10.53pm That's your lot from this game. Hope you enjoyed our coverage as much as we did bringing it to you. Until next time, this is Deivarayan Muthu signing off on the behalf of Sreshth Shah and K Vairavan. Take care and cheers.

10.40pm That is that. India go 1-0 up in the five-match series. They bossed the chase when Kohli was in the middle on this bouncy Eden Park surface. He played some imperious pulls and drives of course before holing out at the doorstep of victory for 74 off 51 balls. Kohli's dismissal was part of a late wobble before Dhir and Rahul got the job done for India. The win was set up by the seamers who dismissed NZ for 185 on a rainy day. Arshdeep, Brar and Kamboj were relentless with their lengths and shared the spoils for the hosts. Do stick around for the post-match presentation.

Shubman Gill: Definitely, we were very good with the ball and the fielding was very good. The run-out from Rohit bhai changed the momentum of the game. Overall, a good team performance. Anshul is the kind of bowler who os tailor-made for these conditions and Gurnoor can create extra bounce with the old ball. The way both of them bowled...it was magnificent. The ball got quick and nippy after the rain. The way Virat bhai batted, made it easier for us. It's all about consistency for us.

Mitchell Santner: I think the pitch was a bit faster, we expect it at Eden Park, but we probably didn't adapt. When you fight the bounce, it can be hard. After the rain, it skidded on nicely. Credit to the fast bowlers and we found some good stuff towards the end of the game going into Wellington.

Kamboj, Player of the Match: I think the key was bowling consistent lines and lengths. The basic plan was to bowl on the right length. The wobble seam was working well and I was just using that. I also get good amount of bounce off the wicket. It's about the length and focussing on that

Prasanna S: "Life comes to a full circle for Kamboj. I still remember the highly forgettable test debut he had in England last year and everyone almost wrote him off. To come and bowl a spell like this in NZ and winning POTM shows his resilience and mental strength."

Apurba: "NKR should play instead of Nabi for balance of the team"

Aniket: "Azweer, and like Sachin Kohli has been carrying the nation's hopes for 17 years and counting."

Avinash: "Naman has looked like a solid all rounder option so far. I cannot help but compare hom to what Raina used to do in MSD days. I hope he continues to improve and prove to be an asset for the team"

JAY: "Kamboj should get the MOM. If not him, would give Kohli as he looked to be so at ease than anyone else.."

Prasanna S: "The way India is negotiating short pitch bowling at a quality pace from NZ seamers is a bit concerning for sure before the test series. Also KL Rahul should play at no.5 to get more game time before the test series, now he is in the ODI squad for the first 3 games only. "

Azweer : "Bringing back Sachin Memories. Once Sachin is out, other batters follows... "

Ravi Kanth: "Shreyas vs Short ball always interesting"

Dhir in at No.7 for India

Harish: "For the King it was walk in Eden Park today, what a knock!! "

Riskreddy: "Every batter that came out to bat today from NZ or India have found it difficult to score. Except of course Virat Kohli. Looked as if he was batting on a different pitch. Really shows the difference in class."

Ajith: "Asking Axar to bat 5 every game is asking too much from a bowling allrounder! If Ind need this role, then Jadeja should do it at the world cup."

nikj: "3 wickets in 10 balls for NZ. But came too late"
