Virat Kohli (84*), Harshit Rana (16*). A jittery phase of playing is going on right now in Indore. Since Jadeja's dismissal, Harshit Rana has come to the crease. Rana is capable of hitting some lusty blows but the judgement is still out there on whether he can rescue the team from a terrible situation. There are a couple of yes nos between Kohli and Rana at the start of their partnership where both batters survive run out chances. Kohli continues to take positive approach against New Zealand, hitting boundaries whenever he can. India need 151 from the last 15. IND vs NZ Live Score, 3rd ODI: India (187/6 in 35 ov), chasing 338 vs NZ in Indore. Virat Kohli (78*), Harshit Rana (3*). Extremely, extremely poor from Ravindra Jadeja. An absolute disaster for India. Ravindra Jadeja has holed out deep square leg against Jayden Lennox and has left India in the lurch. Jadeja leaves as the 6th wicket of the evening and Virat Kohli is running out of partners in this game. IND vs NZ Live Score, 3rd ODI: India (179/6 in 33 ov), chasing 338 vs NZ in Indore. Virat Kohli (72*), Ravindra Jadeja (12). India are ahead of the mark against New Zealand at the 31st over mark. India are 175/5 at 31, while New Zealand had 169 runs on the board. Virat needs Ravindra Jadeja to play a solid innings on the other end. Kohli right now has scored 72 runs and is closing in on his 54th ODI century. The important development at the moment is that New Zealand captain Michael Bracewell is out of the park. The off spinner has strained his calf and Daryl Mitchell has assumed captaincy of the side at the moment. That is 10 quality overs that NZ will not get from the spinner. If Ravindra Jadeja and Virat Kohli bat deep, India have a chance of winning this game. And that is why perhaps, many fans on social media are angry at Nitish's dismissal against Clarke. IND vs NZ Live Score, 3rd ODI: India (170/5 in 30 ov), chasing 338 vs NZ in Indore. Virat Kohli (69*), Ravindra Jadeja (8*). Nitish Kumar Reddy's celebrations are shortlived. Within 4 balls of his Pushpa celebration, Nitish Kumar Reddy loses his wicket. This marks the end of an impressive innings from the youngster who was put under intense scrutiny by the team management in the last game. India lose their 6th wicket, and with that Ravindra Jadeja, India's last recognised batter, comes to the crease. IND vs NZ Live Score, 3rd ODI: India (160/5 in 28 ov), chasing 338 vs NZ in Indore. Virat Kohli (65*), Nitish Reddy (53). There was a small chat between Kohli and Nitish a couple of overs ago and it seems like the young all-rounder has been given the license to go for the big shots if the ball is in his arc. He frees his muscles and deposits Foulkes for a huge six as 12 runs come off the 26th over.The order from the team management will be to mimic what Mitchell and Phillips did in the New Zealand innings. And here comes another six and Nitish gets to his fifty in style. He pulls out the Pushpa celebration and 10 comes off the over. IND vs NZ Live Score, 3rd ODI: India (157/4 in 27 ov), chasing 338 vs NZ in Indore. Virat Kohli (65*), Nitish Reddy (51*). For 32 balls, India didn't have a boundary to their name and it is Kohli who gets it with a very controlled shot that beats Kyle Jamieson. New Zealand at the half way mark were 119 for three and India are way ahead in that aspect. The only issue for them is the lack of batters to follow after this stand. Jadeja hasn't been in the best of form and Harshit's batting is still a work in progress. IND vs NZ Live Score, 3rd ODI: India (135/4 in 25 ov), chasing 338 vs NZ in Indore. Virat Kohli (59*), Nitish Reddy (35*). While the wickets column may suggest that India are in trouble, that isn't the case at all. Virat Kohli has got to his fifty in 51 balls and India are actually ahead of where New Zealand were in their innings at this stage. Just as we say that, a small mix up almost sees the star batter get run out. There was a collective gasp of air at that point as they will want Kohli to continue on his merry ways. The partnership is also more than fifty and they're steadying things in Indore. IND vs NZ Live Score, 3rd ODI: India (122/4 in 23 ov), chasing 338 vs NZ in Indore. Virat Kohli (51*), Nitish Reddy (30*). The complaint about Nitish Kumar Reddy has been that he hasn't done a lot with the chances that he has gotten so far. Well, he has a big chance to make an impression and he welcomes stand-in captain Daryl Mitchell with a lofted shot down the ground. A good release shot and then there is concentration on show with good defence. His job is to stay and give Virat Kohli company tonight in Indore as they look to navigate through the rough phase. IND vs NZ Live Score, 3rd ODI: India (108/4 in 20 ov), chasing 338 vs NZ in Indore. Virat Kohli (45*), Nitish Reddy (22*). Virat Kohli is batting well on one end. His strike rate has dipped below hundred as he tries to see off this phase. Nitish Kumar Reddy has joined Kohli in the middle as India try to make a monumental comeback in the series decider at Indore. IND vs NZ Live Score, 3rd ODI: India (83/4 in 16 ov), chasing 338 vs NZ in Indore. Virat Kohli (35*), Nitish Reddy (8*). This is a massive moment in the match. Sent to bat up the order, KL Rahul misfires in Indore. India are in deep trouble in Indore as they are staring down the barrel of the first ever ODI series defeat against New Zealand. 12.5: Jayden Lennox to KL Rahul, OUT! TAKEN! Jayden Lennox strikes in his first over, and this is a big wicket for New Zealand, as the centurion from the last game goes back cheaply here. Length ball, KL Rahul is early in his shot. He tries to check his drive, but it ends up popping up, which is grabbed by the ever-dependable Glenn Phillips. The keeper-batter falls for 1 run off 6 balls. IND vs NZ Live Score, 3rd ODI: India (71/4 in 13 ov), chasing 338 vs NZ in Indore. Virat Kohli (31*), Nitish Reddy (0*). Disaster. Absolute disaster for India in Indore. Senior middle order batter Shreyas Iyer falls for just 3 runs and India are now 3 wickets down in Indore. Needless from Shreyas Iyer there. Extra bounce does him. 11.2: Kristian Clarke to Shreyas Iyer, OUT! TAKEN! Shreyas Iyer absolutely throws his wicket away here. Kristian Clarke bangs this into the pitch and around. Iyer stands tall and tries to pull it on the front foot. He hits it quite well but does not get the elevation at all. It flies flat and straight to mid on, where Zakary Foulkes reverse cups it near his chest, while tumbling backwards after taking it. Poor choice of shot from Iyer and he has to walk back for 3 off 10, and India are 68/3, chasing 338 runs. Disaster for India in the powerplay. Right after Rohit Sharma, India captain Shubman Gill falls. An absolute peach from Kyle Jamieson to get rid of the India captain. Length ball, just seams away after pitching on off stump. Jamieson's wide of the angle line puts Shubman in trouble as he pushes towards the ball. The balls seams in, and beats the inside edge of Shubman's bat. Senior India batter Virat Kohli starts with a bang. He has redifined his ODI batting, by changing his approach at the start of his innings. Kohli has become more aggressive at the start, and is willing to take risks. In the 5th ball of the 6th over, Kohli pulls Zakary Foulkes with disdain, hitting the short ball for a massive six through midwicket. Expect some more fireworks from the batter in this powerplay. IND vs NZ Live Score, 3rd ODI: India (40/1 in 6 ov), chasing 338 vs NZ in Indore. Virat Kohli (8*), Shubman Gill (19*).
