That's a wrap: A good all-round effort from New Zealand, who'll be hoping to replicate this performance in Pune. Join us again on Wednesday too find out if they can.

Post-match presentations:

Tom Latham (MoM):"It was pretty humid out there. Keeping for 50 overs and then batting is pretty tough. Conditions back home are pretty different, so nice to see it through. Whatever suits the team, and at the moment that No. 5 position is up for grabs. The biggest thing is communication, and we were talking regularly between overs. Ross had a calming influence as a senior player.

Kane Williamson: "Brilliant performance. The way we set the tone with the new ball was outstanding. Great hundred from Virat, becoming fairly normal. And then to see a partnership like that... one of the best chases I've seen. The bowling performance in this humidity was a great effort. The 200-run partnership was a special, special partnership. You want to take the game deep over here. There were still a few more batsmen in the shed. A great team performance today. Very challenging weather. Guys had a great attitude, stuck to the task well."

Virat Kohli: "On a personal note, the knock was pretty satisfying. 275+ was good on that wicket, but NZ batted really well in the second half. Ross and Tom were outstanding, they deserved to win today. Putting the dew into perspective in the last 13-14 overs, we were definitely some runs short. Would have liked to have a better batting performance. However, from where we were, 280 was a competitive score. They tackled our spinners really well. They picked their areas. Credit to them. Tom especially. Enjoyed watching him. Trent also bowled really well. The wicket had enough bounce and turn. If the game had drifted away from us earlier, we could have brought Kedar in. But as it was, we didn't feel the need."

Latham 103*, Taylor 99* overshadow Kohli ton

Latham manages a century but Taylor doesn't. But New Zealand would give them equal credit for helping the visitors secure a six-wicket win with an over to spare. With the victory, New Zealand have also pulled off the highest successful chase at the Wankhede stadium, overhauling India's efforts in the 2011 World Cup final. It was the 200-run partnership between Latham and Taylor - New Zealand's highest for the fourth wicket - that overshadowed Kohli's century No. 31.

New Zealand close in:

Only 13 needed for New Zealand, Latham is on 99 and Taylor is on 89. Four more overs remaining.

Twin fifties keep NZ in the hunt:

Both Taylor and Latham have registered fighting half-centuries and have extended their partnership past 150 to take New Zealand to 232 for 3 after 43 overs. New Zealand need 49 more off seven overs.

Ominous signs?
