Live Cricket Score of India vs New Zealand, 2nd ODI

That's it from us folks! Until next time then ...

Bhuvneshwar Kumar is the Man of the Match for his figures of 3 for 45 - That's my nature (being calm and confident), never try to change that. Whenever I bowl with the new ball, I try to swing it. It didn't happen today, so I was focussed in bowling in good areas. When you're confident, things get easier. Thanks to management, they keep motivating me. If you compare to last couple of years, I feel much stronger when it comes to fitness.

Virat Kohli: Pretty good game for us today, exactly what we spoke at toss time. Bowlers were really clinical today and fielders as well. Both those guys are coming along nicely. They know they're going to start more often than not. Today, with the wicket being slow, it was heartening to see them getting wickets in conventional ways. Dhawan has been playing really well. He's pretty confident at the moment. Dinesh as well, getting some crucial runs for himself as well as the team. I look forward to challenges. We spoke about bouncing back, and we have bounced back here today. Would look to play a similar sort of game in Kanpur as well.

Kane Williamson: It was one of those surfaces that if you could get a score on the board, and then squeeze, but 230 wasn't enough. Credit to India the way they bowled. Lot of positives from our middle order to take us to that total. Surface wasn't easy to play fluently. De Grandhomme played nicely. Would have been nice to have had a few more to defend. We certainly came here with high hopes. We put in a much better performance in Mumbai.

Here's what Karthik had to say: I would like to think so (that the form is getting better). It is important to spend as much time in the middle. It was even more important for me to be there when we won the match and I am happy that I was able to do that. Maybe I took a little more time but with confidence the runs will flow. So far so good (on the comeback). I have had a lot of demons to fight and these things happen inside you. In the end lot of credit to Ravi Shastri and Virat Kohli. Afternoon it (the surface) was okay, when the ball was new it was coming on and when it got scruffed up the odd ball was turning. I am not able to put it exactly to what I am feeling. I have got a good score and need to take confidence from this match to win more matches.

ALL OVER THEN!India win by six wickets and level the series with the last game set to be played in Kanpur. Indian bowlers set up the match before half-centuries from Dhawan and Karthik helped India cruise past the line. Karthik came in at No. 4 and scored an unbeaten and the innings will give him plenty of confidence as he looks to nail that spot.
