Only twice has a higher target been chased in ODIs - both by South Africa against Australia - 435 at the Wanderers, Johannesburg in 2006 and 372 at Kingsmead, Durban in 2016.

Rachin Ravindra - I guess it was the partnerships, Young and Kane helped me get through the ebbs and flows, at times my timing isn't so great, but KW helped me get through that phase. At times, the ball held a bit and the bowlers also bowled good lines and lengths. Hopefully, the ball will continue to hold onto the surface a bit more under lights. He's a classy player (on Kane Williamson), fun to watch him bat from the other end. The pitch held up at times, looked a bit crumbly, so the key will be to bowl into the surface, use the cutters and variations (on the bowling plans).

17:48 Local Time, 12:48 GMT, 18:18 IST: The Kiwis have posted a mammoth total on the board after opting to bat.
