Jesse Randall scored a brace while captain Chris Wood scored once as New Zealand hammered five goals without reply against India in their first international friendly, here on Thursday.

It extended a poor run for Khalid Jamil as head coach, as the Blue Tigers have now conceded 11 goals while scoring one in their last two matches.

India is scheduled to play another friendly against the All Whites, while the series are the last set of matches for Darren Bazeley as head coach of the host side.
