Will Young's career-best 125 carries New Zealand to 333 as India begin a chase for the series

Will Young's career-best 125 carried New Zealand to 333 all out at Bay Oval and left India a chase worth the series

New Zealand were bowled out for 333 off the last ball of their innings in the fourth ODI at Bay Oval after Shreyas Iyer won the toss and put them in, an innings built around Young's first hundred against India.

India lead the five-match series 2-0, the third ODI having been washed out, so a win here takes the rubber with a game to spare. New Zealand have no margin left at all.

Young was dropped twice in the second over, by Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan, and India were made to pay for both.

Two chances go down in the second over

Young had faced only a handful of deliveries when the openings came and went, the first put down by Rohit Sharma and the second by the wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan.

He reached his hundred from 88 balls, the fifth century of his ODI career and his first against India, and pressed on to a career-best 125 from 108 balls with 14 fours and four sixes.

Along the way he survived a concussion check and an unsuccessful India review for lbw, batting through the middle overs without ever settling for consolidation.

Naman Dhir eventually had him caught, in the 37th over, with New Zealand 256 for 5 and the platform already laid.

Seifert sets the tempo

Tim Seifert took the early initiative at the other end, striking 58 from 48 balls with six fours and three sixes.

The opening pair put on 85 before Gurnoor Brar broke the stand in the 13th over, Kishan taking the catch behind the stumps.

It was the sort of start New Zealand have not managed often in this series, and it dictated the shape of everything that followed.

India share the wickets without stemming the flow

Axar Patel claimed two. He had Nick Kelly stumped by Kishan for 4, then broke the most dangerous stand of the innings in the 31st over when Finn Allen holed out to Rohit Sharma at cover for 41 from 30 balls.

Auqib Nabi accounted for Dean Foxcroft, caught by Brar, in a passage where India took wickets at regular intervals but rarely slowed the scoring for long.

Brar returned for a second when Michael Bracewell fell for 15 to a catch by Naman Dhir in the 38th over, New Zealand 258 at the time.

The first seven wickets were shared between five bowlers, which says something about India's spread of options and rather less about their control.

Santner's late push

New Zealand's captain Mitchell Santner supplied the acceleration the innings needed at the death, making 24 from 29 balls with two sixes.

Arshdeep Singh ended it in the 45th over, Kishan again taking the catch, with New Zealand 294 for 7.

The lower order added the remainder from there, New Zealand losing their last man to the final delivery of the 50th over.

Iyer's side face the chase

Shreyas Iyer is captaining India on this tour in place of Shubman Gill, who has joined the Test squad, with Kishan as his deputy.

His bowlers found wickets in every phase without ever controlling the innings, and the two lapses in the second over proved the costliest passage of the day.

A chase of this size would be the hardest work India have had in the series, and it is the last thing standing between them and an unassailable lead.

India need 334 to win at Bay Oval and take the series with a match still to play.
