Nagging bowling. Violent but controlled aggression while batting. Game over. Congrats NZ. Hang on for the post-match presentation.

Man of the Match Jesse Ryder : "Things are going all right at the moment. The confidence is high. I am looking forward to play in the Test series.

Vettori: We are looking forward to Test series. It should be competitive. Thanks to the crowd for coming in." And he adds with a smile, "Some of you supported us!" ha! Huge Indian-dominated audience there.

Dhoni: I would like to thank my team for playing well through the series. Sorry {to the crowd who roar] for disappointing you guys in the final match.

That's it from us. On behalf of Sanjay, our scorer, this is Sriram Veera, signing off. See you in the Test series. Ta!

I Sharma to Guptill, FOUR, Majestic pull to bring up the win. It was the bouncer and Martin Guptill stood up tall to unfurl a spanking pull. New Zealand have won the game and by doing that, have made everybody look forward to the Test series.
