India vs New Zealand: 3rd ODI: Rain stops play as NZ reach 104/1 in response to IND's 219

Devon Conway and Finn Allen put New Zealand in a commanding position in the 3rd ODI against India at Christchurch before rain stopped the play.

New Zealand were batting at 104/1 in 18 overs before umpires signaled for the covers. A minimum of 20 overs is required to decide an outcome.

Meanwhile, Allen scored 57 as he and Conway stitched 97 runs for the opening wicket.

Conway is now joined by captain Kane Williamson. Earlier, India were bundled out for 219 in 47.3 overs after being invited to bat first.

Washington Sundar scored 51 to guide India to a respectable total, after the Men In Blue were reduced to 121/5.

Apart from Sundar, Shreyas Iyer showed good intent but missed out on his half-century by a run. Barring the two no other Indian batters could get going.

Shikhar Dhawan and Shubman Gill started slow, and added 39 runs for the opening wicket before Gill fell for 13 against Adam Milne.

The pacer picked two more wickets, which included the scalps of Dhawan and Suryakumar Yadav.

Rishabh Pant once again failed to impress and was dismissed for 10 by Daryl Mitchell.
