A couple of singles and a wide help India bring up their 50.

OUT! Shaw c Latham b de Grandhomme 20

I hate to say I told you so, but...

Seventh over - Southee finds the edge of Agarwal's bat, but it rockets through vacant third man for four.

Agarwal cuts the third ball to the rope - an absolute sitter. Ten runs off the over.

Sixth over - Agarwal glances Bennett off his pads for a boundary off the first ball.

Shaw clubs Bennett's fourth ball to the boundary and surely Latham is considering a bowling change.

Fifth over - Southee to continue and beats the outside edge of Agarwal's bat with his first ball.

And again with his second ball.

Latham is loading the offside field, with three slips. Southee takes Agarwal on the pad with is fourth ball and Latham goes to the video umpire for a review.

Replays show the ball would have clipped the top of the stumps, but not enough to overturn the umpire's call. Worth a shout, but NZ keep the review.

Argawal responds by driving through covers for four.

Sodhi has a side-on shot at a runout, but misses by about a metre.

Fourth over - Bennett with his second.

Shaw strokes the ball through the onside for four off the fifth ball and then cuts square for another off the last.

Third over - Southee for his second over.

Agarwal drives straight past the bowler for the first boundary of the innings. Just five off the over.

Second over - Hamish Bennett has first use of the ball at the other end. Agarwal glances the first delivery down legside to open the innings.

Shaw clips the fourth ball through the field for two runs and repeats the shot for a single. Agarwall takes two off the last ball.

First over - India have sent out debutants Agarwal and Shaw to open the innings, two very promising batsmen from their depth of talent.

Southee will take the new ball for New Zealand. Good opening over from the veteran - a maiden.

*****

2:32pm - NZ skipper Tom Latham has won the toss - that's something - and has elected to bowl first.

His line-up will include Tim Southee and Hamish Bennett as his pace-bowling options, Mitch Santner and Ish Sodhi to provide spin, with all-rounders Jimmy Neesham and Colin de Grandhomme also taking the ball at some point.

In the batting line-up, recent test centurion Tom Blundell will bat at No.3.

NZ: Guptill, Nicholl, Blundell, Taylor, Latham, de Grandhomme, Santner, Neesham, Southee, Sohdi, Bennett

Kia ora, good afternoon and welcome to Newshub's live coverage of the first one-day international between the Blackcaps and India at Hamilton's Seddon Park.

New Zealand are reeling from eight consecutive losses across test and T20 formats, and hope a return to their most successful form of the game will snap their freefall.

Remember, the Blackcaps outlasted India over two rain-affected days at the Cricket World Cup last year - their last meeting over 50 overs - but this is a very different team.

Captain Kane Williamson is out for at least the first two games of the three-match series, replaced by Auckland's Mark Chapman, while the NZ bowling attack is operating a makeshift line-up, without front-liners Trent Boult, Matt Henry and Lockie Ferguson.

Coach Gary Stead will also skip the series, taking a mid-summer break from the programme and prompting questions over his future with the team.

The Indian also won't be at full strength, with openers Rohit Sharma and Rohit Sharma both injured out of the tour.

Normally, this ODI series wouldn't much significance, with most focus on a T20 World Cup build-up and world test championship, but the Blackcaps desperately need to change their fortunes, starting today.

New Zealand: Tom Latham (captain), Hamish Bennett, Tom Blundell, Mark Chapman, Colin de Grandhomme, Martin Guptill, Kyle Jamieson, Scott Kuggeleijn, James Neesham, Henry Nicholls, Mitchell Santner, Ish Sodhi, Tim Southee, Ross Taylor

India: Virat Kohli (captain), Maynak Agarwal, Jasprit Bumrah, Yuzvendra Chahal, Shivam Dube, Shubman Gill, Sheyas Iyer, Ravindra Jadeja, Kedar Jadhav, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Manish Pandey, Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul, Navdeep Saini, Prithvi Shaw, Shardul Thakur

Williamson ruled out of opening one-dayers

The Blackcaps have been dealt a significant blow for their upcoming one-day series against India, with captain Kane Williamson ruled out for the first two games.

Williamson has an inflamed shoulder joint, which he suffered while fielding in the third T20 in Hamilton last week and prevented him playing in the final two fixtures.

While he hopes to return for the final ODI next Tuesday, the Blackcaps medical staff are taking a cautious approach to his recovery.

"Kane has had an X-ray scan, which cleared him of anything serious," said team physio Vijay Vallabh. "But it’s best for his recovery that he avoids aggravating the joint for the next few days.

"He will continue his fitness training sessions throughout the week and will start batting again on Friday, with the prospect of being available for game three."

In-form Auckland Aces batsman Mark Chapman has been called into the squad as cover.

The 25-year-old is fresh off two big scores against India 'A' last week, blasting an unbeaten 110 in their limited overs match, followed by 114 in their three-day game.

"It's disappointing for Kane," said selector Gavin Larsen. "But with so much important cricket still ahead this summer, we must take a safety first approach.

"It’s great to welcome Mark back into the one-day unit off the back of consecutive centuries for New Zealand 'A' against a strong India 'A' side.

"Mark’s a versatile player, who can cover multiple batting positions, and his fielding is a real upshot to have in the squad."

Opening batsman Tom Latham will take up the captaincy duties in Williamson's absence.

The Blackcaps will also be without premier paceman Trent Boult - who's still working his way back from a broken right hand. 

He's expected to be available for the test series, which starts in Wellington on February 21, as are fellow bowlers Matt Henry and Lockie Ferguson.
