Reuters, WELLINGTONAn ill Tim Southee and a superb debut from Kyle Jamieson yesterday helped New Zealand to a tense 22-run victory over India in their second one-day international (ODI) at Eden Park in Auckland, clinching the three-match series with a game to spare. New Zealand had scored 273-8 in their innings, with Ross Taylor following up his century in the first match in Hamilton with 73 not out. Taylor combined with debutant bowler Jamieson (25 not out) in an unbroken 76-run ninth wicket partnership to give their team a respectable target. The left-hander fell for 100 in the penultimate over before tea — his third Test hundred and second successive — as Pakistan reached 206-3 after two commanding sessions of batting. Masood — who was finally bowled out by Islam — reached his hundred by hooking pacer Rubel Hossain for his 12th boundary.
