MOUNT MAUNGANUI, New Zealand (AP) — New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner has finally won a toss and chosen to bowl Sunday in the fifth one-day cricket international against India at Bay Oval.
India's captains Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer have won eight of nine tosses in previous matches in the Twenty20 and one-day international series.
When asked what he planned to do, Santner said “I'm unsure. I didn't expect to win (the toss).”
India captain Iyer said his team is still in “high spirits” after its defeat by 244 runs in the fourth ODI at the same venue Friday. New Zealand bowled out India for 89 in reply to its own 333. India still leads the five match series 2-1 after one match was washed out.
Matt Henry, who took the wickets of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Iyer in his first over Friday and finished with 6-27, has left along with Kyle Jamieson to join the New Zealand squad for the first test which starts at Wellington on Thursday.
Jacob Duffy and Blair Tickner rejoin the New Zealand lineup for Sunday's match, bringing to nine the number of bowlers New Zealand has used in the series.
India has handed an ODI debut to right-arm pacer Yash Thakur while Mohammad Siraj also joins the India lineup.
Lineups:
New Zealand: Will Young, Tim Seifert, Nick Kelly, Dean Foxcroft, Finn Allen, Michael Bracewell, Mitchell Santner (captain), Kristian Clarke, Blair Tickner, Matt Fisher, Jacob Duffy.
India: Rohit Sharma, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer (captain), Ishan Kishan, Naman Dhir, Axar Patel, Auqib Nabi, Mohammed Siraj, Arshdeep Singh, Yash Thakur.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — It may feel like '80s night at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, with the new members including Billy Idol, Phil Collins, Sade, Queen Latifah, New Order, Luther Vandross and Iron Maiden.
But it's hard to say exactly what the vibe will be on Saturday at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, with many of the inductees opting out of performing or appearing, and the Hall of Fame revealing next-to-nothing about the show during the run-up.
After streaming the ceremony live the past few years, the Rock Hall is returning to its previous model, where the public won’t see it until an edited version airs on ABC and Disney+ on Dec. 9.
Here's what we do know about the show:
Oasis, youngest of the inductees, won’t be coming. Guitarist Noel Gallagher is playing a gig back home in Britain, and his little brother, Liam Gallagher, just doesn't want to come.
“It’s too far to be going for the night,” he said in a post on the social platform X. He added in another, “I dont like award ceremonies they freak me out I dont know why I just get weird vibes."
Iron Maiden will be on tour in Australia. Sade is opting to sit it out, too. Collins is likely to appear, but he said he has to decline from playing his songs for health reasons. Key members of New Order, getting a joint induction with their previous incarnation Joy Division, will also be out for health reasons. Vandross died in 2005.
But the show will go on, and hip-hop could be the highlight. Wu-Tang Clan will be inducted along with Queen Latifah and MC Lyte, and all are expected to appear and probably perform.
And Idol, being inducted with his longtime guitarist Steve Stevens, will take the stage ready to rock.
Latifah and Lyte enter the hall as recipients of the Early Influence Award along with posthumous nominees Gram Parsons, Fela Kuti and Celia Cruz.
Parsons, an essential figure at the crossroads of country and rock in the 1960s and '70s, got his own separate tribute Wednesday night at the legendary Troubadour club in West Hollywood, where his duet partner Emmylou Harris along with Rock Hall-of-Famers Elvis Costello and Sheryl Crow sang his songs and saluted his legacy.
Kuti will become the first African-born artist in the hall, and Cruz will become the first member who sang primarily in Spanish.
A group of producers will be inducted via the Musical Excellence Award: Rick Rubin, Linda Creed, Arif Mardin and Jimmy Miller. And TV host Ed Sullivan will get in as the winner of the Ahmet Ertugun award, which goes to nonmusicians who've made rock history.
Many other major stars are likely to appear to induct the new members or to play the absentees' songs in tribute. The past few years, the hall has announced several special guests, though not their roles, the week of the show, but with no live airing this year it has returned to a model of keeping nearly everything secret until it happens.
The show is in Los Angeles for the second straight year, and organizers have said it will be here more often while still rotating to New York and Cleveland, where the actual hall resides.
