These games are like dress rehearsals for both teams before the World Cup and India need to win games to take some confidence into the main tournament. They have two more games and a couple more warm-up games to iron out their flaws. New Zealand are riding high on confidence having chased two big scores and will look to improve on their bowling in the final two games of the series. That's all from us. The fourth ODI is on Tuesday. Do join us for that. Until then, goodbye and stay safe..

Sophie Devine | Winning captain: It is something we haven't done for two and half years (winning a series). The challenge is to keep doing it consistently. Their were times when things could have gotten away from us but the way Mackay went in there was outstanding, Kerr and Satterthwaite, you can talk about all the batters. The way they handled it (the chase) and that's where the team has grown, not scared to chase down totals. Still not up to par (with the bowling) but after the start that they got to keep them to under 300 was a really good effort. We have to work on consistency, we have scored 270+ in the last three games and need to keep doing that. I would have liked to have added a few more (runs) for the team's cause but the team kept going and put in a wonderful performance.

Mithali Raj | Losing captain: We didn't get the sort of partnerships we wanted in the middle order but Deepti's knock got us to 280. Every game the batting unit is doing really well, we keep adding 10 runs more, but there are areas we have to improve as a fielding unit. By the end of the series you will see us posting 300.

Lauren Down | Player of the Match - It was good fun, really nice to guide the team home in a record chase. We back our batting order, and weren't feeling a lot of pressure (on the record chase) - the challenge was to rotate strike and make the most of the bad ball. We know they'll come back in the final two games, they're a quality team. Some celebrations tonight and back to the games once again.

18:16 Local Time, 05:16 GMT, 10:46 IST: This is the second highest successful chase in women's history. New Zealand know it and everyone are out there to congratulate the two batters. The chase ebbed and flowed and it was hosts' long batting line-up that came up trumps in the end. Bates and Devine went early to Goswami, but Kerr and Satterthwaite steadied the innings with a 100+ stand. India came back with a few wickets in the middle overs but another 76-run partnership for the seventh wicket between Down and Martin tilted the game in New Zealand's favour, Mackay then came out and applied the finishing touches with Down. India kept fighting back but their fielding let them down as number of catches were put down. Presentations coming up..

Deepti Sharma to Lauren Down, SIX, New Zealand take a 3-0 lead in the series. Down needed just one ball to finish the game. Flighted delivery, Down uses her feet, gets to the pitch of the ball and smokes it straight down the ground, the ball clears just manages to clear the rope

6 off 6. Deepti to bowl and it is a tough ask for an offie to defend run-a-ball. New Zealand have this in the bag and just need to see it out..
