India vs New Zealand, 2nd ODI: NZ beat India by 22 runs to seal series 2-0

Luteru Ross Poutoa Lote Taylor. What a champion knock. Yes, the match is not over. This is not even a match-winning total. It takes great courage to play an innings of character. But it takes greater courage to play an innings out of character. When Rosco stepped in, the Kiwis were in excellent shape and given the touch he was in, he could have easily gone berserk. But in the span of an hour, he saw how the innings got derailed. He curbed his shots and never really played freely. His responsible knock has ensured New Zealand have got something to bowl at.

How did the game come to that stage though? A typical New Zealand collapse. They were 142/1 in the 27th over, thanks to a fine 93-run opening stand and contributions from Guptill, Nicholls and Blundell in the top 3. But Blundell's wicket led to a collapse as the Kiwis slipped from 142/1 to 197/8. Full marks to debutant Kyle Jamieson who hung around with Ross Taylor.

A sub-par total on a good pitch, on a ground with shorter dimensions. But that unbeaten partnership of 76 for the 9th wicket has given the Kiwis a glimmer of a hope. They still need to bowl out of their skins but from a position where 200 looked difficult, they inched close to 275.

J Bumrah to R Taylor, Just a single off the final ball. Taylor punches this through the covers and takes a run. Jamieson wants two but Rosco sends him back. Not sure why. Perhaps he was tired. Jamieson is gone for all money but Prithvi Shaw returns a weak throw and Kyle gets back. INDIA NEED 274 TO WIN!

J Bumrah to K Jamieson, A fine yorker, on middle, Jamieson digs it out towards short fine leg. A run taken.

J Bumrah to K Jamieson, SIX! HUMONGOUS! A length ball outside off, Jamieson lofts this high in the air. Mid off is up and he has cleared him. But he has cleared the ropes too!

J Bumrah to R Taylor, Good effort from Shardul Thakur. Full and outside off, Taylor squeezes it through third man and nearly gets it through. But Thakur dives to his right and makes a good stop. Keeps the batsmen to a single.

J Bumrah to R Taylor, FOUR! This takes guts. A length ball, outside off, Taylor reverse paddles it over the keeper to the third man fence!

J Bumrah to K Jamieson, Full on middle, pushed through mid on for a single.

N Saini to R Taylor, Wide yorker outside off, Taylor looks to reach out and steer it to third man but misses. They look to steal a bye but Jamieson sends Taylor back. Saini finishes with figures of 10-0-48-0.

N Saini to K Jamieson, A short ball, around middle, Kyle looks to pull but the ball goes off his gloves through mid-wicket. Just a single.

N Saini to R Taylor, A full toss, bunted down to long on for a single. Jamieson wants the second but Taylor sends him back. It is a rocket throw from Ravindra Jadeja and Navdeep Saini bears the brunt of it. Feels the pain.

N Saini to R Taylor, RUN OUT MISSED! A length ball, outside off, Taylor swings hard but gets a top edge which goes very fine of third man. Prithvi Shaw hares across to his left but returns a very poor throw. The batsmen take the second on the throw and Rahul collects it to his right and then tries to parry it onto the stumps. Misses. Replays show that had Rahul hit, Taylor would have been gone!

N Saini to R Taylor, FOUR! Terrific shot. Full on middle, Taylor just swings it through square leg and the ball races to the fence!

N Saini to K Jamieson, Full and outside off, Jamieson looks to drive but gets a thick outside edge towards third man. He is very fine and the batsmen get just a single.
