Day 3 of the 2nd Test belonged to India again. The Indian team took complete control as the New Zealand team lost their top order batter Ross Taylor in the 540 run chase. Tom Latham was the first batter who got out scoring just 6 runs. Next on the list was Will Young who made 20 runs. R Ashwin is to be credited for all three wickets. It was the perfect partnership between Henry Nicholls and Daryl Mitchell that gave the New Zealand team a ray of hope. Mitchell also made his 2nd Test century but got dismissed soon. After the 73-run stand, a mix-up between Tom Blundell and Nicholas, made Blundell lose a wicket.
