That's all we have for you from commentary, thanks for your company and goodnight.

Tom Latham is Man of the Match. "All good," he says. "Pretty humid out there,

keeping 50 overs and batting all that time, it was tough. Conditions are completely different than back home. Whatever suits the team. At the moment, its No. 5, it's up for grabs and it was nice to contribute today. Something I had been working on, just didn't have the confidence to play the reverse sweep so early in the game. The biggest thing in a partnership is communication, we were talking every over, hats off to him, playing such a great innings. He was a calming influence on me."

"Brilliant performance. The tone we set was good at the start of the innings. It was a briliant performance from Virat, happening every time he walks out to the crease. But we stuck at it and it was one of the greatest chases I've seen, certainly in my time as a Black Cap," Kane Williamson says, "Short ball, we tried it a lot, would have been nicer if a few balls had gone to hand. But I have to go back to that partnership - Tom and Ross controlled the innings perfectly through the middle overs. You know over here that you take the game deep. It was something we wanted to do. Even with a few more batsmen in the shed, they had to finish it off. The weather was very challenging. We've been here two weeks, you can't really get used to it, but we got on with it. Stuck to the task well and in all facets"

9.45 pm Virat Kohli gets a memento from the MCA for his 200th ODI. "The knock was satisfying," he sais "Purely because New Zealand put us under pressure early on. We thought 275 was a good total. But Ross and Tom were fantastic. Didn't give us any chances, apart from a run-out here or there. And when you get a 200 partnership, you deserve to win. Putting dew into perspective, in the last 13-14 overs, we were 20-30 short. But in the first half of the day, the wicket was playing very different. We would have liked a better batting performance, if a couple more guys had chipped in, batting a few more overs, we could have 40 runs extra. New Zealand tackled our spinners really well, handled the fast bowlers too. Credit to Tom and Ross - Tom especially, Ross has been around for a while. He's not played as many international games. but he played superbly. Trent as well, with the ball. There was enough turn in the pitch to trust the frontline spinners. Maybe if the chase had gone away from us earlier, or If the lower order was in, we might have used Kedar. Hardik did well for us as well, so we didn't feel the need to bring Kedar in

9.35 pm New Zealand are always a team that hide a bit of their firepower. Seeing their line-up on paper, not many would have thought they would take a 1-0 lead over an Indian side that had walloped Australia and Sri Lanka so substantially. But as was the case in the World T20 a year ago, when they read pitches so superbly, and went in without Boult and Southee for the whole tournament, New Zealand have surprised the world again.

They saw Tom Latham's skill in playing spin and realised he could serve them better - especially in slow, subcontinent conditions - in the middle order and that move has paid off immediately. There have only been 10 centuries by New Zealand batsmen at No. 4 or lower in ODIs since 2015. Six of them were from Taylor, who made 95 today. They needed steel in the middle order - they were booted from the Champions Trophy because they were Williamson or nothing. Today, the captain made only 9, but his team-mates stood up for him. Spare a thought for Trent Boult as well, who knocked over India's openers in his first five overs, and then forced India into rebuild more. He finished with 4 for 35 in 10 overs.

"Take the win any time. The way Kohli went out and anchored the innings, put us under pressure," Ross Taylor says. "But Tom Latham went out there and held us together. He took the pressure off me. Our conversation was to take it deep, and make sure we didn't have a new batsman in. It's very hard to start here. Kuldeep and Chahal are fantastic, spinning both ways. It helped that we had a right-left handed partnership. To keep wicket the whole 50 overs, to bat in the middle order, after being an opener, I think it's one of his best innings ever"

Mustafa Moudi: "This is the Highest Chased Score at Wankhede Beating India's Record of chasing 275 at the WC 2011 Finals..."

Shankar: "I don't to see any reason to worry for just one loss. But, India should seriously think about Dhoni's role in the team. They have to bring in Manish in place of MSD. He is becoming liability to this team. "

Bhuvneshwar to Nicholls, FOUR runs

heaves it over deep square leg for the victory! A length ball, sent soaring into the night sky, and towards a crowd that is simply stunned.

Taylor gets a pat on the back from the incoming batsman, Henry Nicholls and walks into his dressing room to find his team-mates on their feet for him. Captain's first in line, sharing in a hug. Williamson fell for single-digits and yet New Zealand are winning.

Bhuvneshwar to Taylor, OUT

Chahal is claiming the catch at extra cover and Taylor is gone for 95! He's played a splendid hand, but it ends with a wide half-volley being smacked to the fielder, low to his right.

Bumrah to Taylor, 1 leg bye

huge appeal for lbw and it did look good. Umpire Gough says not out and India have reviewed. The hoick from Taylor, his front foot on middle and off, and the bat hacking at the ball like a machete. Misses it altogether and is struck on the pad. The first replay the third umpire sees is about the no-ball, and it appears tight. "At the moment, I;ve got nothing to say that's definitely a no-ball" says umpire Tucker. "That's the best we've got," says the technician. So its ruled a legal deliver. No bat involved. And ball tracking says its umpire's call. Taylor survives, and might well have enjoyed the break in play

This is a list of New Zealand batsmen at No. 4 or lower making centuries in recent times. One name dominates the list. And he'ss on 95. It also shows how much New Zealand need a batsman in the middle order to stand up and contribute.

fourth ODI hundred, first in Asia, and one of the very best, and this effort is after he has kept wicket for 50 overs. Gets to it with a simple nudge off his feet and then takes off his helmet to salute his team-mates and then enjoys a hug well done from his partner.

Bumrah to Latham, SIX runs

launches it over wide long-on! Latham is one short of a century! What an innings this has been. He got a hundred in the practice match at No. 5. And now he's proving his case in international cricket, against one of the better attacks in these slow conditions.

Tarun: "One of the finest chases I have seen in long long time. Good old fashioned hard cricket. Dug-in, Rotate strike, hit an occasional boundary, sweep spinners and most importantly, keep a calm head and just play. Really good without too many fireworks!!"

yorker, just outside leg - it's actually only by a sliver, as Latham flicks and misses. Really harsh to penalise that
