- Welcome back for the final session of the second day of this third Test!

Ravichandran Ashwin to start proceedings with the ball. Here we go...
- ... DAY 2, SESSION 3 ...
- Ajaz Patel finally found his rhythm after Lunch and showed why he loves bowling at Wankhede. He picked the Indian batters one by one and ended up with an excellent five-wicket haul. Glenn Phillips also chipped in with one and from a position where they thought they would concede a big lead, they did well to keep it under 30 runs. The pitch did start to help the spinners a lot more making batting really difficult. The fightback from the Kiwis has made this game effectively a shootout of whoever bats well in their second innings takes the game. They lost Tom Latham early, but Devon Conway and Will Young steadied the ship and ended the session trailing by just 2 runs. They will want to continue the good work and extend the partnership while the hosts will hope that they can exploit the conditions in the next session and pick up a few more wickets. Join us in about 20 minutes or so to see how the final session unfolds.
- SESSION SUMMARY - 95 runs and 6 wickets in 25.4 overs! Another exciting session in this Test and the game still hangs in the balance! India were well placed coming into this session but once again suffered a bit of a collapse which we have seen happen in recent times. From 203/5, they were reduced to 227/8 and their chances of getting a big lead evaporated quickly. Shubman Gill played well for his 90 but missed out on a ton. The lower middle order couldn't do much but a quick-fire 38 off 36 balls from Washington Sundar pushed India's lead to 28 runs before they got bowled out. The momentum continued with the ball as well with Akash Deep producing a beauty to get rid of the Kiwi skipper in the very first over.
- 8.60Ravindra Jadeja to Will Young, A huge confident appeal for LBW but 'No' says the umpire. Rohit Sharma does not opt for a review. Pitches it on a good length, just outside off on the fourth stump line. It lands and skids through quickly off the surface and leaves the batter. Will Young rocks back and leaves it but the ball pings the back pad. The replays show that the impact could have been well outside off. And with that, it will be TEA ON DAY 2!
- 8.50Ravindra Jadeja to Will Young, Two slips in place now. Bowls it on a flatter trajectory, just around off, spins away. Will Young leans on to defend and gets beaten all ends up on the outside edge.
- 8.40Ravindra Jadeja to Will Young, Jadeja drags his length back, outside off, it holds a bit on the surface and turns away. Will Young opts out of the cut shot.
- 8.30Ravindra Jadeja to Will Young, Full and pitched on middle, defended alertly by Young on the front foot.
- 8.21Ravindra Jadeja to Devon Conway, Flat and darted on the middle and leg, Devon Conway steps ahead and drills it down to long on for an easy single.
- 8.11Ravindra Jadeja to Will Young, Ravindra Jadeja replaces Ravichandran Ashwin. Bowls fuller and on the middle and leg, Will Young paddles it behind square for a single.
- END OF OVER 8 | 5 Runs & 0 Wkt | NZ 24/1
- 7.60Ravichandran Ashwin to Devon Conway, Full, tossed up on off, blocked off well.
- 7.54Ravichandran Ashwin to Devon Conway, FOUR! Played it very fine! Drifting a bit too much on the pads, full in length, Devon Conway simply tickles it to deep fine for a boundary. No chance for Siraj to cut the ball off before the ropes. He puts in a dive to his left but the ball wins the race.
- 7.40Ravichandran Ashwin to Devon Conway, Floats it up, full and on the stumps, pushed back to the bowler.
- 7.30Ravichandran Ashwin to Devon Conway, Nice and full, tossed up, on middle, defended solidly by Conway.
- 7.21Ravichandran Ashwin to Will Young, Tossed up, outside off, Will Young strides across on this fuller-length delivery and eases it in front of covers for a quick single. Ravichandran Ashwin chases the ball to his left and keeps it to one.
- 7.10Ravichandran Ashwin to Will Young, Floated fuller and on off, Will Young sweeps it to square leg where Ravindra Jadeja is stationed yards inside the fence and just outside the inner ring.
- END OF OVER 7 | 1 Runs & 0 Wkt | NZ 19/1
