IND vs NZ Live Score, 2nd Test Day 3: Jadeja removes Blundell; New Zealand lead crosses 330; India 156 all out

Four!! Edged again, goes through first and second slip and runs away to the boundary. WICKET!! The arm ball does the trick. Blundell plays for the turn and it crashes into the stumps. 

Blundell b Jadeja 41(83)

Four!! Phillips drives a full one from Ashwin through backward point for a boundary. Steady flow of runs this morning but India is creating chances. 

Jadeja continues. Beats Phillips’ outside edge with one that turns prodigiously. Just a single from the over.

Ashwin continues. Blundell attempts a reverse again and misses. Stifled appeals. Four from the over. 

Jadeja again. Blundell paddles it fine for a couple to fine leg. Two slips and a silly point in place. Five from the over. 

Ashwin from the other end. Four!! Edged and flies past the keeper and slip to the fence for a boundary. Inside edge and just past Sarfaraz’s grasp at short leg. Blundell looks for a reverse sweep, just beats Rohit at slip again. Came off the pads the previous delivery. Four!! Phillips comes down the track and lofts one over mid off for a boundary. 

Jadeja into the attack. Phillips gets an inside edge while looking for an offside drive, trickles onto the leg side for a single. Just a single from the over. 

India in a position of concern, staring at a first series defeat in 12 years. New Zealand has played the strategy to perfection with both bat and ball so far this series. First things first, India will need to bowl them out within a lead of 350 to stand a chance. With batting till number 10, India will be optimistic about chasing the total down. Can India fight back?

India will hope to wrap things up in the first session itself with five wickets to go. Sundar already has four in this innings. Can he take a few more or will the pacers, if handed the ball, take some pressure off the tweakers?
