HIGHLIGHTS India vs New Zealand, 3rd ODI

HIGHLIGHTS IND vs NZ 3rd ODI: That is it from our live coverage of India vs New Zealand third ODI match live from Mount Maunganui. New Zealand registered a series victory after the side defeated India in the second ODI by 22 runs. The heroics from Ravindra Jadeja and Navdeep Saini's willow went in vain as the hosts held nerve to deny India a chance of comeback in the series. However, Virat and co. will remain upbeat to turn up in the third ODI to avoid a series whitewash in Mount Maunganui. India have never lost with a whitewash in ODIs in the past 14 years. While Kane Williamson is expected to return for the Kiwis, changes are also expected in the Indian playing XI, as the skipper confirmed that the management may look to experiment with the combination in the final game. Here, you can find the ball by ball updates from the third IND vs NZ ODI at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui. LIVE SCORECARD | LIVE STREAMING

11.12 IST: Southee to Jadeja, FOUR! Jadeja was ready to place this ball behind the short third-man. Southee had been regularly bowling way outside off and Jadeja simply flicked it for four.

11.08 IST: Bennett to Saini, FOUR! Finds a thick inside-edge and the ball travels to the backward point!

11.05 IST: Bennett to Thakur, OUT! A full toss but Thakur fails to connect it properly. The ball sails high in the air and that's another good catch from de Grandhomme.

09.52 IST: Bennet to Rahul, FOUR! Classy! Simply pushes the ball straight this time.

09.46 IST: Bennett to Rahul, 2 runs. 50 for Rahul - his eighth in ODIs. But Rahul will need to stay at the crease for long.

09.44 IST: Manish Pandey is the new man in.

09.41 IST: Neesham to Iyer, OUT! A brilliant catch from de Grandhomme! The ball rose sharply after pitched a little behind good length and Iyer justifiably failed to adjust to the bounce. A flick shot lofted over short midwicket was caught by Colin de Grandhomme.

08.53 IST: Mitchell Santner replaces Tim Southee

08.50 IST: Neesham to Iyer, FOUR! Iyer tries to find the gap in the square but a thick outside-edge directs the ball over the second slip to third-man.

08.40 IST: Southee to Rahul, FOUR! A brilliant pull shot which exuberates of class from Rahul! 

08.31 IST: Southee to Iyer, FOUR! A beautiful straight drive to end the over. After a flurry of dots following the dismissal of Shaw, this one was a little loose from Southee as he directs it in Iyer's slot, and the batsman simply guides it straight.

08.29 IST: Tim Southee replaces Colin de Grandhomme

08.27 IST: Bennett to Rahul, FOUR! Cuts it towards the midwicket and Rahul gets off the mark.

08.24 IST: KL Rahul is the new man in.

08.23 IST: Bennett to Shaw, RUN OUT! That is such a poor way to go! Shaw flicks the ball down the leg-side towards backward point. He ran considerably slow and fails to reach in time for the second run as Latham strikes the bails. India in trouble.

08.21 IST: Grandhomme to Iyer, FOUR! A repeat of almost all the fours being hit so far. He cuts it towards square and the ball races towards the boundary.

08.19 IST: Colin de Grandhomme replaces Kyle Jamieson

08.11 IST: Jamieson to Shreyas, FOUR! And this time it's Shreyas! Same place as the last two deliveries, as he cuts it square again.

08.08 IST: Bennett to Shaw, SIX! Shaw remains unfazed with the big guns going cheaply. He has dispatched the short-pitched delivery with a brilliant pull shot over midwicket.

08.01 IST: Shreyas Iyer is the new man in.

07.59 IST: Bennett to Kohli, OUT! Bennett entices Virat with a short ball and the Indian captain couldn't resist a hit! He couldn't find the perfect connection, however, as Kyle Jamieson catches the ball easily on the third man boundary.

07.56 IST: Hamish Bennett replaces Tim Southee

07.54 IST: Jamieson to Shaw, FOUR! Short-pitched and outside-off, and Shaw goes on the backfoot to cut it square! The Indian youngster lofts it over the point as Shaw registers another boundary.

07.47 IST: Southee to Kohli, SIX! Counter-attack from the Indian skipper! After being beaten on a number of occasions, Kohli finally decides to step out and swing the ball towards the cow-corner for the first six of the innings!

07.46 IST: Jamieson to Shaw, FOUR! First boundary of the Indian innings in the final ball of the fourth over. Shaw cuts it beautifully and the ball races towards the rope. The outfield is considerably slow at Bay Oval today.

07.44 IST: Virat is finding it tough early on. He has been beaten thrice in his first five deliveries, all with outswingers from Southee and Jamieson. 

07.38 IST: Virat Kohli is the new man in. 

07.36 IST: Jamieson to Mayank, OUT! An outswinger and Mayank completely fails the flick shot! A poor start to his one-day career. This time, Jamieson castles the off-stump.

07.35 IST: Kyle Jamieson to bowl from the other end.

07.31 IST: A good first over from Southee. Bowling largely on the off to get the edge and nearly got Mayank on the fifth delivery, but found a thick-edge. Five runs off the over.

07.30 IST: Tim Southee to bowl the first over.

07.28 IST: The players are out on the field. Prithvi Shaw and Mayank Agarwal are opening the innings for India. Quite possibly, the final chance for both the players to impress in the fifty-over format for quite some time.

07.12 IST: Mitchell Santner has come in for Tom Blundell for New Zealand. For many, sanity prevails for India as Manish Pandey gets a game. Was this series the last of Kedar Jadhav in Indian colour?
