IND Vs NZ, 3rd Test Day 2: Jadeja, Ashwin Put India In Pole Position At Stumps

Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin were back to their very best, spinning a web around the New Zealand batters as they reduced the visitors to 171 for the loss of nine wickets at the end of the day's play on the second day of the third and final Test at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Earlier in the day, left-arm-spinner Ajaz Patel picked up five wickets to help dismiss India for 263 in their first innings. Shubman Gill top-scored with a 146-ball 90 while Washington Sundar made 38, helping India take a slender 28-run first innings lead.
