I missed the first session.

I see as play resumes after lunch NZ 61/4 after 27 overs... not a great performance

I see NZ are already all out and India are batting now in their first innings

NZ: 192 (for 10 wickets in 52.5 overs)


India: 42/1 (after 15 overs)

Drinks break now. There is about an hour's play still to come today

India 342/6 (90 overs)

Some checking of the ball... it is second new ball... relaced after 80 overs... so now only 10 overs old. Some balls do get damaged or go out of shape. Seems Umpires happy with this one.

Late in the day... India bowled out for 438. A considerable lead over NZ's 192.

And NZ have to begin their second innings with less than an hour to survive. Not likely to score many runs and a loss of one or two players out would leave them to come back tomorrow and start all over again with ball nearly new and bowlers rested...

India 438 for all 10 wickets (102.4 overs)

India have a 1st innings lead of 246

End Of Day: BLACKCAPS - 252/5 in 99.0 overs



They have cleared the 246 run first innings deficit and now lead India by 6 runs.

With two days left to play, NZ need to build on that total and set India a target.
