NZ 171/9 at Stumps (Lead by 143 Runs) |India vs New Zealand Highlights of 3rd Test 2024 Day 2: Hosts Ahead After 15-Wicket Day at Wankhede

Stumps on Day 2! What a day it has been with New Zealand finishing proceedings with a 143-run lead. India bounced back after a late collapse on the opening day with Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant ensuring that the hosts had a slender 28-run lead as they overhauled New Zealand's 235. The Indians then came back strong with ball in hand with the spin duo of Ravi Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja showing their magic once again. While Ravi Ashwin scalped three wickets, Ravindra Jadeja took four while Akash Deep and Washington Sundar had one apiece. India not only bowled well but also were exceptional on the field, the highlight of it being Ravi Ashwin taking a splendid catch to dismiss Daryl Mitchell. India have the edge in this contest and will hope to end the New Zealand innings as early as possible on Day 3 to win the Test. 

OUT! Ravindra Jadeja has dismissed Matt Henry with the woodwork behind him rattled with a beautiful delivery. New Zealand lead by 143 runs and that'll be stumps on Day 2. Matt Henry b Ravindra Jadeja 10(16) 

OUT! Ravi Ashwin has ended Will Young's fighting knock finally and it is a wonderful caught-and-bowled effort that sees the right-hander depart. New Zealand have lost wickets in a heap and India can sense that they are ahead now. Will Young c and b Ravi Ashwin 51(100)

OUT! Ravindra Jadeja has dismissed Ish Sodhi with Virat Kohli taking a fine catch at cover. India are chipping away at the wickets and would want to wrap this New Zealand innings up in quick time. Ish Sodhi c Virat Kohli b Ravindra Jadeja 8(14)

FIFTY for Will Young! The right-hander has been in good form in the Test and has played well on a difficult track. He stands in India's way of restricting New Zealand to a low total. 

OUT! Ravi Ashwin has dismissed Glenn Phillips with a brilliant delivery! The right-hander was bamboozled by the ball which pitched on leg-stump, went on to spin and rattle the woodwork behind. India and Ashwin are on fire here. Glenn Phillips b Ravi Ashwin 26(14)

OUT! One more for India and Ravindra Jadeja! Tom Blundell has ended up having a bottom edge onto the stumps. India on a roll here! Tom Blundell b Ravindra Jadeja 4(6) 

OUT! Ravindra Jadeja has dismissed Will Young and what a catch this has been! The right-hander skied one and Ravi Ashwin does really well to take the catch and break this partnership. India have struck and would ideally want one or two more wickets today. Daryl Mitchell c Ashwin b Jadeja 21(44)

New Zealand have managed to somewhat steady the ship with Will Young and Daryl Mitchell out in the middle. India would hope to take a few more wickets which will put more pressure on New Zealand. 

Out! Big wicket for India. Ravindra steps out for a big slog across the line and misses it completely. The ball spins past his outside edge and the keeper does well to grab it. First wicket for Ashwin in the match. Rachin Ravindra st Rishabh Pant b Ravi Ashwin 4(3) 

Out! Washington Sundar breaks the partnership. Hint of extra bounce on this ball, Devon Conway is half-forward to defend with hard hands. Thick outside edge and it goes to Shubman Gill who pouches it at the second slip. Devon Conway c Shubman Gill b Washington Sundar 22(47) 

Kiwi batter Will Young and Devon Conway have begun to recover the Kiwis from the early blow. However, there is plenty of help for the spinners in the pitch and the hosts will look to attack and wrap up the Kiwis quickly. 

OUT! First wicket for the Indian team and Akash Deep gets rid of Tom Latham. The Kiwi captain has been castled by the Indian pacer as the ball comes into him and the furniture has been disturbed. Tom Latham b Akash Deep 1 (4)

The Indian team has been wrapped up for a score of 262 runs as Akash Deep has been run out without facing a ball. The hosts have achieved a first innings lead of 27 runs which can prove to be very decisive in the match. 

OUT! Ajaz Patel picks up his sixth five-wicket haul in Asia as he dismisses Ravichandran Ashwin. Another ball spinning away from the batter which takes the edge of the bat and an easy catch once again for Daryl Mitchell. Ravichandran Ashwin c Daryl Mitchell b Ajaz Patel 6 (13) 

The Indian team has secured a first innings for the first time in the IND vs NZ 2024 Test series and they will look forward to increase the number as much as they can and put the pressure back on the Kiwi team. 

OUT! It looks like the Ajaz Patel is all over the Indian team as he continues his dominance in the IND vs NZ 3rd Test 2024. This time Ajaz gets the big wicket of Shubman Gill who gets out after playing a brilliant knock of 90 runs. Shubman Gill c Daryl Mitchell b Ajaz Patel 90 (146)

OUT! Ajaz Patel continues his magic as he dismisses Sarfaraz Khan. The ball turned away from the batter and took an outside edge. Tom Blundell took a brilliant catch and Sarfaraz departs for a duck. Sarfaraz Khan c Tom Blundell b Ajaz Patel 0 (5)

OUT! Ravindra Jadeja has to walk back as Glenn Phillips picks up his first wicket of the match. Jadeja looks to defend the ball but the ball takes the edge of his bat and Daryl Mitchell takes a brilliant catch at slips. Ravindra Jadeja c Daryl Mitchell b Glenn Phillips 14 (25)

The Indian team will look forward to taking control over New Zealand in the IND vs NZ 3rd Test 2024 as Shubman Gill and Ravindra Jadeja are at the crease.
