FOUR! Solid punch through point a couple of deliveries after the hook over backward square leg for a six, this one fetching him four runs. Confident start so far for the Mumbaikar. IND 45/2
08:08 (IST)
SIX! Short from Bennett, Shaw rocks back and hooks this behind square to collect his first six of the innings. IND 41/2
08:07 (IST)
After 8 overs,India 35/2 ( Prithvi Shaw 22 , Shreyas Iyer 1)
Shaw goes for a cracking cover drive off a length delivery from Jamieson off the penultimate delivery of Jamieson's fourth over, but is blocked off inside the circle. He then works the ball towards third man off the last delivery to keep the strike. Three runs from the over, including a wide.

After 7 overs,India 32/2 ( Prithvi Shaw 21 , Shreyas Iyer 0)
First bowling change of the innings, with Bennett replacing Southee in the seventh over, conceding a single to Kohli off the first delivery. Bennett concedes a wide off the third, and brings Kohli back on strike with a single off the following delivery. Another blow to the Indians inside the powerplay, Kohli getting caught by Jamieson at third man off a back-of-length delivery from Bennett as India lose their second wicket inside the powerplay. Three runs and a wicket from this over.
08:00 (IST)
OUT! Kohli's gone, and India lose two wickets inside the first powerplay! Kohli slashes hard at a back-of-length delivery outside off, and ends up getting caught at third man. IND 32/2
Kohli c Jamieson b Bennett 9(12)
07:56 (IST)
After 6 overs,India 29/1 ( Prithvi Shaw 20 , Virat Kohli (C) 8)
Four off the over, with Shaw collecting another boundary for himself, this time cutting a short delivery outside off over point. Barring that, it's a tidy over for Jamieson as he collects five dots.
07:55 (IST)
FOUR! Another commanding shot from Shaw, crouching low before unleashing a high cut over point. IND 29/1
07:51 (IST)
Did you know: Tim Southee has dismissed Virat Kohli six times in ODIs — the joint most times for bowler alongside Ravi Rampaul.
07:51 (IST)
After 5 overs,India 25/1 ( Prithvi Shaw 16 , Virat Kohli (C) 8)
After the boundary off the last ball of the previous over, Kohli collects the first six of the innings with a dismissive slap over wide long on off the first delivery of Southee's third over. Collects a single two balls later to keep the scoreboard ticking. Shaw has to work hard for a third run after working the ball through midwicket, reaching the non-striker's end in the nick of time. Dot off the final delivery, with 10 coming from the over.
07:48 (IST)
SIX! Now Kohli's starting to express himself at the wicket, taking a couple of steps forward and lofting the ball over wide long on for the first maximum of the innings. IND 21/1
07:47 (IST)
After 4 overs,India 15/1 ( Prithvi Shaw 13 , Virat Kohli (C) 1)
Shaw pulls towards deep square leg, where the ball lands just in front of the fielder manning the boundary, allowing the batsman only a single. Kohli gets off the mark off the sixth delivery that he faces, guiding the ball towards third man. Shaw ends the over with a well-timed cut through cover point to collect the first boundary of the innings. Six from the over.
07:47 (IST)
New Zealand took a gamble by giving the new ball to Jamieson and it has paid off. Wonderful out-swinger to get rid off Mayank Agarwal. The Auckland pacer is known for his ability to swing the ball and perhaps that's why Kane has straightway started with him. Also, a few people in the New Zealand camp believe these ODIs can be an audition for the youngster to stake his claim in the red-ball squad.
07:47 (IST)
FOUR! First boundary of the Indian innings, coming off a delicious cut through cover point off Jamieson, beating the diving fielder inside the circle. IND 15/1
07:44 (IST)
After 3 overs,India 9/1 ( Prithvi Shaw 8 , Virat Kohli (C) 0)
Virat Kohli walks out to the centre in just the third over of the innings after India lose an early wicket, and he is due for a big score today. He's on strike for the first time after Shaw plays a rising delivery aimed at his hip towards deep square leg for a single. Kohli's yet to get off the mark after facing three deliveries, driving the last delivery through cover, only to get intercepted inside the circle. Good over for Southee.
07:43 (IST)
Virat Kohli has been bowled out five times in his last eight ODI innings.
07:40 (IST)
After 2 overs,India 8/1 ( Prithvi Shaw 7 , )
Kyle Jamieson, Man of the Match on his international debut on Sunday, bowls with the other new ball from the other end. Shapes one away beautifully from the batsman, narrowly beating Shaw's outside edge off the second delivery. Shaw punches a back-of-length delivery through point off the third delivery, Nicholls cutting the ball off just before the boundary to save a run for the Black Caps. Jamieson bowls another jaffa at the end of the over, this time hitting the top of off to send Agarwal back for 1. An excellent opening over from the tall pacer.
07:39 (IST)
BOWLED! Another disappointment for Mayank Agarwal, as Kyle Jamieson draws first blood with a beauty of a delivery that moves away from the batsman after pitching along middle and hits the top of off. IND 8/1
Agarwal b Jamieson 1(3)
07:34 (IST)
After 1 over,India 5/0 ( Prithvi Shaw 4 , Mayank Agarwal 1)
Shaw gets off the mark off the very first delivery, clipping the ball through the leg side for a brace, and gets Mayank on strike with a single three balls later. Mayank slashes a wide, length delivery towards third man for a single to open his account. Prithvi targets the same region off the last delivery, collecting a single to keep the strike.
07:31 (IST)
Prithvi Shaw and Mayank Agarwal have been entrusted with opening the innings once again, and they'll hope to get India off to a better start today after opening stands of 50 and 21 so far in the series. Tim Southee has the new ball in hand at the start of the innings.
07:22 (IST)
Good to see someone like Manish getting a break in this game. During the T20I series he looked good in patches. Some of his knocks were quite crucial in the context of the match situation.
07:18 (IST)
Pitch report: "Not a single cloud in the sky. It's rock-solid under the wicket and there will be some lateral movement for the pacers as it has got a good grass cover. There will be a little bit of spongy bounce too and as the innings progresses, it will flatten out" say Laxman and Styris in their report.
07:15 (IST)
A hot and humid day at Mount Maunganui, perfect for going to the beach and taking a dip in the Pacific water. However, we have a match to cover.
This is the last game of the white-ball leg of the tour and India would like to finish on a positive note. Especially, someone like Virat Kohli, who has only one half-century on this tour so far, will be eager to get some runs under his belt.
For New Zealand, Kane Williamson is back the XI at his home town and he too would like to spend some time in the middle before the Test series.
07:13 (IST)
New Zealand have won each of their last three ODIs against India.
Record at Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui in ODIs:
New Zealand: 3 won, 5 lost
India: 2 won, 0 lost
If India lose today then it will be the first time that they will be clean swept in a 3-match ODI series.
07:07 (IST)
New Zealand XI: Martin Guptill, Henry Nicholls, Kane Williamson (c), Ross Taylor, Tom Latham (wk), James Neesham, Colin de Grandhomme, Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee, Kyle Jamieson, Hamish Bennett
07:06 (IST)
India XI: Prithvi Shaw, Mayank Agarwal, Virat Kohli (c), Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Manish Pandey, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Navdeep Saini, Yuzvendra Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah
07:05 (IST)
Virat Kohli: We wanted to bat first anyway, looks pretty nice from the outside. We wanted to put up a total on the board. We don't have anything to lose, so we can just go out there and play positive cricket. ODI cricket has been a good learning for us. First game I thought was a good case of two guys stepping up. Cricket has been good in the first two games. Just one change: Jadhav sits out, Pandey gets a game.
07:05 (IST)
Kane Williamson: Guess it's a new surface. Maybe a little bit of dew later on. Hopefully we can continue the good things. One other change: Mitch Santner comes in for Chapman. It was a balance thing, one of those last-minute things, and nice to have the balance back in the side.
07:02 (IST)
TOSS: Indian captain Virat Kohli calls incorrectly during the coin flip, and his New Zealand counterpart Kane Williamson elects to field first as a result.
06:53 (IST)
Rain has stayed away from the India-New Zealand matches on this tour and the prediction is of the same for tonight. Clear skies will greet the players in Tauranga. Read the weather report for 3rd ODI here.

Meanwhile, Kane Williamson's set to return as Black Caps captain after missing four straight games due to a shoulder problem, with Ish Sodhi and Blair Tickner also being added to further bolster a squad that had been grapplying with sickness.

It's not just the men's team, but New Zealand women who clinched a series with a game to spare, with Sophie Devine playing a captain's knock of 105 to setup a 69-run win for the White Ferns over the visiting South Africans in the fourth game of the five-T20I series. Devine, in the process, became the first cricketer to post five consecutive 50-plus scores in T20 cricket.

06:30 (IST)
Ross Taylor is yet to be dismissed in the ongoing one-day series, having remained unbeaten on 109 and 73 at Hamilton and Auckland respectively in winning causes, and has been described as something of a 'God' when it came to scoring on the leg side by Indian bowling all-rounder Shardul Thakur as a result.
Read Thakur's full statement here.
06:20 (IST)
"I think the wicket had a little bit of assistance with the new ball and if you put it in the right areas, there was enough there to ask a few questions," said senior New Zealand pacer Tim Southee on the art of dismissing India captain Virat Kohli.
More on that here.
06:10 (IST)
Having already lost the three-match series courtesy defeats in Hamilton and Auckland, India will hope to sign off the one-dayers with a consolation victory at Tauranga, but will have to contend with the upbeat Black Caps getting charismatic captain and prolific run-getter Kane Williamson back in their side for the inconsequential game.
Read the preview of the third one-dayer here.

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the third and final ODI between New Zealand and India taking place at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui on our live blog here.
India vs New Zealand Third ODI Live Updates: Shaw goes for a cracking cover drive off a length delivery from Jamieson off the penultimate delivery of Jamieson's fourth over, but is blocked off inside the circle. He then works the ball towards third man off the last delivery to keep the strike. Three runs from the over, including a wide.
Preview: New Zealand will hope to avenge their 0-5 hiding at the hands of India in the T20I series by completing a 3-0 sweep in the one-dayers when they take on the Men in Blue in the third and final game in Mount Maunganui on Tuesday.
New Zealand staved off a late resistance from the Indians at Auckland to register a 22-run win in the second ODI and clinch the series 2-0. The Black Caps had earlier chased down 348 in the first game of the series at Hamilton with four wickets and nearly two overs to spare.
Ross Taylor played a key role in both Kiwi victories, remaining unbeaten on 109 and 73 at Hamilton and Auckland respectively and is currently the leading run-scorer in the series by a fair distance. The 'Player of the Match' award in the second game, however, went to debutant Kyle Jamieson for his all-round performance of 25 not out and 2/42.
Shreyas Iyer (52) and Ravindra Jadeja (55) revived the Indian innings after the visitors lost wickets early in their innings, including that of captain and prolific run-getter Virat Kohli, but failed to get their team home.
India needed 23 to win from 10 balls when Jadeja holed out to Colin de Grandhomme at long off off James Neesham's bowling to be the last man dismissed as New Zealand broke into celebrations, having collected their first series win against India in six years.
The Black Caps will be bolstered by return of regular captain Kane Williamson, who missed out on the fourth and fifth T20Is as well as the first two one-dayers and is confirmed to make his return at Tauranga. Wicket-keeper-batsman Tom Latham led the Black Caps successfully in his absence.
Williamson had smashed 95 in his last appearance for the Kiwis to nearly lead them to victory in the third T20I at Hamilton, and will hope to start off from where he had left should he be match-fit on Tuesday morning.
India, on the other hand, will hope to end their limited-overs leg of the tour of New Zealand on a happy note with a consolation win. Prithvi Shaw and Mayank Agarwal, opening in place of Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan, have got starts in the first two one-dayers, but haven't quite got the big partnership the team management would've expected from them.
Virat Kohli himself is due for a big score, and KL Rahul — the leading run-getter in the T20I series — will hope to return to form after a blip at Auckland.
Squads:
India team players: Prithvi Shaw, Mayank Agarwal, Yuzvendra Chahal, Shivam Dube, Shreyas Iyer, Manish Pandey, Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli(c), Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Navdeep Saini
New Zealand team players: Tom Latham, Martin Guptill, Ross Taylor, Scott Kuggeleijn, Colin de Grandhomme, Jimmy Neesham, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Blundell, Henry Nicholls, Mark Chapman, Kyle Jamieson, Mitchell Santner, Hamish Bennett, Ish Sodhi, Tim Southee
