India 54/1 in 10.5 Overs | India vs New Zealand Live Score, 1st ODI: Rain halts play as Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli steady India's chase after Rohit's early dismissal

Trending now 1 day ago 6

7.25 am GMT (12.55 pm IST) - Good news, folks! The covers are coming off, as the rain has stopped. Ravi Shastri informs us on air that overs have started to reduce since 7.20 am GMT (12.50 pm IST), and he reckons we might lose an over or two. The two umpires are out in the middle, having a closer look at the conditions as well.

7.15 am GMT (12.45 pm IST) - Umm... unfortunately, it looks like the rain has picked up now, and the ground staff are bringing in more covers. The bowler's run-up area, which had been left exposed, is now being protected as well. There's still no official word on when overs might start getting reduced.

7.10 am GMT (12.40 pm IST) - It's still drizzling out there in Auckland. It's not that heavy, as reckoned by Shane Bond on air, but it's more of a steady drizzle/mizzle as we speak. However, it will be crucial to see how long the delay lasts, as we are not far from the point where overs begin to get trimmed. So let's hope the weather clears up and we get back to play soon.

This looks like a passing shower but for now, the groundsmen bring on the covers to protect the pitch and the square areas. The brollies are up in the crowd, with several spectators already shielding themselves in raincoats as the rain picks up by the minute.

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 1st ODI: India won the toss and elected to bowl in the first ODI against New Zealand here at Eden Park on Wednesday as the Men in Blue play a five-game ODI series for the first time since March 2019.

With the ODI World Cup in the fray, veterans Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are back in the mix. But skipper Shubman Gill will be wary of his limited resources and will look to start with a win and take an early lead in the series, with the squad set to shuffle for the final two games.

New Zealand, too, found themselves dealing with a string of injury blows ahead of the series opener. While Mark Chapman and Rachin Ravindra continue to recover from their respective injuries, regular opener Devon Conway was ruled out the day before the game after colliding with Matt Henry during training.

Despite these setbacks, the hosts have a well-rounded unit, with Glenn Phillips coming off a record-breaking T20I series. The visitors, meanwhile, will be without two key starters, Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya, while Prasidh Krishna has also been ruled out with an injury. Hence, both teams have considered their respective playing XIs ahead of the first game.

Winning the toss, Indian captain Shubman Gill mentioned that the side was aware of the overcast conditions, and were going in with four fast bowlers and two all-rounders in Naman Dhir and Axar Patel.

“We'll bowl first, bit of overcast weather, and in case there's a reduction of overs, it's good to chase. The conditions here are going to be similar to SA (where the WC is happening) compared to some other places. We are going with Anshul, Auqib, Gurnoor, Arshdeep as the bowlers with Naman and Axar as the allrounders,” Gill said.

Meanwhile, Blackcaps skipper Mitchell Santner said, “We've got to go again on another good pitch. With the schedules, there's been a bit more rotation. Conway is doing well. He is going to rest up and obviously not going to play today. So Seifert gets a chance and like India, we also have four pacers.

Playing XIs:

India: Shubman Gill (c), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel, KL Rahul (wk), Naman Dhir, Anshul Kamboj, Auqib Nabi, Gurnoor Brar, Arshdeep Singh

New Zealand: Tim Seifert, Will Young, Henry Nicholls, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Latham (wk), Glenn Phillips, Mitchell Santner (c), Nathan Smith, Kyle Jamieson, Jacob Duffy, Blair Tickner
