Henry takes three wickets in opening over after Young's 125 against India
Matt Henry dismissed Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer without conceding a run in the opening over of India's chase. Will Young had earlier scored 125 in New Zealand's total of 333 at Bay Oval.

Matt Henry took three wickets in the first over of India's chase in the fourth one-day international against New Zealand at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui on Friday. According to BBC Sport's live scorecard, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer were all dismissed without scoring after New Zealand had been bowled out for 333 from 50 overs.

Watch the highlights:

Henry struck with his first delivery, having Rohit caught by Finn Allen. He then bowled Kohli with the fifth ball and trapped India captain Iyer lbw with the sixth, completing a maiden over with three wickets. India were still on nought when the third wicket fell, leaving Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ishan Kishan to begin rebuilding the innings.

The early collapse followed a century from Will Young, whose 125 came from 108 balls and included 14 fours and four sixes. Tim Seifert contributed 58 from 48 deliveries, hitting six fours and three sixes, as New Zealand's opening partnership reached 85. India's decision to field after winning the toss was followed by a first breakthrough at the end of the 12th over, when Gurnoor Brar dismissed Seifert.

Nick Kelly made four and Dean Foxcroft eight before Allen added 41 from 30 balls. Allen and Young put on 90 for the fourth wicket, taking New Zealand from 125 for three to 215 before Axar Patel removed Allen. Young was eventually caught off Naman Dhir with the total on 256, and Michael Bracewell departed for 15 shortly afterwards.

Mitch Santner added 24, Kristian Clarke made 22 and Kyle Jamieson finished unbeaten on 19. New Zealand lost their final two wickets to run-outs on the last two deliveries. Patel returned two for 39 from 10 overs, while Auqib Nabi took two for 59 and Brar two for 69. Arshdeep Singh and Dhir claimed one wicket each; Kuldeep Yadav finished without a wicket.

At the scorecard check for this report, India were two for three after 2.1 overs, with Gaikwad and Kishan each on one. Jamieson's opening over had cost two runs, while Henry had conceded none from seven deliveries. India still needed 332 to reach their target of 334, and the match remained in progress.
