Live updates of the fourth One-Day International between the Black Caps and India, from Mt Maunganui’s Bay Oval.

After being made to wait to become the Black Caps’ all-format spearhead, the 34-year-old has more than made up for lost time and is now one of the best all-format fast bowlers in the game.

Years of being stuck on the sidelines behind New Zealand’s golden generation have fuelled Henry’s desire to wear the silver fern – much to the chagrin of top-order batters worldwide.

His ability to move the ball through the air and off the pitch, in tandem with unrelenting accuracy, has led to Henry taking nearly 400 wickets across all three formats, including more than 150 each in tests and one-day internationals.

But with his 35th birthday on the horizon, and an unrelenting schedule for club and country, Henry would be forgiven for planning for his final days as a Black Cap.

And yet, after finishing on the wrong side of New Zealand’s World Cup heartbreaks in 2015 and 2019, the 2026 T20 World Cup hammering, being injured for the 2025 Champions Trophy final defeat, and running the drinks in the 2021 World Test Championship win, he makes no bones of what’s fuelling him.

“There’s always short-term goals, medium and then long-term,” Henry told the Herald. “For me, I want to win a World Cup for New Zealand, it’s still a burning desire.

“Being involved in a few World Cups now – and getting very close a few times – it’s one that’s still a big driving factor.

“Then there’s the World Test Championship. Playing test cricket for New Zealand is so special, growing up as a Kiwi, that’s your dream isn’t it?
