6.50pm That brings to an end today's proceedings. Thanks for joining us. See you again soon.
6.40pm Last to be interviewed is Mohammed Shami, the Player of the Match. He says, and I paraphrase: "I always start trying to bowl good rhythm and line and length. The seam release is all about reptitions. As they say, if you love something enough, it become yours. I get irritated if the seam is not perfect. I love it when you can see the seam in the air. So I just keep trying to do that."
"Rohit Sharma to speak now. And I paraphrase: "I thought these last five games, the bowlers have really stepped up. Whatever we have asked of them, they have delivered. Especially doing this in India. You can expect these performances away from India, but they have real skills. When we trained here yesterday in the night, it moved around, there was good carry. Which is why we wanted that challenge: 250 would have been quite challenging. Shami and Siraj did want to go on for longer spells, but I told them a big Test series coming up. I had to step in and say boss there are other bowlers as well. I am happy with my batting. I have kept my approach quite similar. I try to take the bowlers on. It is important to do that: to try to out the pressure back. I know a big score hasn't come, but I am happy with how I am going. I know a big score is around the corner.".
Tom Latham is the first one to speak first. And I paraphrase: "Batting up top wasn't our finest day. India bowled right areas for a long time and pretty much gave us nothing. Not idea but full credit to India. The surface did a little bit, a bit of tennis-ball bounce, some came through, some didn't. Unfortunately we were unable to build a partnership. Every time you want to put in a great performance but unfortunately we were unable to adapt quickly enough."
6.30 As we await the presentation, I think this is India's biggest win against New Zealand in terms of number of balls remaining.
6.27pm "This was a good opportunity for me to spend some time in the middle, and happy that I have come back not out," Gill says. "We were expecting there would be more for their fast bowlers, but after the five bowlers it was good to bat on. It did grip a little for Santner and Bracewell."
6.23pm With that, another series win wrapped up by India. Set up some excellent seam bowling from Shami and Siraj, and then a good back-up act by Pandya when New Zealand looked to rebuild. A target of 108 was never going to test India, and they have got home with nearly 30 overs remaining
END OF OVER:20 | 5 Runs | IND: 107/2 (2 runs required from 30 overs, RR: 5.35, RRR: 0.06)
