absolute menace.

Rohit smashes two sixes off Santner in the 14th, the first of which flies straight over the bowler's head to bring up his 49th ODI half-century. Daryl Mitchell replaces Tickner in the following over and the Indian skipper welcomes him with three fours in four deliveries.

14:34 (IST)

India vs New Zealand LIVE Score

SIX! And now Rohit Sharma gets to his half-century — his 49th in one-dayers — in style with a flat six over Mitch Santner's head! Takes 39 balls to bring up the milestone today. IND 107/0

14:30 (IST)

IND vs NZ LIVE Cricket Score

After 13 overs,India 101/0 ( Rohit Sharma (C) 45 , Shubman Gill 54)

Not long after Shubman Gill brings up his half-century does he bring up the century opening stand with a single off Blair Tickner, who appears to be bowling on an entirely different surface compared to his colleagues. Just four off the 13th over.

14:22 (IST)

IND vs NZ LIVE Score

FOUR! Shubman Gill brings up his sixth ODI half-century in just 33 deliveries, getting to the milestone with a boundary in Mitchell Santner's first over of the day. IND 96/0

14:17 (IST)

India vs New Zealand 3rd ODI LIVE Score

After 10 overs,India 82/0 ( Rohit Sharma (C) 39 , Shubman Gill 41)

Tickner bowls out a tidy over, conceding just one off the ninth, after the carnage in the previous over bowled by Ferguson. Jacob Duffy is brought back after a three-over opening spell, replacing Ferguson, and this time it's Rohit Sharma making merry, smashing two sixes and a four. 17 off the over, as India end Powerplay 1 on 82 for now loss.

14:09 (IST)

India vs New Zealand 3rd ODI LIVE

After 8 overs,India 64/0 ( Rohit Sharma (C) 21 , Shubman Gill 41)

4, 0, 4, 4, 6, 4! That is what Lockie Ferguson's fourth over reads, right after the Kiwi pacer collects a maiden. And it's Shubman Gill all the way, collecting four boundaries along with a maximum off a slap behind point. Gill has shifted gears and how, with Rohit playing the happy spectator for now.

14:07 (IST)

India vs New Zealand LIVE Cricket Score

FOUR! Shubman Gill brings up the fifty opening partnership with Rohit Sharma with a boundary off Lockie Ferguson! Not for the first time in this innings does Gill use Ferguson's express pace to guide it towards the third man fence for a four. IND 50/0

14:04 (IST)

India vs New Zealand LIVE Score

After 7 overs,India 42/0 ( Rohit Sharma (C) 21 , Shubman Gill 19)

Blair Tickner is introduced in the attack in the seventh over in place of Jacob Duffy after Lockie Ferguson collects a maiden in the sixth, and is off to an expensive start, going for 11 including a boundary each to Gill and Rohit.

13:51 (IST)

IND vs NZ LIVE Cricket Score

SIX! And now Gill collects the first maximum of the innings as well. Duffy digs this short and Gill has little problem dispatching this over the long leg fence, producing the kind of pull short that would earn him a pat on the back from his skipper standing at the other end. IND 23/0

13:44 (IST)

IND vs NZ LIVE Score

Rohit Sharma collects his first boundary of the innings with an exquisite cover drive off Jacob Duffy at the start of the third over. Follows it up with a clip through the midwicket region two deliveries later, the ball comfortably beating a chasing fielder on its way to the rope. IND 15/0

13:42 (IST)

India vs New Zealand 3rd ODI LIVE Score

After 2 overs,India 7/0 ( Rohit Sharma (C) 2 , Shubman Gill 4)

Lockie Ferguson steams in from the other end, and it's not long before he's hitting the late 140s on the speed gun. The extra pace, however, means the ball will travel just as quickly towards the boundary rope, as is the case in the third delivery in which Shubman Gill collects the first boundary of the innings.

13:37 (IST)

India vs New Zealand 3rd ODI LIVE

FOUR! Shubman Gill uses the extra pace on offer to collect the first boundary of the innings. Opens the face of the bat and guides this wide of the slip fielders, and the ball races away to the third man fence.

13:35 (IST)

India vs New Zealand LIVE Cricket Score

After 1 over,India 3/0 ( Rohit Sharma (C) 2 , Shubman Gill 0)

Duffy starts off with a wide down leg. Keeps it tidy in the next four deliveries, collecting four dots in a row, before Rohit goes for an inside out shot over the cover region, coming back for a second to collect the first runs off the bat.

13:31 (IST)

India vs New Zealand LIVE Score

Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill walk out to open the Indian innings after New Zealand opt to field in the final one-dayer. Jacob Duffy, who has been brought into the XI in place of Henry Shipley, will bowl the first over.

India vs New Zealand LIVE Cricket Score

Tom Latham, New Zealand captain: Potential dew later on, and hopefully it might skid on later under lights. It is high scoring, and it’s the nature of the short boundaries. One change, Jacob Duffy is in for Henry Shipley.

Rohit Sharma, India captain: We wanted to bat first. Not worrying too much about the conditions. We want to keep testing ourselves. It’s quite crucial that we get the tick there. We are looking at the larger picture here, get some of the guys who haven’t played a game get an opportunity. We’ve got two changes. Both seamers out — Shami and Siraj. Umran Malik and Yuzvendra Chahal in.

12:56 (IST)

Danny Morrison and Ajit Agarkar analyse the Indore pitch:

DM: Overhead conditions gorgeous. It’s not the biggest stadium. 60-61 sideways. Downtown 69 metres. Some pockets are only 54 metres. Tough gig for the bowlers.

AA: We saw a little bit of joy for the seamers in Raipur. Not quite the case here. Nice covering of grass, will hold the pitch together. The ball will only skid on better later in the evening.

“Not that I am aware of (India adopting split captaincy). That’s a question you need to ask the selectors but as of now, I don’t think so"

India head coach Rahul Dravid doesn't think the Men in Blue will opt for split captaincy right away amid discussions over Hardik Pandya taking over the T20I leadership from Rohit Sharma on a full-time basis.

Despite enjoying an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series, Shubman and Rohit have been the only two batters among runs for the hosts. At the same time, it is also a fact that the others haven’t been tested and the dead rubber will be the perfect opportunity for the likes of Ishan Kishan, Hardik Pandya, and Suryakumar Yadav to get some batting practice in match situations.
