Stumps, Day 3!
Another day that belongs to India. India gave a 540-run target to New Zealand after bowling for over half a day. Ashwin and Axar then took over and sent back half of NZ side back to the hut.
India would like to take remaining wickets tomorrow early and finish the job.

OUT!
Axar Patel removes Daryl Mitchell for sixty. NZ are in all sorts of trouble here. It seems they will be able to play till the stumps but NZ would have liked it if Mitchell was still there.
NZ 129/4

Huge task for NZ!
Ashwin has removed captain Tom Latham for just 6. Surely, Ashwin is going to bowl for a long time from one end. India on top. Mere desh ki dharti being sung in the stands as India look to pick another wicket.
