NZ VS IND - 5th ODI, India tour of New Zealand, 2019

Rohit is joined by the team as he collects the trophy. He hands it over to Shubman Gill, who looks a bit shy and doesn't know what to do with it. But there are enough people guiding him on the celebratory pose. It's a 4-1 series win, and today's victory especially will please India no end, the way they turned it around from 18/4 in tough conditions. Onto the T20Is now that will get underway from Wednesday. That's all for today. Hope you enjoyed the coverage. It's a goodbye from Sagar Chawla, Ramakrishnan, Hariprasad Sadanandan and Venky.

Rohit, India captain: Especially after the Hamilton loss, that was a big loss for us the way we lost there. At the toss I said we needed to come together as a team and we did that. Four down, we needed someone to apply, and Rayudu and Vijay Shankar did that. The way Hardik and Kedar played was magnificent. We showed a lot of character. With the ball as well. The wicket got flat at the end, with the dew. At one point it looked like it would be an easy chase. But lot of people put their hands up and got us through. I knew there was some moisture in the pitch. If the series was on the line, I would've batted second. Wasn't easy after losing four wickets at the start. Thought 250 was a very good score on that pitch. Bowlers got crucial breakthroughs at critical times. When you want to win games, you've got to find the right balance. Coming here and beating NZ at home wasn't going to be easy. The achievement we've had today is a great achievement to have.

Williamson, NZ captain: It was a different surface which certainly was a challenge. We saw that with the ball in hand. Got away from us towards the end which probably took them at par or probably more. Scoring rate never got away from us but it was just that we lost wickets at the wrong time. They did it pretty well through Rayudu with 90. For long parts they didn't score. We knew it was going to be tough. We know how well India bowl on any surface. Their accuracy. If we could've taken the partnerships deeper, like with Tom Latham and myself, it could've been different. Credit to India throughout this series. They've taught us a few lessons in our own conditions. They're a world class outfit, they deserve the series win. We need to learn from these lessons. It's a game of pressure. Throughout this series, they had us under more pressure than we would've liked.

Ambati Rayudu, MoM: It was very tough against a quality bowling attack. Was thinking we should take the game to 30th over without losing another wicket. Our only plan was to play the full fifty overs. Especially for people batting at four, five and six, you get opportunities only when the situation is tough. Don't think setting totals has ever been an issue. That was a one-off game in Hamilton. Might face similar challenges in future. Great effort by our bowlers.

NZ losing four ODIs in a bilateral series at home:
1-4(6) vs Aus, 1999/00
1-4(5) vs SL, 2000/01
0-5(5) vs Aus, 2004/05
1-4(5) vs Ind, 2018/19

22:35 Local Time, 09:35 GMT, 15:05 IST: This is a phenomenal turnaround from India to win the game from 18/4 in their batting innings. Through Rayudu and Vijay Shankar, they were able to get the innings back on track before Hardik Pandya's blitzkrieg propelled them over 250. That was, by no means, a winning score. But their desperation in the field stood out as they came out hunting with the new ball. Mohammed Shami was exceptional much like he has been right through the series. Yuzvendra Chahal was in the wickets again. And the variety of the bowling resources ensured New Zealand never felt settled in the chase. The most they felt settled was when Williamson and Latham constructed a solid partnership for the fourth wicket. But then Kedar Jadhav's golden arm provided the filthy long-hop to put an end to that, before Dhoni's game awareness got rid of the dangerous Neesham when he was threatening to take off. That was it.

Bhuvneshwar to Boult, out Caught by Shami!! Short ball outside off, climbs on Boult as he slashes at it and flies off the top-edge down to third man. Shami dawdles in and cups it comfortably. India seal the series 4-1. Boult c Shami b Bhuvneshwar 1(3)

Bhuvneshwar to Boult, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Bala Ramana: This is a strange match for India as wickets are tumbling at one end but still they are still under some pressure.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar [7.0-0-38-0] is back into the attack

Hardik Pandya to Matt Henry, no run, good response from Pandya, getting it right in the blockhole outside off, Henry doesn't manage to lay a bat on it

Hardik Pandya to Matt Henry, SIX, now this is a nothing ball from Pandya. Slower one dug into the pitch, sits up for Henry who hacks it over square leg, even more convincing than the previous one if that's even possible

Hardik Pandya to Matt Henry, SIX, short ball outside off, Henry bulldozes this pull over cow corner, much like Pandya had done himself earlier in the day. Just brute power

Hardik Pandya to Boult, 1 run, yorker at the stumps, jammed down to long-on

Hardik Pandya to Boult, no run, back of a length delivery outside off, Boult wafts at it flat-footed and is beaten on the edge

Trent Boult, right handed bat, comes to the crease

Hardik Pandya to Santner, out Caught by Shami!! Santner has flicked a leg-stump half-volley straight into the hands of short fine leg. He can't believe it. Not that Pandya, with a sheepish smile, can believe it either. Should be game over for New Zealand. Santner c Shami b Hardik Pandya 22(37)

Hardik Pandya to Santner, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Hardik Pandya [7.0-1-37-1] is back into the attack

Chahal to Matt Henry, no run, flighted up outside off, driven to cover

Chahal to Matt Henry, no run, a slip was added before this delivery, which was a bluff for Chahal to slip the wrong 'un in. Henry doesn't fall for it and keeps it out
