India 178-6 (40 ovs) vs NZ 242-9 | Scorecard

Southee sends the Kotla crowd into total silence with the wicket of Dhoni, courtesy of a brilliant reflex catch on his follow through.

India 141-5 (32 ovs) vs NZ 242-9 | Scorecard

New Zealand strike just at the right time as Henry claims the key wicket of Jadhav. The right-hander, who played a good innings of 41 from 37 balls, tried to run Henry to thirdman but ended up getting an edge and was caught by wicketkeeper Ronchi.

That was a nothing shot and would have at the most fetched him just a single but ends up costing him his wicket. He was looking very good playing in front of the wicket and missed a chance to make a sizeable contribution and stake his claim for a permanent berth in the ODI team.

A superb over from Henry conceding just two runs while making the crucial breakthrough as India are reduced to 141 for five in 32 overs.

India 134-4 (30 ovs) vs NZ 242-9 | Scorecard

Jadhav turning it on for the Indians. He comes down the track, makes room before lofting Santner over the off-side for a wonderful six.

India lose another wicket in the next over as Pandey is run out for 19 attempting a second run to deep square leg. A quick flat throw from Santner in the deep caught Pandey inches short of his crease as Ronchi does well to come in front of the stumps and whips off the bails in a flash.

Two wickets in the space of deliveries leave India tottering on 73 for four, in the 20th over.

Henry tries a short ball at Dhoni who has enough time on hand to pull it on the leg side for a four. In the next over, Jadhan sweeps Devcich for a four through square leg as India look to bounce back after the flurry of wickets.

Santner comes back to replace Devcich and he bowls a half-tracker which Jadhav deposits over midwicket for a six.

A few deliveries later, he again drops short while giving some width as Dhoni cuts it past point for a four as India reach 108 for four in 26 overs.

India 72-3 (19 ovs) vs NZ 242-9 | Scorecard

Just like the Indian bowlers, the Kiwi spinners would be looking to stifle the Indian batsmen in the middle overs.

The wicket of Kohli would be a big boost for the visitors as they made a good comeback with the ball after a lacklustre performance with the bat.

Devcich drops one short as Manish Pandey pulls it over midwicket to help himself to an easy six as nine runs come from the over to take India to 57 for two in 15 overs.

Devcich, who has gone for 17 runs in three overs, makes way for pacer Southee. Rahane smashes the second ball back over the bowler's head for a boundary.

Santner is not giving away anything to the Indian batsmen, he has conceded just 10 runs in four overs while picking up the wicket of Kohli.

Rahane pulls a short ball from Southee as Anderson at the deep square leg fence rushes in and takes a low catch. The decision is referred to the third umpire with the on-field giving a soft signal that it is out.

However, the replays clearly indicated that the ball bounced before it was taken by Anderson.

Umpire Shamshuddin needs enough evidence to overturn the soft signal by the on-field umpire which was OUT. However, there is no clear replay to suggest that the ball bounced before it was taken and he sticks to the on-field umpire's decision and rules it out.

So, Rahane has to walk back after a controversial decision after scoring 28 from 49 balls to leave India in further strife at 72 for three in the 19th over.

India 41-2 (12 ovs) vs NZ 242-9 | Scorecard

At the end of the first 10 overs with the field spread around, New Zealand immediately introduce spin in the form of left-armer Anton Devcich.

Meanwhile, Mitchell Santner strikes in his very first over with the big wicket of Kohli, who is caught down the leg side by wicketkeeper Ronchi for nine.

Kohli looked to nudge it fine but got a thin edge which was neatly taken by the wicketkeeper to leave India in trouble at 41 for two in 12 overs.

India 35-1 (10 ovs) vs NZ 242-9 | Scorecard

In the next over, Rahane has a close shave as he is sent back halfway down the pitch but luckily he got back on time and the fielder also could not get the direct hit.

Some amount of width and Kohli needs no second invitation as he punches it through the covers for his first four to take India to 35 for one in 10 overs, needing another 208 runs from 40 overs for victory.

India 22-1 (8 ovs) vs NZ 242-9 | Scorecard

Rohit turns the second ball on the leg side for a single before he keeps strike with one from the last ball.

Boult is finally rewarded for his superb bowling as he gets Rohit caught behind the wicket for 15. Bowling from round the wicket, Boult got the right-hander to come forward and poke at a wide outswinger which took the edge through to the wicketkeeper.

Rohit looked in a lot of pain immediately after the catch was taken as the physio came out to attend him. It seems he suffered some pain in his left arm and the journey back to the dressing was a painful one for the Mumbai batsman.

Out walked Virat Kohli to a huge cheer from his home crowd and he gets off the mark with a single on the leg side.

Meanwhile, Rahane continues to defend solidly, blocking out the remaining five deliveries of the over.

NZ 242-9 (50 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Despite captain Kane Williamson's 118, New Zealand managed only a modest 242 for nine in their 50 overs on a flat wicket at the Feroz Shah Kotla in New Delhi.

At one stage, the Kiwis were looking well placed on 115 for one after 20 overs but lost their way courtesy of regular wickets in the middle overs.

Jasprit Bumrah chipped away at the wickets in the final overs to finish with wonderful figures of three for 35, while Amit Mishra claimed three for 60.

It was another poor batting performance from New Zealand especially towards the end as they lost six wickets for 40 runs in the last 10 overs.

NZ 242-9 (50 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

New Zealand would do well to get even to 250 from this stage. Yadav is called back from the other end and he also look to keep it full and keep the NZ lower order batsmen quiet.

Despite their best efforts, Santner and Taylor pick up only four singles from the 47th over.

Clever change of tactics from Bumrah as he starts the 48th over with a slower ball which beats Henry all ends up.

The next ball is again slower as Henry cuts it square but Manish Pandey comes up with a full length dive to save a boundary and continue India's smashing performance on the field.

Henry plays all over another good yorker from Bumrah and is lucky that the ball just missed the stumps to end another superb over from the young pacer.

Henry throwing his bat at everything as he top edges the pull but it falls safely on the leg side as just four runs come from the penultimate over.

Bumrah is having a ball out in the middle. He follows up a quick yorker with a slower ball which foxes Henry all ends up as he is bowled for six.

Trent Boult edges the last ball but it falls well short of wicketkeeper Dhoni. Two balls later, he gets another edge, this time it is a thick outside edge which goes fine for a four through thirdman for the first boundary for New Zealand after a long wait of 12 overs.

NZ 225-8 (46 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Left-hander Anton Devcich playing his first game of the tour reverse sweeps Mishra for a single to sweeper cover.

A few deliveries later, he takes a risky second run to deep midwicket and has to dive to make his crease.

He powerfully sweeps the fifth ball and is very casual in taking the second run to deep square leg.

Dhoni whips off the bails and Devcich, who is struggling with some hamstring issue, makes his crease just in time. He makes room and lofts the last ball of the over to long-off for another run.

A good spell from Mishra as the veteran leg-spinner finishes with creditable figures of three for 59 in nine overs.

Devcich finally perishes in the next over as he looks as Axar produces a stunning catch at short fine leg off to send back the left-hander for seven.

The left-hander looked to paddle Bumrah over the the fielder but failed to get enough elevation and Axar took a few steps back and came up with a superb catch over his head to pluck it out of mid air, while diving to his right.

New Zealand's batsmen have once again let their team down and except for Williamson, no one else has taken the responsibility to stay out in the middle today.

Bumrah bowls an excellent yorker, which nearly goes through Tim Southee as it passes the leg stump.

But the next is right on the mark, outside the off-stump and reversing in sharply to crashing into the off-stump to bowl out Southee for a duck.

The last ball is again a yorker as new batsman Matt Henry manages to keep it out.

A top over from Bumrah, conceding just a single while picking up two wickets as NZ are reduced to 225 for eight in 46 overs.

NZ 217-6 (44 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

The wickets continue to tumble for the Kiwis and this time it is Luke Ronchi, who is caught behind for six.

Ronchi looks to cut Axar but gets a thick outside edge and this time Dhoni does well to pouch it, have dropped one earlier in the innings off the same bowler.

New Zealand have lost three wickets for 12 runs in 22 balls to be reduced to 216 for six in the 44th over.

NZ 214-5 (43 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

New Zealand lose another wicket, and this time it is the key scalp of captain Williamson. The Kiwi captain looks to loft Mishra down the ground but is caught at long-off after a superb innings of 118.

He look visibly tired and the forearm injury was also hampering him quite a bit.

New Zealand need a strong finish to reach a target of around the 275-run mark, which should be competitive on this flat batting track.

NZ 205-4 (41 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Mishra, who has three overs left, comes back. Anderson goes across and looks to sweep it across the line but misses and is struck right in front of the stumps but umpire Anil Chaudhary turns down the appeal. That was as plumb as anything but the umpire surprisingly turns it down and Anderson, on 20, gets a lifeline.

But Mishra finally gets his man a few deliveries later. Once again, Anderson looks to swipe it across on the leg side but is again struck on the pads and this time the umpire upholds the appeal. The left-hander again went across to hit it on the leg side but missed and the umpire had no choice but to rule it out.

NZ 202-3 (40 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Anderson takes the risk as he walks across the stumps and lofts Mishra in the big gap over midwicket for a four.

New Zealand collect another four singles in the over to get eight from the 37th over.

This will be the time New Zealand will look to push the accelerator and increasing the scoring rate. They will obviously be targetting a score of around the 275-run mark.

Williamson, who is struggling with pain in his arm, also decides to go on the attack as he lofts Pandya down the ground over mid-on for a four.

But Pandya manages to come back well after that boundary, giving away just a single in the rest of the over.

Bumrah also sends down a tidy over, giving away just five runs with New Zealand still content to bat steadily. Perhaps they are waiting for the last 10 overs to go on an all out attack.

Fast bowlers from both ends as Yadav comes back into the attack with Dhoni not wanting his spinners to bowl in the Powerplay overs.

India have done well to keep New Zealand with just 26 runs coming in the five overs of Powerplay between the 35th and 40th over.

NZ 180-3 (36 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Following the drinks break, Yadav bowls five dot balls in succession to Anderson, who is also taking his time to get his eye in.

Anderson finally releases the pressure as he uppishly drives Yadav through the covers for a four. In this era of fielders diving around, it was surprising to see Kohli at mid-off not attempting the catch, maybe he just misjudged it.

Mishra comes back as he starts with one on the leg stump which Williamson sweeps behind square for a four to take his score to 96.

He repeats the shot but this time gets just a single to deep square leg followed by two more singles.

Another change as Bumrah comes into the attack, to replace Yadav.

Williamson close in on his century as he calls out the physio to attend him with some discomfort in his left forearm.

He drives Bumrah through the covers for two runs to bring up his first ODI century against India, from 109 balls.

NZ 165-3 (33 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Dhoni continues to shuffle his bowlers around and even Kohli has been quite active in helping out his captain, by setting fields at times and speaking to the bowlers in between.

Yadav comes back as Williamson takes a single before new batsman James Anderson plays out the remaining five deliveries.

And again a bowler is taken off after taking a wicket in his previous over. This time it is justified as off-spinner Jadhav is called back with left-hander Anderson out in the middle.

New Zealand's batsmen do well to milk six singles from the over to take the score to 165 for three in 33 overs, with Williamson unbeaten on 92 from 100 balls.

NZ 158-3 (31 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Mishra went for runs in his first spell and Williamson is again keen to go after the veteran spinner as he is called back into the attack.

He looks to slog sweep the second ball but gets an inside edge for a single on the leg side. Again no boundaries as Mishra gives away just four singles in the over.

The struggling Taylor looks to heave Pandya over midwicket but again the timing is not perfect for two runs.

However, he gets some relief as Rahane's misfield at point gifts the right-hander a free boundary through the point region.

But despite the four, Taylor's struggles continue. He looks to break free as he swings Mishra over the leg side but is caught at deep midwicket after a painful knock of 21 from 42 balls.

NZ 143-2 (28 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Just singles at the moment for New Zealand, who must be desperate to break the shackles with a few fours.

Dhoni doing well to rotate his bowlers as Pandya is called back into the attack.

Taylor comes down the track and swings the second ball across the line and even though he doesn't time it well he gets it through midwicket for his first boundary.

Taylor has got stuck, scoring just 10 runs from 26 balls faced with New Zealand's scoring rate taking a sharp dip in the last few overs.

Taylor looks to flick Pandya's full delivery on the leg side but misses as he shuffles across and the LBW is turned down.

The pressure continues to build on Taylor as the veteran batsman plays another four dot balls in a row.

Just 23 runs have been scored in the last 45 balls since the arrival of Taylor with NZ reaching 143 for two in 28 overs.

NZ 127-2 (24 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Double change for the Indians as Bumrah comes on from the other end. Taylor gets off the mark with two runs on the leg side before he bottom edges the next ball and then defends the last two deliveries.

Axar Patel has shuffled around as he replaces Jadhav, who is taken off despite taking a wicket in his first over.

This time Axar sends down a tidy over, giving away only two runs with Taylor taking his time to get his eye in.

Bumrah bowls a terrific yorker as Williamson falls over trying to block it. The umpire turns down the LBW appeal with the ball clearly sliding down the leg side.

Brilliant over from Bumrah, giving away just a single with Taylor again struggling to get going.

New Zealand have scored just seven runs from the last 22 deliveries since the dismissal of Latham to reach 127 for two in 24 overs.

A lot will rest on captain Williamson, who is batting well on 75 from 83 balls but Taylor's slow start (3 from 13 balls) might affect his batting too.

NZ 120-2 (21 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Part-time Kedar Jadhav comes into the attack. He starts with a short ball which Williamson pulls for a four followed by a single.

Jadhav strikes in his very first over with the wicket of Latham, who is trapped leg before wicket for a good innings of 46 from as many balls.

Latham, who put on 120 runs for the second with Williamson, went right back to a full delivery from the off-spinner and was beaten to be struck right in front of the stumps.

A nervous poke from new batsman Ross Taylor first up as he defends the last three balls of the over.

NZ 115-1 (20 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Change of ends for Axar. He has a big appeal for LBW turned down, maybe it looked heading down the leg side or maybe a bit of an inside edge.

Latham sweeps the fifth ball behind square for two runs. He tries the same shot but this time it goes uppishly, just short of Rahane, who comes charging in for just a single.

New Zealand are looking to be positive against the spinners. Latham sweeps Mishra square on the leg side and it carries all the way over the fence for a six.

In the next over, NZ bring up their 100, in the 18th over with a single to Latham off Axar.

Latham sweeps one from well outside the off-stump to square leg for a single to break a sequence of three dot balls.

A few deliveries he comes down the track and finds the gap through the covers for another four.

Williamson (59) gets a lifeline as Dhoni puts down a straightforward chance with the Kiwi captain looking to cut but gets the edge.

Axar doesn't react much seeing that the captain himself has dropped it. He suffers more pain as Williamson makes room and lofts the next ball over the covers for a four.

Two balls later he sweeps it behind square where Pandya makes a good diving stop at square leg to keep it down to three when a boundary looked certain.

Williamson (66) and Latham (46) have laid a solid foundation as NZ reach 115 for one in 20 overs.

NZ 85-1 (15 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Bumrah has a huge appeal for LBW turned down against Williamson, who had shuffled across, but the ball was clearly slipping down the leg side.

Williamson has hogged majority of the strike since his arrival at the crease and he has done well to rally his team after the early wicket.

Four dot balls in a row before Williamson looks to loft it over mid-off but fails to get enough elevation. Pandya at mid-off dives forward to his left but fails to get his hands under a low catch.

Latham drills the last ball of the over through the covers for a four to continue New Zealand's good scoring rate in the last few overs.

Change in bowling for India as leg-spinner Amit Mishra replaces Axar, who went for 16 runs his previous over.

He starts with a full delivery on the leg stump which Williamson sweeps behind square for a four to bring up his fifty in style, from 56 balls.

Two balls later, Williamson comes down the track and takes the ball on the full, lofting it over mid-on for another four.

New Zealand have lifted the tempo, scoring 30 runs from the last three overs to reach 85 for one in 15 overs.

NZ 71-1 (13 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

With the Batting Powerplay out of the way, India introduce spin in the form of left-arm spinner Axar Patel, who comes in for Bumrah, who bowled just one over in his first spell and looks likely to replace Pandya from the other end.

A tidy start for Axar as he bowls four straight dot balls to Williamson before he chips down the track and hits it to deep midwicket for two runs.

As expected Bumrah replaces Pandya, who bowled five overs in his first spell, giving away 21 runs.

India looking to keep it tight as Bumrah concedes just two singles in his next over as he mixes his pace quite well.

In the next over, Williamson releases some pressure as he pulls a short ball from Axar over midwicket for a four.

India have brilliant on the field. This time Axar Patel stops a certain boundary as he makes another good diving save in the covers, keeping it down to just one.

Two balls later, Williamson throws his bat at a wide delivery from Pandya, getting a thick outside edge which goes past wicketkeeper Dhoni for a four, who could have gone for it but it went very quickly.

New Zealand have recovered to 50 for one in 10 overs with Williamson on 28 from 38 balls and Latham on 19 from 20 balls.

NZ 34-1 (7 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Following the early wicket, India looking to consolidate by bowling tight and building up the pressure.

Latham breaks the shackles as he pulls a short ball through midwicket to spoil what was turning out to be a good over from Yadav.

Pandya errs for once as he bowls a big wide outside the off-stump which Williamson can't reach despite making an effort.

Two balls later he bowls it full and offers some width and Williamson drives it nicely through the covers for a four. Williamson won't let any opportunities go pass and India must be careful not to let him get off to a start with easy boundaries.

Latham (10) gets a lifeline as he hits one straight back but Yadav drops a tough chance on his follow through.

A couple of deliveries later, he plays another cracking drive through the off-side for a four, getting it in the gap perfectly.

A poor over from Yadav as he slips the last ball down the leg side which Latham flicks fine for another four as NZ recover to 34 for one in seven overs.

NZ 15-1 (4 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Hardik Pandya to bowl the second over. Williamson turns the first ball through square for a couple of runs before he is beaten by another good outswinger from Pandya as he looks to drive it through the off-side.

A good first over from Pandya, who is again bowling with good pace and in the right channel.

Poor line from Yadav, who bowls a full delivery on the pads as Williamson flicks it through midwicket for a four.

Pandya bowls another good over, keeping a tight line and length to concede just two singles as NZ reach 15 for one in four overs.

NZ 5-1 (1 ov) vs India | Scorecard

Umesh Yadav strikes in his very first over with the wicket of Martin Guptill, who is bowled for a duck.

Yadav got the ball, which pitched on middle and off-stump, to move away enough to beat the right-hander, who played down the wrong line, trying to defend it from inside the line without moving his feet. That was a beautiful delivery!

He produces another special delivery to go past the edge of the bat of Kane Williamson, who then steers it to thirdman to get NZ off the mark with a single.

The in-form Tom Latham gets off the mark in style, driving an overpitched delivery nicely through the covers for a four, which also brings up his 1000 runs in ODIs from his 40th match.

Check out the playing XIs:

India: MS Dhoni (captain, w/k), Rohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane, Virat Kohli, Manish Pandey, Kedar Jadhav, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Amit Mishra, Umesh Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah.

India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni has won the toss and elected to bowl against New Zealand in the second ODI at the Feroz Shah Kotla in New Delhi.

India have retained the same team which won the first ODI in Dharamsala by six wickets.

A desperate New Zealand have made three changes to their team with Trent Boult, Matt Henry and Anton Devcich coming in for Doug Bracewell, Jimmy Neesham and Ish Sodhi.

Welcome to the coverage of the second One-Day International between India and New Zealand at the Feroz Shah Kotla in New Delhi, on Thursday.

An in-form India would be looking to continue their good run against the Kiwis, having won the first ODI in Dharamsala by six wickets following their 3-0 whitewash in the Test matches.

Meanwhile, New Zealand would be desperate to end their losing run in India, but they would need to come up with a good batting performance.

Even against a second-string Indian bowling attack missing the likes of Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammed Shami, New Zealand put a lowly 190 in the first ODI. They would be hoping to come good with the bat and also hope the toss goes their way, having lost four straight tosses.

India would be happy to continue their good showing from the first match and look to take a commanding 2-0 lead in the five-match series.
