Indian openers were extremely aggressive in their reply.

Rohit Sharma too played a solid knock worth 39 off 38 but fell to Corey Anderson - his second of five.

In-form Virat Kohli (right) was unable to contribute this time and was removed on six by Hamish Bennett.

New Zealand threatened to take the match away from India's reach but a twist in the tale was yet to unfold.

Ashwin staged a comeback for India.

Ashwin hit 65 off 46 - his maiden ODI ton - to stun the Kiwis.

Once Ashwin fell, Jadeja took over and slammed his way through the Kiwi attack. He hit 66 off 45.

He was especially powerful in the final over but 17 off the 18 is what he managed to help India tie New Zealand.

The tourists cannot win this series now and wins in the remaining two matches will help the side share the series' trophy.
