India vs New Zealand 2nd Test Day 3 LIVE: Hello and welcome to our coverage of Day 3 of the second Test between India and New Zealand taking place at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium on Saturday.
Team India are well behind in this contest and would need to put up a fine bowling performance to ensure that New Zealand don’t run away with an insurmountable lead in the second game.
The Indian spin-attack will be expected to do most of the bowling and hopefully clear out the Kiwi batters fairly quickly. However, the job does not end there. The batters as well would have to find out a way to tackle the spinning conditions and chase down whatever the target is, should they keep themselves alive in this series.
