NZ 275-3 (47 ovs) vs India 280-8 | Scorecard

Taylor uses the sweep again for a single to deep square leg and Latham reverses the next fine through the vacant thirdman region for a four and tries the shot again but misses.

He then plays the conventional sweep for a single followed by two more singles from the last two balls.

A bad outing with the ball for Kuldeep as he finishes with one for 64 in 10 overs as the equation reduces to 30 from as many deliveries.

The match slipping from India's grasp. Bumrah overpitches as Taylor flicks it through midwicket for a four to take his score into the 90s.

The next ball is short and Taylor pulls it square this time for another boundary to inch closer to his century.

He edges the next ball fine to thirdman for one before Latham carts the last ball over midwicket for a six to take his score to 99.

A decisive over in terms of the result as New Zealand get 17 from the over and inch closer with just 13 runs from four overs for victory.

Bhuvneshwar comes back as Taylor edges the first ball past a diving Dhoni for a four and then takes one to take his score to 94.

Meanwhile, Latham clips the fourth to deep square leg for a single to race to his century from 95 balls.

At the other end, Taylor in no hurry to get to his hundred as he picks another single to take his score to 95.

New Zealand reach 275 for three in 47 overs, needing another six runs from three overs for victory.
