Santner and Duffy take three each as India are bowled out for 209
New Zealand were set 210 in the fifth ODI after Mitchell Santner and Jacob Duffy claimed three wickets apiece. Axar Patel and Ishan Kishan each made 46 for India.

India were dismissed for 209 in 42.1 overs in the fifth one-day international against New Zealand at Bay Oval on Sunday, leaving the hosts a target of 210. BBC Sport's scorecard confirmed three wickets each for Mitchell Santner and Jacob Duffy in the completed innings at Mount Maunganui. The match result remained undecided at the innings break.

Watch the highlights:

New Zealand made early progress through Matthew Fisher, who removed Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli inside the first eight overs, according to Cricbuzz's live reporting. Ruturaj Gaikwad also departed during the opening nine overs. The three early dismissals left the rest of India's batting order with a rebuilding job before the halfway stage.

Axar Patel and Ishan Kishan supplied India's highest scores, both finishing on 46, but neither reached a half-century. Cricbuzz reported that Shreyas Iyer fell to a short delivery and that New Zealand's spinners subsequently took wickets through the lower middle order. Kishan was eventually caught by Fisher off Duffy in the 41st over.

The BBC scorecard recorded Santner's figures as three for 47 from 10 overs, while Duffy finished with three for 60 from 8.1. Fisher contributed two for 28 in seven overs. Michael Bracewell conceded 35 runs and took one wicket across his full 10-over allocation, with Blair Tickner also claiming a wicket.

India's final pair added late runs. Arshdeep Singh hit two sixes in his four-ball 14, while Mohammed Siraj finished unbeaten on 14. Cricbuzz recorded a last-wicket partnership of 26 before Duffy bowled Arshdeep with the first ball of the 43rd over, ending the innings with 47 deliveries unused.

The series position added significance to the target. PTI, in a report carried by The Economic Times, said India entered the final match leading 2-1. They had won the opening two games, the third was washed out and New Zealand won the fourth by 244 runs.

PTI also reported that India gave seamer Yash Thakur his debut. Gurnoor Brar, Matt Henry and Kyle Jamieson missed the match to prepare for the two-Test series beginning on November 19.
