India vs New Zealand Highlights, 3rd Test: New Zealand end Day 2 at 171/9 in second innings, lead by 143 runs

Edge & Gone! Oh No! Shubman Gill misses a well-deserved century. Ajaz Patel gets his fourth wicket of the innings, finding the outside edge off Gill's bat. Daryl Mitchell with another catch at slip. Gill departed for 90, off 146 balls, which included a six and seven fours. India are still trailing by 8 runs.

Shubman Gill (87*) ends Ajaz Patel over with a four towards fine leg. Nine runs came off it. Boundaries coming fast for India since the two wickets in quick succession.

BOOM! Washington Sundar opens his account with a first-ball four. Sundar uses reverse sweep to score the boundary off Ajaz Patel.

Two in two overs for New Zealand. Sarfaraz Khan departs for a four-ball duck. Ajaz Patel gets it to drift in and then ball grips off the surface. Sarfaraz prods defensively and the ball bushes his glove before going into the gloves of the wicket-keeper. Two quick wickets after lunch and India are still trailing by 31 runs.

Edged and gone! Breakthrough soon after the restart for New Zealand. Glenn Phillips gets his first of the day. Ravindra Jadeja is out caught by Daryl Mitchell at first slip. A flighted ball around off that spins a bit from Phillips, and Jadeja lunges forward to block but the ball finds the outside edge. Jadeja scored 14, off 25 balls, and added 23 runs for the sixth wicket with Shubman Gill.

India reached 200 in a dramatic single. A mix-up in the middle but luckily both survive. Gill defends with soft hands and the inside edge goes wide of short leg. Jadeja started and stopped, both the batsmen halted for a second or two but eventually went for the single in the end.

Shubman Gill (70*) and Ravindra Jadeja (10*) in the middle to start the proceedings post-lunch. Ajaz Patel with the ball for the Kiwis.

A spidercam malfunction leads to an early lunch on Day 2, just by 3-4 minutes. It was a very good session for India as they added 109 runs, in 24 overs, for the loss of one wicket in the morning session. Rishabh Pant scored a breathtaking 60 off 59 balls as he added a valuable 96 runs for the fifth wicket with Shubman Gill (70 not out). Both India batter - Pant and Gill - got a life each as New Zealand fielders missed two regulation catches during the session. Ish Sodhi gave the Kiwis a massive breakthrough by removing Pant. Ravindra Jadeja came out to bat ahead of Sarfaraz Khan for the hosts as they want left-right combo in the middle. Jadeja (10 not out) and Gill have added 15 runs before the break at Wankhede.

Boundaries have dried up a bit for India after the wicket of Rishabh Pant. The last boundary came 35 balls ago.

Shubman Gill (69*) and Ravindra Jadeja (6*) trying to steady the Indian innings after the fall of Rishabh Pant. They are collecting runs mostly in singles so far.

BIG WICKET! Rishabh Pant takes a review but the outcome is 'umpire's call' as the ball clipped the leg stump in ball tracking. Massive breakthrough for New Zealand. Pant departed after scoring 60 off 59 balls, which included two sixes and eight fours. Pant also added a valuable 96 runs for the fifth wicket with Shubman Gill. India keep the review but lost the batter.

BANG! Rishabh Pant (60*) smashes it through the extra covers for a four off Ish Sodhi. India are closing on to New Zealand's first innings total.

Another chance and Henry missed it. Henry had plenty of time to get under and then let the ball pop out of his grasp. Both Pant and Shubman Gill got a life each so far in the middle, and in both the times the unlucky bowler was Glenn Phillips.

Excellent first hour of play today for India. Rishabh Pant (50*) and Shubman Gill (58*) completed their half-centuries and added 77 runs in the morning in just 14 overs for no loss. The duo also have so far added 79 runs for the fifth wicket for the hosts. India are now just 72 runs behind New Zealand's first innings total of 235.

Rishabh Pant is on fire today, hitting two sixes and seven fours to reach the milestone.

It is Shubman Gill's seventh fifty in Test cricket.

1 4 0 0 0 4 - Rishabh Pant (48* off 34 balls) brings up India's 150 in style, hitting a four off Glenn Phillips. Pant had earlier hit a four too and collected nine runs off it. India are cruising on the second day.

BANG! 4,6 - Rishabh Pant (34*) brings out reverse-sweep to score a four off Ajaz Patel. The boundary also brings up fifty-run partnership for the fifth wicket with Shubman Gill (48*). Pant then dances down to smack the final ball of the over over the bowler's head for a maximum. Back-to-back boundaries for Pant and India.

Lucky break for India! Shubman Gill dances down the track and smashes it hard off Glenn Phillips. But he gets more height than distance as it comes off the outer part of the bat. Chapman runs in from long-on, covers the distance and settles under it but fails to gather it. LUCKY!

BOOM! Rishabh Pant (27*) walks down and smokes Ajaz Patel over long-on for a big six. Pant is gaining confidence in the middle, hitting boundaries at will. A very good sign for India.

WOW! Rishabh Pant (19*) scoops it over fine leg for a four off Ajaz Patel. What a shot.

BOOM! Shubman Gill (36*) dances down the track and plays an inside-out shot to collect a boundary off Ajaz Patel. The boundary also brings up 100 for India. Good, positive start for India.

India got a terrific start on the second day, with Rishabh Pant scoring three boundaries off Ajaz Patel. Pant (13*) hit the over-pitched first delivery straight down the ground, before dancing down to play a similar shot in the next delivery too. A ball later, an outside edge off Pant's bat goes just wide of first slip for the third boundary of the over.

FOUR! Rishabh Pant (5*) starts with a straight drive down the ground for a four off Ajaz Patel.

India 90/4 in 19.1 overs

"It was an eventful first day with 14 wickets falling. You've got to understand the pitch, it's drier than the usual Mumbai pitch, normally the pitch looks a lot more redder, but this one is very dry. There was some residual moisture on top and it looked like it had bound the surface, well, but looking into the footmarks, it gives a good idea about the soil. There's not a lot of grass coverage, the top layer is soft and that's the reason some balls are keeping low. The dryness is something not associated with the Wankhede and that's the reason 14 wickets fell yesterday. Trust your defence as a batter, the ball turning a lot will always beat the outside edge, the ones spinning back and keeping low is the one that'll trouble the batters the most." - Murli Kartik and Dinesh Karthik

At around 4:45 pm, India had 78 runs on the board for the loss of just one wicket against New Zealand and were in cruise control mode with the close of play approaching.

Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill had raised a 53-run partnership with India closing in on taking the opening day honours after folding the visitors to a below-par 235.

But then, the fans at the Wankhede witnessed something dreadful and unfortunate as India, out of nowhere, suffered yet another collapse, losing three wickets in just 8 balls, leaving everyone absolutely stunned.

Committing a harakiri late on the opening day, India ceded the advantage, finishing at 86 for four and another 149 runs adrift of New Zealand's first innings score.

Whenever New Zealand have pinned India down in this series, they have made sure to capitalize on the advantage. After India collapsed from 78/1 to 86/4, the stunned faces in the Indian dressing room, and in the stands, summed up the day.

Daryl Mitchell, who top scored for the Black Caps with a fine 82, felt the team's collective effort and ability to hang on when the chips were down — read when Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill were piling on the runs — ensured that they ended the day with their noses ahead.

This was no brain fade. It was a brain explosion. In eight balls, Team India treated its fans to a horror show just a day after Halloween. With just around 10 minutes to go before stumps, Yashasvi Jaiswal, looking his free-flowing self while having scored 30 (52b, 4x4) in a 53-run second wicket partnership off 64 balls with Shubman Gill (31 batting, 38b, 2x4, 1x6), chose to reverse sweep an Ajaz Patel ball that had pitched on the leg stump. The ball crashed into his leg and middle stump. 78 for one in 17. 2 overs suddenly became 78 for two.

If that wasn’t silly enough, India, instead of sending one of their three allrounders, asked tailender Mohammed Siraj to do the job of a nightwatchman. He was out LBW for a golden duck to Patel, giving the Kiwi left-arm spinner the chance to bag a hattrick. Then, Siraj burnt a review too, despite being plumb in front. 78 for three in 17.3.

The worst was to come. Even as Virat Kohli staved off the hat-trick, he played his part in India’s final implosion in that little period under lights, which marred India’s Day One outing against New Zealand in the third and final Test at the Wankhede completely. Driving a ball to mid-on, Kohli (4) took off for a non-existent single as Matt Henry fired a direct throw to the stumps. 84 for four in 18.3 overs.

India legendary spinner Anil Kumble opened up on Virat Kohli's dismissal and called it "suicidal" after end of play on Day 1 of the the third and final Test of the series at the Wankhade Stadium on Friday.

India will begin Day 2 with Shubman Gill (31*) and Rishabh Pant (1*) at the crease as the hosts work to close the 149-run deficit.

"You can't have this repeatedly happening in every game, so it's more than a concern at the moment. You had an opportunity to get inside with just one wicket down of Rohit Sharma. And then yes, Jaiswal gets out and the night watchman comes in and gets out first ball, then this (Kohli run-out)," said Kumble while talking on Jio Cinema after end of play on Day 1.

"Nobody expected the run-out. This was certainly not something that you expect of Virat Kohli getting run out in the last over or last few minutes of a day's play. And it was something that he just hit the shot and then went straight for a run, which is suicidal," the former cricketer added.

New Zealand, who crumbled from 159 for three to 235 all out predominantly against Jadeja, did deserve credit for braving the conditions which had their highest scorer in the innings, Mitchell, really struggling in the middle.

The burly batting all-rounder consumed liquids frequently and kept dropping to his haunches and even lay flat on his back as he made a fighting 82 off 129 balls, laced with three fours and as many sixes.

Mitchell felt the heat more than anyone else also because he dealt a lot in singles and doubles until he brought up his maiden fifty of the tour. Each of this three sixes came towards the end.

Like Mitchell, Young too looked set for a century but Jadeja's brilliance ended his knock.

Getting one to turn away against Young's front-foot defence, Jadeja had the ball kissing the shoulder of the bat and Rohit did the rest at first slip, bringing an end to a fine knock in which Young scored 71 off 138 balls with four fours and two sixes.
