India vs New Zealand, 3rd ODI: India beat New Zealand by six runs in thriller; clinch series 2-1

New Zealand need 12 runs from 2 balls. Southee is the new man in. Another low full toss and Grandhomme sends it straight down the long off fielder for a single. 

The final ball goes for a boundary but that matters to nothing in the end.

Jasprit Bumrah to bowl the final over. A key over. Starts off with a beautiful yorker. Grandhomme can only get the bat to the ball. Comes straight back to Bumrah. 

The second delivery, too, is in the block hole. Results in a single.

Third delivery of the over goes down to fine leg. Two runs this time.

New Zealand need 12 runs from 3 balls. It is a full toss and it is straight down Dhawan's throat. New Zealand are 326/7 with Santner dismissed.

Not been Bhuvi's day in Kanpur. He finishes with 10-0-92-1. NZ need 15 runs in 6 balls

UH-OH! Bad ball by Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Not been his day from the start. A bouncer for Santner and he sends it over the boundary line. Brings the equation to 18 runs required from 10 balls

BIG BIG WICKET FOR INDIA! Tom Latham is caught short at the non-striker's end with combination work from MS Dhoni and Jasprit Bumrah. Excellent yorker by Bumrah to Grandhomme and a panic situation results in the run out. New Zealand are 312/6 

India have reviewed LBW dismissal on Tom Latham. Looked to have pitched outside leg but upon a lengthy look by the third umpire, it is given not out

GONE! Cracking yorker from Bhuvi and he dismantles the leg stump to dismiss Nicholls

This game is finely poised. New Zealand need 55 runs from 36 balls. Tom Latham on 57 and Henry Nicholls 21.

Tom Latham and Ross Taylor have New Zealand going at a strong 6.13 runs per over. But the required rate of 9 runs an over is a mountain. A wicket here and the momentum could be India's way. Or one/two good overs, the balance could tip the Kiwis' way. 

India have New Zealand on to 194/3 in 33 overs. Need 144 from 102 balls. Clearly the departure of Kane Williamson and Colin Munro has helped India's cause. Unless Tom Latham and Ross Taylor pick up the pace equally. 

GONE! India needed a breakthrough and Chahal provides it with the wicket of Munro. The Kiwi batsman goes for 75. This one is tossed up slightly, Munro goes for a big hit and a slog shot but doesn't get anything on it. New Zealand are 153/2

Colin Munro (66) and Kane Williamson (48) have New Zealand in comfortable place. New Zealand are 131/1 in the 21st over. Despite the big target, India will have to work hard to defend this if these two continue unabated. 

End of the Powerplay overs with New Zealand 74/1. And with that comes the spin for India. Axar Patel comes into the attack and goes for six runs. 

GONE! After a strong start, Martin Guptill perishes for 10. Tries to go over the infield but fails to beat Dinesh Karthik at long off. New Zealand are 44/1. 

Terrible start for India and Bhvuneshwar Kumar. He concedes 19 runs in the first over as Colin Munro goes all guns blazing from the word go. He has Martin Guptill for support. Jasprit Bumrah is on at the other end

India finish with with 337 for the loss of 6 wickets.  Kedar Jadhav is caught at long-on on the final delivery!

WICKET! MS Dhoni could not hit the big shot! Milne with a slower balls and Dhoni tried to hit it too hard. A thick outside edge that flies to short third-man

SIX! A stunning shot from Jadhav over fine-leg for a six. 12 runs from the 49th over. 6 balls remaining. India 331 for 4

12 runs off the 48th over. MS Dhoni finishes it with a four! India move on to 319 for 4.

Virat Kohli's majestic innings of 113 runs ends as he is caught at long-off. Tried to hit it over the boundary but it hits on the higher side of the bat

300 up for India! Another four for Virat Kohli. Surprisingly this is only his ninth in this innings!

India are 295 for the loss of three wickets after 46 overs. 24 balls remaining. Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni at the crease

Pandya tries a big shot but could not get the distance. He is caught in the deep at long-off

A stunning innings from Indian captain! He scores his 32nd ODI century. Fastest to 9000 ODI runs

FOUR! Hardik Pandya with an awkward looking slash over point region for a boundary!

WICKET! Rohit Sharma falls. A stunning innings of 147 runs. He tries to clear the boundary straight down the wicket but it goes straight to long-off. Santner has a wicket

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma with another ugly moment in running. Rohit survives this time, just!

Rohit Sharma picking his spots easily! He is hitting the ball to all sides of the ground. Strike rate over 100 now

35 overs gone in Kanpur and India are 196 for the loss of one wicket! How many more can they get in 90 balls?

Rohit Sharma brings up his 15th ODI century with a single towards deep square-leg. What an innings this has been. Off 106 balls

Rohit tucks one to deep square-leg and takes a single. Moves on to 99* now

Virat Kohli is shifting gears! Consecutive boundaries for him as he moves into the 60s

A single down the ground and Virat Kohli completes his 46th ODI half-century. Brilliant innings!

Rohit Sharma into the 90s and Virat Kohli one run away from 50. This has been an excellent partnership

Santner drifts on to Rohit Sharma's pads and he lifts it over long-on fence for a bog six!

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are enjoying it in the middle!

100-run partnership between Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli for the second wicket!

Rohit Sharma joins the 1, 000-run club in ODIs this year! A single down the third man to reach 71 and 1000 runs in 2017

Rohit is just toying with this bowling. Exceptional shot. On the up and over covers off De Grandhomme

100 up for India in the 19th over with Rohit Sharma and Kohli at the crease!

FIFTY! Rohit Sharma brings up his fifty in almost run a ball. His 35th ODI fifty. India inching towards the 100-run mark in Kanpur. 

Two boundaries for Rohit Sharma in the Santner over and he moves on to 44! Seriously good innings this

End of the 13th over and India are 68 for the loss of 1 wicket. Mitchell Santner to bowl now

They were actually stunning shots!

Oh! Two great shots from @imVkohli . Which was better? The flick through mid-wicket or this cover drive. Cover drive for me

— Harsha Bhogle (@bhogleharsha) 29 October 2017

Close! Rohit Sharma defends the ball with soft hands and it is rolling back to the stumps before the batsman puts his bat in the way

You don't bowl there to Rohit Sharma! He picks it from around his waist and sends it over mid-wicket for a six! Kohli applauds

Beautiful! Typical Virat Kohli cover drive to start the ninth over with a four. Stunning shot

And another four from Rohit Sharma to finish the eighth over! India 39 for the loss of one wicket

Virat Kohli gets off the mark with a boundary through square-leg region on the third ball he faces

WICKET! We spoke a bit too early. Shikhar Dhawan hits one straight to mid-off and perishes. Southee with a decent delivery which hit the upper part of Dhawan's bat

A watchful start from the Indian openers and they have taken the score to 29 for no loss after 6 overs

A short-pitched delivery from Southee and Rohit gets a top edge. It flies over the slip cordon for four!

Wide again from Boult and Dhawan is quick to punish it. Smashes it through covers for four!

After three dot balls, Dhawan puts one away! Just opening the face of the bat towards the point region and he gets four!

Trent Boult to share the new ball with Southee as India take seven runs from the first over

Tim Southee goes wide and Rohit Sharma cuts it for four! First boundary of the match for India

Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma will open the batting for India. Time Southee to bowl

The players are walking out to the middle for the National Anthems. First will be New Zealand's followed by India's.

Both captains say that their teams are unchanged for this decider. This means Kuldeep Yadav will not play at his home ground in India colours
