New Zealand vs India , 1st ODI at Eden Park, Auckland , IND in NZ, 5 ODIs, 2026 , Nov 04, 2026 Scorecard

40.2: Gurnoor Brar to Blair Tickner, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Brar wraps up the innings, ending the 39-run stand for the final wicket. He raises his arms in celebration and gives a kind of a send-off. Tickner can't help but smile. New Zealand have been bowled out on 185. A short-of-good-length ball, angling in from middle stump, following Tickner as he shifts across to the leg side. He retreats and attempts to slap it down the ground, but only manages an edge that is safely held behind by KL Rahul.

40.1: Gurnoor Brar to Blair Tickner, Swing and a miss! Gurnoor Brar bangs in a sharp bouncer, on middle, Blair Tickner has a big swipe across the line but fails to connect.

39.5: Axar Patel to Blair Tickner, Quicker through the air, on a fractionally fuller length, on leg. Tickner knocks it down to long on for a single.

39.4: Axar Patel to Jacob Duffy, Angled onto the pads, full in length, this is whipped across to deep mid-wicket for a single.

39.2: Axar Patel to Blair Tickner, On a length, drifting in, Blair hangs back and punches it to short cover.

39.1: Axar Patel to Blair Tickner, Landed full, and it slides in. Tickner pushes at it but the ball beats the inside edge and strikes on the thigh pad. There is an LBW appeal, but the umpire keeps his finger down.

38.6: Gurnoor Brar to Jacob Duffy, Action replay of the previous ball. Short of a length, on top of the stumps, Duffy swings like a rusty gate and gets beaten.

38.5: Gurnoor Brar to Jacob Duffy, Another one banged short on the leg stump, angling in with bounce. Duffy is cramped up for room but still goes for the pull and misses to connect.

38.4: Gurnoor Brar to Jacob Duffy, Back of a length, outside off, Duffy swings to pull, only to miss out.

38.1: Gurnoor Brar to Blair Tickner, Ouch! A nasty delivery by Brar. A well-directed short ball into the body that rises at an uncomfortable height. Blair has no room to work with as he attempts the pull, gets a slight outside edge, and the ball crashes into his helmet grill. That completely unsettles Tickner, who scrambles around the stumps.
