That brings us to the end of our live coverage from this game. India staged a spirited comeback but ultimately fell short by 22 runs. The two teams next meet for the third and final ODI on February 11. Join us again for all the live updates from that game. Till then it's goodbye!
(New Zealand Captain): Obviously, a great victory today. Last game the batters won the game, today the bowlers did the job. I think that total was okay, it was a funny wicket. We managed to take wickets upfront and the bowlers kept taking wickets. We've had some close games with India, delighted to get the win. It was just about juggling, Tim was struggling with illness as well. That epitomises the team. Kyle on debut was fantastic. Delighted for him. It'll be great to win 3-nil from here. Fingers crossed, and hopefully we keep learning.
(India Captain):Two good games, great for the fans. Impressed with how we finished. We let things slip away from 208-6 to 270+. We were in trouble wth the bat, but Saini and Jadeja and Shreyas played really well. ODIs aren't too relvant this yerar, but the people who can play that way under pressure is a big revelation for us. We could consider changes in the final game, since we have nothing to lose now. We'll play expressive ccreicket and not worry too much about the result. It's upto the individuals to fight. We didn't send them any messages, becasue those aren't what your instincts are telling you to do. We didn't know how Saini could be with the bat, so if the lwer order could be that good, then it inspires the middle order and the top order to step it up too.
: Bit of a high at the moment. Still kind of sinking it. The game kind of ebbed and flowed. It was pretty simple: we were just trying to get it through 50 overs. Just trying and stick with Ross. Relief was the feeling to get the first wicket out of the way and not give too many runs. International cricket is quite high intensity, but it was pretty cool.
Jadeja gets down on one knee and looks to loft the ball over long-off but doesn't get enough power on it as de Grandhomme takes an easy catch.
Bennett nails the Yorker on the 1st delivery as Chahal just about manages to get his bat down in time. Chahal swings at the 2nd delivery but misses completely. Jadeja has a word with Chahal after that delivery. Chahal gets a thick inside edge on the 3rd ball which rolls through square leg for a single. Jadeja reaches out but the next ball is outside off and Bennett has to bowl it again. Jadeja drills the 4th delivery straight down the ground for 2 runs. RUN OUT! Chahal was trying to pinch a second after that misfield from Neesham but pays the price. His handy cameo comes to an end as Jasprit Bumrah walks out to bat and blocks out the final delivery. 23 needed from 12 balls now. It’s all up to Jadeja who will be on strike.
India 251/9 after 48 overs.
Jadeja drives the ball to extra cover and they pick up a single. There's a misfield by Neesham and Chahal sets off for a second but he is rightly sent back by Jadeja and doesn't manage to get back in time.
Jadeja pulls the back of length delivery from Jamieson to deep square leg and runs hard for 2 runs. He then tucks the 2nd ball towards the vacant midwicket region with soft hands for 2 more. That brings up the FIFTY for Jadeja who brings out his trademark bat wielding celebration. He then flicks the 3rd ball towards mid-on for a single. Chahal swings at the 4th delivery sending it flying over midwicket and the fielder does well to keep then down to 2 runs. Chahal then slices at the short delivery getting an edge over the keeper for FOUR. He then tucks the last ball to midwicket for a single. 12 runs off the over. India now need 28 from 18 balls to win.
Brilliant from Chahal as he waits back and gets a thick outside edge on the short ball sending it over the keeper.
Hamish Bennett returns to the attack. Jadeja pulls the 1st delivery through midwicket for a single. Chahal gets beaten on the 2nd ball but manages to push the 3rd delivery to point and rotate strike. Taylor had a chance for a run out but sends down a poor throw. Jadeja works the 4th ball through backward point for a single. Chahal drives the 5th delivery to mid-off and sets off for a risky single. de Grandhomme is the fielder there and again misses with the throw. Jadeja squeezes out the last delivery to sweeper cover for a single. 5 runs off the over. India need 40 from 24 balls to win.
Kyle Jamieson returns to the attack for his 9th over. Jadeja works the 1st ball past point for a single. Saini throws his arms at the 2nd delivery and connects beautifully sending the ball flying over cover for SIX. BOWLED! Great composure from the debutant as he sticks to a tight line and hits the stumps as Saini misses with another swing. Finally the Kiwis manage to break the partnership. Yuzvendra Chahal walks out to bat and just blocks out the last 3 balls. 7 runs and a wicket come from the over.
Saini has a big swing looking to hit over midwicket but misses the back of length delivery which crashes into the stumps. Finally New Zealand get the breakthrough.
