India vs New Zealand 3rd ODI HIGHLIGHTS: Virat Kohli scores 124 but IND succumb to 41-run defeat; Kiwis taste maiden ODI series win in India

That brings the curtain down on a fascinating ODI series in Indore. New Zealand seal a historic 2-1 series win, with Daryl Mitchell named Player of the Match and Player of the Series after a commanding display with the bat across the three games.

Thank you for staying with us through all the twists, turns and big moments from Mitchell and Phillips’ power-hitting to Virat Kohli’s superb century in a losing cause. It’s been a pleasure bringing you the action.

Good night, take care and see you soon with more sports coverage.

New Zealand have tasted their first ever ODI series win on Indian soil.

Chaos at the crease that finished things off! Arshdeep tries to push a fullish delivery to point but can’t make it to the other end in time.

Phillips’s direct hit is perfectly timed and the umpires send it upstairs for confirmation. Replays show he’s well short of the crease and the New Zealand team erupts in celebration.

Kuldeep Yadav run out (Phillips) 5 (3b, 1x4, 0x6) SR: 166.66

Kohli muscles it over the infield. Clarke drops it on a length and Kohli goes across his stumps, heaving it high over midwicket. Phillips hurls himself across near the rope and almost pulls it back, but can’t gather cleanly, the ball brushes his shoulder as he tumbles over the boundary. Four more to Kohli, and India cling on.

It's Kuldeep Yadav who has played a cheeky reverse sweep and has been mighty effective. Finds a much needed boundary of the last ball of the over.

43.5- OUT! Hat-trick ball coming up Siraj is gone first ball, and Foulkes is suddenly on a hat-trick. It’s a classic leg-side dismissal, full and sliding down the pads at decent pace. Siraj looks to help it on its way but only manages a faint nick. There’s a clear sound, the keeper snaps it up cleanly, and that’s that.

Siraj pauses to consider the review, has a brief word, but sensibly walks off. No hesitation from the officials, no drama, just a sharp bit of bowling and an even sharper take behind the stumps.

Foulkes has his tail up now.

India need 68 runs from 42 balls.

Harsha Bhogle's voice echoing in my ears as I write this. "Kohli goes down the ground" for a SIX ! Can he guide India to another famous win much like he did on that epic day at the MCG?

India - 242/6 after 42 overs. Harshit Rana- 35* off 37. Virat Kohli- 104* off 96. Men in Blue need 89 runs from 48 balls.

Virat Kohli- 103* off 95, Harshit Rana- 29* off 32. India need 98 runs from 54 balls.

The great man gets to 100 number 85 in international cricket. The crowd erupts. A moment of calm amid the chaos. Kohli nudges a slower-length delivery into the on side and scampers through to bring up yet another chase-century.

Ninety-one balls to reach three figures, and once again it’s a masterclass under pressure. He lifts his bat briefly in acknowledgement- composed, focused, fully aware the task is still unfinished. A seventh ODI hundred against New Zealand, and India’s hopes continue to rest squarely on his shoulders.

A single takes Kohli to 99. Partnership worth 46 off 44.

Jayden Lennox, 9 overs, 2 for 32. Mighty effective in Indore. IND: 221/6 after 39 overs. Need 117 runs from 66 balls.

Too full and right in Kohli’s hitting arc. He plants his front foot, keeps his balance, and lifts it with ease over extra cover. Pure timing, no fuss and he’s up to 94, the finish line in sight.

Phillips offers it in the slot and Harshit Rana makes him pay. Down on one knee, full swing through the line, and the ball disappears high and handsome over long-on. Indore erupts as Rana launches a monster.

Harshit Rana- 10* off 18 | Virat Kohli- 79* off 79. India need 143 runs from 84 balls.
