And India have beaten New Zealand in the third ODI by 90 runs. Rohit Sharma's men have clean-swept New Zealand in the series by 3-0 to also take the No.1 spot in ODI in the world. Chahal takes the final wicket of Santner as he pitched this up. Santner wanted to clear the ropes on long on but gets a toe end as Kohli takes the catch. This was a dominant show by India. They did well in the first innings but lost their way a bit in the end. Come to the bowling, India kept New Zealand under the pump. Conway was the star batter for them as he kept NZ very much in the hunt. He partnered well with Nicholls and Mitchell as the game was in balance then. But Shardul bowled a brilliant spell to take three wickets, cleaning up Mitchell, Latham, and Phillips. Umran got the prized wicket of Conway with his pace and Bracewell was done by Kuldeep as India then completed the formalities. So India are the new No.1 team and New Zealand are pushed to fourth. That's it from our coverage
Kuldeep Yadav gets a third wicket as Ferguson is brilliantly caught by Rohit at mid-wicket. This was not timed well as he pushed this on the leg side but Rohit puts his hand out running as he takes a good one-handed catch.
It's another big wicket for India as Kuldeep Yadav has got Bracewell out stumped. A partnership was building and Yadav was able to apply breaks on this. He anticipated Bracewell coming down the track and bowled it away on his legs. Bracewell missed the shot and Kishan does the rest. India have possibly drawn curtains here now.
And it is an end to a brilliant knock by Devon Conway. Umran Malik has got a highly prized wicket for India now. This was a good length ball that came firing to the left-hander. Possibly stayed a bit low as Conway hits straight towards mid-wicket. Rohit takes a fine catch, which came straight to him. India now ahead. Santner comes out to bat with Bracewell. Sounds like a dangerous pair, right? India shall get past them too as they showed their mettle in the 1st ODI.
Devon Conway is certainly not giving it up. He suffered cramps but is still smashing those balls. Gosh, he is keeping NZ very much in the hunt. Bracewell has also struck a four. IND need Conway to possibly draw curtains.
Shardul Thakur is proving to be the man for India. He has sent back Phillips on this short ball as the batter hit the ball straight up with Kohli grabbing it. NZ on the back foot in space of 3 overs.
Shardul breaks the partnership between Conway and Mitchell and sends back NZ captain Latham on the first ball duck. This will give a big boost to India.
Devon Conway has smashed a hundred here as he is keeping New Zealand in the hunt. This is class innings and highly needed as well. NZ need him to carry on as almost 200 runs are needed in nearly 25 overs.
Devon Conway is playing a much-needed knock for his team. He is in 80s and closing to a ton. NZ are striking close to 7 runs an over and despite, two wickets are down, this match is very much alive. NZ have some batting to come and IND would have to get rid of Conway first.
