Post-match: Virat Kohli says his knock was satisfying on a personal note and at the half way point he and his team thought they had enough. He’s all praise for the temperament shown by Latham and Taylor – not much he could have done the way they batted.

Williamson is, expectedly, gushing about the partnership. ‘One of the best chases I have seen as a Black Cap,’ he says.

And no surprises, Tom Latham is the man of the match for his fantastic innings. That’s it from us tonight. Stay tuned for all the post-match analysis, not just from the cricket.

Meanwhile, in Denmark, another famous win for Indian badminton

It’s all over: Ross Taylor gets out without reaching his century but his 95 and Latham’s brilliant century gives Black Caps a comfortable win at Wankhede. The reach the target with six wickets and six balls to spare. Nicholls hits his first ball for a four midwicket.

CENTURY FOR LATHAM! What a way to get there. Goes from 93 to 99 with a massive six over long on and then takes a single in the 46th overs and celebrates what has been a fine, fine innings. His 4th ODI century and arguably his best. The Wankhede crowd roards, Virat Kohli applauds. Well played, young man.

New Zealand need 30 runs from 30 balls: This is now the highest partnership for any wicket in ODIs at Wankhede! 170 and counting. Tom Latham once again sweeps brilliantly – first, the orthodox sweep over square leg for six against Chahal and then the reverse against Kuldeep. Lengthy breaks in between the overs

After 42 overs, New Zealand 224/3 – need 57 off 48 balls: Pandya finishes his 10 overs and from the other Chahal bowls his 9th and the Kiwis are getting the required runs with ease. No boundaries in the last two overs but still 12 runs taken.

10 overs to go and this stat is looking like it’ll change tonight.

After 40 overs, NZ 212/3, need 69 from 60 balls: Looks very much like the match is the bag for New Zealand. Bumrah and Bhuvi get an extended spell as Kohli’s desperate for a wicket and it’s not paying off. The Kiwi batsmen are playing it perfectly. The 40th over saw Taylor take on Bhuvi in style with a smashing straight drive. Kohli running out options and ideas. Taylor came close to getting run out a couple of times, struggling with cramp but India unable to get the direct hits going.

FIFTY FOR TOM LATHAM: The man who enjoyed a fine Test series last year has shown again that he loves batting in these conditions. A crucial 50 for Latham and he’s barely been troubled, truth be told. Solid knock – the shot to take him from 44-48 in the 34th over by whipping Pandya through mid-on for four was a delightful shot. And with his 50, NZ need less than 100. The partnership is over 100. Kohli desperate for wickets by going to Bumrah and Bhuvi. After 36 overs, NZ: 185/3 (96 runs required from 14 overs)

FIFTY FOR ROSS TAYLOR: A fine innings this by the most experienced Kiwi batsman. He has reigned himself in for the most part, surviving a testing spell by the spinners and is now looking well set for a big one. He gets to his 50 and has hit just four boundaries so far – not very Taylor-esque. Latham not far at the other end as well. After 34 overs, 171/3 (110 runs required from 16 overs)

After 32 overs, NZ: 160/3 (121 runs required from 18 overs): Good spell this for the Black Caps. The 150 comes up and signs of aggression from the batsmen as well. Kuldeep has been expensive today, going for 48 runs in 8 overs. Latham has swept him very well. Taylor takes on Pandya too, hitting him over mid-on. Chahal comes back in the 31st as Kohli searches for a wicket. Should have had one too, with Taylor going for a quick single, Dhoni gets a throw at the non-striker’s end but Chahal isn’t to gather and effect a runout. Kohli not happy. And 8 runs from Pandya in the 32nd – there has been a boundary in 3 of the last 4 overs as Kiwis stay on track for the chase. DRINKS.

50-run partnership: They have been beaten by the spinners, they have let a few balls go perilously close to the stumps but Taylor and Latham have built a solid stand, predominantly rotating strike sensibly. After 28 overs, NZ: 132/3 (149 runs required from 22 overs)

After 25 overs, NZ 117/3: Chahal and Kuldeep bowling in tandem and the Kiwis are finding runs hard to come by. Just 23 runs in that 5-over passage. Chahal has looked mighty impressive so far, getting the ball to turn and skid. Kohli on the attack as well, having a slip and a leg slip for Kuldeep when Taylor is on strike.

Meanwhile, a relaxed-looking Shastri gets a shoulder massage in the balcony.

After 20 overs, New Zealand 94/3 (187 runs required from 30 overs): Pandya and Chahal continue, 11 runs from the last two overs. Latham, a handy bat to have at this stage, cuts Pandya handsomely for a four. Crucial phase of the match this.

WICKET, PANDYA STRIKES: Like he does often, Pandya strikes with a short ball that skids and hurries the batsman. It’s the well-set Guptill this time who can only pull it high and not long. DK takes a smart running catch at deep square leg, diving forward at the end. Chahal is bowling from the other end and bowls a very good first over, almost castling Taylor with a quicker one. After 18 overs, NZ 83/3.

After 15 overs, New Zealand 76/2: Drinks at Wankhede. Ross Taylor has come out swinging, taking on Kuldeep in that last over for a powerful pull shot for four. 10 from that Kuldeep over. Pandya from the other end has been getting good pace and getting the ball to skid, hitting Guptill in the box.

Meanwhile in Bangladesh, a famous win for Indian hockey:

BIG WICKET: That’s the one India wanted early. Captain Kane Williamson is gone and Kuldeep Yadav is delighted. It was tossed up and wide, Williamson went chasing at it, the bat turns and he ends up finding Kedar Jadhav at extra cover. Kuldeep strikes in his second over, could have had another after an excellent LBW shot against Taylor, but it’s rightly turned down. After 13 overs, New Zealand 64/2.

WICKET FOR INDIA, BUMRAH STRIKES: Just as it looked like NZ will make this powerplay their own, Munro falls in the 10th over. Another excellent slower ball from Bumrah and this time he takes a leading edge – DK makes no mistake. Bumrah’s luck still hasn’t turned though – another edge flies between slip and keeper as Guptill survives. NZ will still be the happier side after the powerplay though. After 10 overs, NZ 52/1.

After 6 overs, NZ 38/0: More poor luck for Bumrah as Kedar Jadhav (who’s having a pretty bad day) puts down a sitter at deep square leg by misjudging an air ball, and the drop goes for a four. Munro adds insult to injury by powering one over midwicket for four. Previous over from Bhuvi saw a whole range of knuckle balls.

4th over, NZ 24/0: Bumrah continues to get good speed and movement. Very unlucky not to get a wicket in that over, as Guptill edges an outswinger and it goes wide of the wide first slip – two slips and the batsman was gone. Races to four towards third man. A lengthy break in play in that over, because one floodlight tower wasn’t working. They started walking out but soon the lights came back and play is underway.

3rd over, NZ 17/0: Munro starts the over in style with a nonchalant flick over square leg for a six. Bhuvi comes back brilliantly though, producing a peach of an inswinger that cuts Munro in half and flies inches above the bails. Dhoni dives and takes it one-handed. Brilliant cricket all around.

2nd over, NZ 9/0: Good start by Jasprit Bumrah, at his IPL home ground. Surprisingly, more swing for Bumrah than Bhuvi on the evidence of one over each. Munro almost edges one to the wide slip but it falls short of Dhawan.

New Zealand’s chase has begun, 8/0 after 1 over: Martin Guptill starts well with two straight boundaries in Bhuvi’s first over. The first, impeccably timed. The second, a lucky leading edge that flies past short mid-on. Kohli, meanwhile, has not come out to field. Rohit leading the side now.

End of the innings: Trent Boult was exceptional, New Zealand tried hard. But it’s been all about Virat Kohli in the first 50 overs though. Excellent innings under tough conditions – one that he’ll rate very highly in his repertoire of 100s. He has 31 now, only behind Sachin Tendulkar, as he moves past Ricky Ponting. 280 looks like a good score and what’s not a typical Wankhede pitch, with the ball stopping. Dew could make it skid though and NZ might have better conditions to bat on.

Some numbers and reaction from the first innings – join us in a bit for the second.

After 50 overs, India 280/8: A fine end to the innings for India. 25 runs from the last two overs. The 49th from Milne goes for 9 runs as Bhuvi finished it with a stunning tennis-shot over long on for a six. And if we thought that was stunning, Kohli smashes a straight drive for six off the first ball of the 50th – shot of the match so far. He then falls for 121, finding long on. Walks off to a standing ovation. Bhuvi finishes the innings in style with a four and six and then falls off the last ball. A brilliant 14-ball 26 from him, takes India to 280 – an above-par score, perhaps.

Shot of the match

After 48 overs, India 255/6: Kohli breaks free after his century. 11 runs from the 47th over, as Bhuvneshwar and the captain pick a boundary each. Kohli playing some incredible shots now – a flick over midwicket, a lofted inside out cover drive. All over the park.

WICKET, Pandya gone: A stunning high catch by captain Kane. Hardik goes big, trying to accelerate but cannot get underneath the ball enough, ends up hitting just high. Williamson runs back and takes a great catch. India 240/6 after 46 overs.

ODI CENTURY NO. 31: Take a bow, captain! What an innings this has been by Virat Kohli. He was dropped on 29 but he’s made the most of that chance and has played a fighting knock under very tough conditions. His sweaty shirt tells a story – soaked completely wet. And only Sachin Tendulkar ahead of him in the list of most ODI hundreds now. Staggering.

After 44 overs, India 224/5: Santner concedes 11 in his final over but the end of a magnificent spell – just 41 from his 10. Pandya, after playing 5 dot balls in the previous over, takes him on first ball – hitting a 86-meter six. Kohli gets to 96 from 88 with a couple of streaky boundaries to fine leg off Southee.

WICKET in the 41st over, Dhoni gone: No fireworks from the bat of MSD today, he falls for 25 for 42 balls and a rare show of disappointment by the former captain as he walks back. Boult strikes again, the ball climbs a tad bit from good length and Dhoni can only cut it to point where Guptill saw it late. Pandya walks in, as India are struggling to up the ante here. 200 comes up in the 42nd over, off which just 2 runs came. Good stuff by Santner. After 42 overs, India 203/5

After 40 overs, India 197/4: Alright then, maybe time for fireworks at Wankhede? 40 overs up, Kohli clearly tiring but soldiering on, batting on 84 off 100 balls. India need him though, to make a good score. 250 might be just about par but anything less than 275 from here would be a disappointment.

04:25 pm: The new ICC rules are in place for this series. And Dhoni is using a smaller bat now.

After 36 overs, India 178/4: Boult comes back for a couple of overs along with Santner. More rotation of strike from Dhoni and Kohli. Dhoni finally finds his first boundary off Boult, a lofted cut over point. Munro then comes back for his 6th over and that’s the fifth bowler quota taken care of, conceding 59 runs along with De Grandhomme. India may have missed a trick there, not going hard enough against the part-timers. Kohli batting on 74 now off 90 balls.

After 32 overs, India 157/4: More rebuilding for India as the two most experienced cricketers for the men in blue look to steady the ship and set up a final burst. Kohli (batting on 64 off 80 balls) and Dhoni just taking the ones and twos for now. No boundaries in the 3 overs since DK was dismissed. Drinks at Wankhede.

WICKET in the 29th over: Dinesh Karthik will be disappointed with that. He was looking well set for a 50-plus score on his comeback but gives in to the temptation of playing the pull shot, finds the fielder at fine leg. Southee gets NZ the breakthrough in the over he’s brought back in to the attack. 37 off 47 is a good effort by DK but a bigger score was there for the taking here. And out walks Dhoni to loud cheers. After 29 overs, India 145/4.

After 28 overs, India 143/3: A great phase of play for India this with Munro and Milne bowling in tandem. DK is cutting and pulling well and is inching towards a well-deserved fifty in his comeback innings. Partnership up to 70 now.

Moment of the day: When Kohli hit that pull shot for six over fine leg, this youngster pulled off a stunning one-handed catch. Got the loudest cheers of the day after Kohli when he was showed on the big screen. A moment to remember for this young cricketer.

50 for Virat Kohli: His 200th ODI is shaping up into a memorable one. Not the highest quality innings he’s played but a lot of fight, determination and resolve in tough conditions, taking India out of a spot of bother. Gets to his milestone with a six and a four off Adam Milne. First a last-minute decision to pull a short ball and like Rohit, manages to clear fine leg. Then a ball later, an elegant straight drive past the bowler that takes him to his 46th ODI fifty. Class act. The crowd roars for their captain. After 25 overs India 127/3.

100 up for India in the 22nd over: DK is looking good at the Wankhede, brings up India’s 100 with a cut past point off part-timer Munro. The run-rate is inching close to 5.00. And more problems for New Zealand as de Grandhomme walks back into the dressing room, seemingly struggling with the heat. The fifth bowler slot was already a weakness for the Kiwis.

After 20 overs, India 93/3: Another period of rebuilding for India. de Grandhomme and Santner bowling in tandem and Karthik gets going with a couple of boundaries. The big moment in that period of play was Santner dropping Kohli at cover. Uppish drive, hit hard but Santner should have gone for the reverse-cup. A big, big chance and it’s going to hurt New Zealand. He was on 29, so count the damage from there.

How costly is this going to be?

16th over, Kedar Jadhav gone: Oh dear, that’s a dismissal that could haunt Kedar Jadhav for a while. A big chance for him at No. 4 and he throws it away cheaply. It’s tossed up by Santner, a completely harmless delivery and all Kedar does is chip it back to the bowler. 12 off 25 is not how he was going to make that No, 4 spot his own. Poor batting. After 16 overs, India 71/3.

Lazy Kedar

After 15 overs, India 67/2: Two quite overs followed by a big one for India. Milne and Santner go for 3 and 1 respectively and then de Grandhomme comes on and concedes 12. Bit lucky for Kohli though, he went searching for a full, wide ball and hit in the air and past point –- wasn’t in control. Followed by an edge to third man. But Kohli’s gettiung a move on.

After 12 overs, India 51/2: Ironically, the gears have shifted *after* the powerplay. 11 runs from Milne’s over, starting with a wonderful cover drive from Kohli and ending with a stomach-shot from Kedar towards third man. Santner from the other end for the first taste of spin today and he concedes just 3. No real hint of turn and bounce yet.

After 10 overs, India 37/2: What a start by New Zealand and what an opening spell by Boult. 5 overs, 1 maiden, 2 wickets and just 7 runs conceded. Incredible stuff in this Mumbai heat. Another fine over, just one run off it. The powerplay has been all New Zealand’s.

Over 9: India 36/2

Adam Milne into the attack for the first time and it’s a solid if not spectacular first over. Kedar Jadhav continues to take it slow, moving to 3 off 12 balls.

Over 8: India 35/2

This is brilliant stuff from Trent Boult. Just one run from his 4th over (And perhaps the last in this spell.) Tests Jadhav with a range of deliveries – a bouncer targeting his shoulder, a fast yorker and a couple of good length balls – and the Indian batsman just about manages to keep it all out.

Over 7: India 34-2 (Kohli 2, Jadhav 3)

A very crucial phase of the match, India will want Kohli to see out this opening spell by Boult before he starts playing his shots. If the hosts lose their skipper early, it will make for a very interesting game – interest that the home side would like to dearly avoid.

Over 6: India 30-2 (Kohli 0, Jadhav 1)

Strange start to the innings but a great opportunity for Jadhav to make the No 4 slot his own. He can build his innings and show that he has the talent to play not just the big shots but all guide India to safety when the need arises.

Over 5.4: India 29-2 (Kohli 0*)

WICKET! Boult strikes again. But perhaps Rohit just gave him this wicket. Three dot balls and Rohit let them get him. End of the day, it was rather senseless cricket and not the kind you expect from an experienced cricketer.

RG Sharma b Boult 20 (18b 0x4 2x6)

Over 5: India 29-1 (Kohli 0, Rohit 20)

Three dot balls and just as thoughts started wandering towards another maiden, Rohit hooked one for six. It just cleared the fielder at fine leg. The next ball was another bouncer and once again, it just cleared the fielder at fine leg. Playing with fire? Well, it got Rohit and India 12 runs in 2 balls and that is perhaps all that matters.

Over 4: India 16-1 (Kohli 0, Rohit 7)

Wicket and a maiden. Wonderful over by Boult – showing all the qualities that makes him one of the best bowlers going around. Kohl walked in at the fall of Dhawan’s wicket and played out four deliveries.

Over 3.2: India 16-1 (Rohit 7)

WICKET! And that is the breakthrough the Kiwis so desperately wanted. Boult took the ball away from the left-handed Dhawan who edged it to the keeper. It was just back of a length and climbing too. Lovely delivery.

S Dhawan c Latham b Boult 9 (12b 1x4 0x6)

Over 3: India 16-0 (Dhawan 9, Rohit 7)

The ball is not quite coming on and Rohit has got his timing messed up a little. Still the runs keep coming and New Zealand haven’t had any clear chances either.

Over 2: India 12-0 (Dhawan 8, Rohit 4)

Boult into the attack and this will be interesting. There is some movement and it will only last a few overs. Can the left-armer do any damage before that? India get through the over without any alarms.

Over 1: India 8-0 (Dhawan 7, Rohit 1)

No secrets between the two sides – both sets of players know each other well. This, though, is the first time India and New Zealand are playing against each other at the Wankhede. Dhawan is also back and if given the opportunity, he will attack early. In the previous series, Ajinkya Rahane and Rohit Sharma would take their time starting up but with Dhawan, India won’t have to worry about that.

India win the toss, elect to bat first

Virat Kohli, playing in his 200th ODI, won the toss and elected to bat first. Dinesh Karthik gets into the squad... will he be able to solve India’s middle-order problem?

IND XI: S Dhawan, RG Sharma, V Kohli, D Karthik, K Jadhav, MS Dhoni, H Pandya, B Kumar, K Yadav, J Bumrah, Y Chahal

NZ XI: Guptill, Munro, Williamson (c), Taylor, Latham(wk), Nicholls, de Grandhomme, Santner, Milne, Southee, Boult.

Kohli’s 200

The Indian skipper, who made his debut as a 19-year-old in 2008, will become the 17th Indian to play his 200th ODI. After 199 ODIs, he has 8767 runs at an average of 55.14.

At the same stage of his career (200 ODIs), Sachin Tendulkar had scored 7305 runs at 41.74. But Tendulkar upped the game in the second part of his career, scoring 11121 runs at 47.12 and it will be interesting to see whether the 28-year-old Kohli will manage to do the same.

Non-stop cricket

After playing against New Zealand and Sri Lanka at home, India will embark on a tour of South Africa, involving three Tests, six ODIs and three T20 Internationals in January next year.

The South Africa series will be followed by a grueling and lengthy tour of England where India will play three T20s, three ODIs and five Tests starting July, 2018.

Between the international matches, there will be the hectic IPL season.

New Rules

India will its maiden series under the new ICC ODI regulations when it takes on New Zealand in the first ODI of the three-match series.

“There are few rules which are very different. The batsman reaching the crease and after that the bat bouncing off being not out. The rule of umpires’ call in DRS (Decision Review System). So there are few rule changes which are quite interesting. There is one about catching as well,” Virat Kohli said at the pre-match media conference on Saturday.

“So I think guys will need awareness about the new rules. They are always difficult to keep a check on initially, but I think we all will get used to it.

“But it’s a good thing, new regulations will makes things much more exciting and bit more professional I guess. You have to keep in mind a lot of things while you are on the field and this just adds to that and helps you focus more on what needs to be done during the course of a game,” Kohli added.
