New Zealand beat India by 22 runs in the second ODI at Auckland on Saturday. In-form Ross Taylor produced a rearguard act with an unbeaten half-century to rescue New Zealand to 273 for eight.
India captain Virat Kohli said he elected to bowl because defending a total would again be difficult on a ground famous for its short boundaries.
