Cannot help it but now looking forward to the next game. The surface was very good. I thought that the surface would be seaming more, but it was very delightful to see all the batters play with intent. [On the two changes] We wanted the sixth bowler to come in, so we brought Hooda in place of Samson. With Chahar, we wanted to try him and get one more swing bowler, who can trouble the batters. [Youngsters in the team] All the senior players are resting.

Was shaping up to be a good contest. Anyway, that will be it from us today. Thanks for tuning in. We will meet once again for the third ODI, in Christchurch on Wednesday. Till then, this is me Ashish Pant signing off on behalf of Himanshu Agrawal and Venkat Raghav. Ciao! Shikhar Dhawan: It [weather] is not in our control. You just have to wait.
We have been celebrating a number of milestones for him. His longevity and staying on the park and being a leader of the group is nice. Not many people have achieved what he has. vijay: "Will Gill's 45* and SKY's 36* count towards their averages" Yes. There were 12. 5 overs possible and Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav gave a good account of themselves despite the surface aiding pace and swing. Surya struck three sixes in his 25-ball 34, while Gill remained unbeaten on 45 off 42. Matt Henry was the only successful New Zealand bowler removing Shikhar Dhawan for 3. But as much as highlights go, that's all I have for you today with rain frustrating all the way. 8. 04pm The match has been called off. Rain has the final say.
The two umpires shake hands with the India captain, Shikhar Dhawan, and then with Kane Williamson. Long faces amongst the ground staff, who have done a remarkable job with the outfield. Pity, we couldn't get a game today, it was shaping up to be a good game. But, that's nature isn't it? 7. 58pm: Is there? The rain is consistently falling in Hamilton. It's not heavy, but persistent, and that is the issue. Just about 35 minutes before the match gets officially called off. The umpires are coming out with their umbrellas up. They are having a word with the curator, possibly asking him if there is any chance of play. Seems bleak for now.
