The hosts will also be disappointed, considering that at one point, they expected to post a bigger target. The collapse began when Sarfaraz Khan fell in the pre-Tea session, departing for 150 off 195 balls, followed by Rishabh Pant narrowly missing out on a ton. Pant registered 99 off 105 balls.
In the final session, India failed to show any intent and had to settle for a 107-run lead. For New Zealand, Matt Henry and Will O’Rourke took three-wicket hauls respectively.
