3.3, Nehra to BB McCullum, OUT, Nehra gets the big wicket! Brendon walked across his stumps and tried to work this length ball down to fine leg, missed and was hit flush in front, and the finger went up straight away, 150th wicket for Ashish in ODIs, the openers are gone, India on top at the moment.
17.5, Yuvraj Singh to How, OUT, he's bowled 'em, it pitched on off stump, he tried to go back and work it on the leg side, it straightened and beat the waft to crash in to the off stump, Yuvraj strikes in his first over, he got in to a very awkward position in the end and was in the air as he played the shot.
18.4, Ashwin to Styris, OUT, Ashwin gets one this time! Styris looked to belatedly sweep this fuller one into the leg side, missed the line and was hit bang in front of the stumps, the umpire had not doubt about that one, New Zealand are tottering now .
23.1, Pathan to Vettori, OUT, Yusuf gets one now! it was fired in on leg stump from round the wicket, Dan pushed forward to cover the turn, but it spun across his bat, produced the edge and Yuvraj did the rest at slip, Yusuf is all smiles, New Zealand are in total disarray.
21.1, Elliott to PA Patel, FOUR, scores the winning runs with a pull to the deep midwicket boundary off a long hop from Elliott, there's the clean sweep for India, the second time they have won 5-0 after beating England by the same margin in 2008, and it's come just at the innings cut-off mark.
