India vs New Zealand 3rd Test Day 3 LIVE Updates: Ajaz Patel and William O’Rourke have resumed the proceedings for New Zealand on Day 3 of the third Test against India. On the other hand, the Indian bowlers aim to bundle out the Kiwis at the earliest, in order to get a small target to chase. The second innings saw a return to form for Ravichandran Ashwin, who picked up three wickets, alongside Ravindra Jadeja’s four. In fact, Jadeja is one wicket away from completing a 10-wicket haul for the match. India are desperate for a win in order to avoid the embarrassment of a 3-0 series whitewash. However, with the Wankhede pitch turning square and two good spinners in New Zealand’s disposal in the form of Ajaz Patel and Ish Sodhi, India will have their work cut out. (LIVE SCORECARD)

    IND vs NZ, 3rd Test Day 3 Live: Pitch report

    “This pitch has produced a lot of wickets, simply because of the abrasive nature of how this pitch has been in the top layer. There’s a lot of dryness hence there’s been a lot of turn, the odd one going straight but it’s been consistent turn and that’s the Mumbai pitch where there’s consistent turn and a lot of bounce. If you were a bowler, you’d agree you could bowl from any of the ends and I feel there’s enough happening in both the ends. But if I had to suggest, I’d say the commentary box end has produced a lot more wickets for the spinners. But that doesn’t mean from the pavilion end, not too much is happening. Probably not as abrasive as this side because there’s a little more rough in front of the batter.”

    IND vs NZ, 3rd Test Day 3 Live: Impressive spin duo of Ashwin-Jadeja

    Exploiting the spin-friendly conditions, Ravindra Jadeja and R Ashwin chiselled through the New Zealand batting line-up to bring India to a stage from where they can force a face-saving victory in the third Test which is now headed for an intriguing finish. Ashwin (3/63) found his rhythm while Jadeja (4/52) added four more dismissals after his 5/65 in the first essay to keep India’s hopes alive to avert a clean sweep at home for the first time.

    New Zealand ended day two at 171 for nine with an overall lead of 143, which might look small but even a target in the vicinity of 150 will pose serious challenge for the Indian batters, considering the fast deteriorating Wankhede track.
