PREVIEW
Down 2-0 in the best of five series, the Black Caps enter tonight's match needing nothing but victory to even stay in the series.
Back-to-back defeats at Eden Park have left Kane Williamson's men in a do-or-die situation, heading to Seddon Park with everything to play for.
India meanwhile can take things slightly easier, needing just one win from the next three games to take the series, although don't expect Virat Kohli and his side to switch off any time soon.
These two sides played at the same venue just over a year ago, with New Zealand winning a thriller by four runs.
