Mohmaad Siraj sents back both openers back early..15/2.Followed by bowling Ross Taylor.17/3.

By Tea New Zealand was in deep trouble with 38/6.Eventually bowled out for 62 in 29thover. Ashwin 4 n Axar 2.

India didn't enforced follow on,probably keeping in view forthcoming SA tours Hoping to get some on-crease match time for Pujara who opened along with Mayank n Virat himself.

India firmly placed to clinch the series on 3rd day in Mumbai, with very healthy lead of 332 runs.

New Test : New Captains :

Wankhede pitch getting turn from 1st Day,

Shubman wastes missed stumping life , by edging the next one to slip from Ajaz Patel.

80/1 - Shubman 44 - 27.3 overs.

Ajaz in his very next over bowled Pujara 0.

Shocker in the same over Virat lbw on 4th ball. Though it seemed in side edge first , 3rd Umpire didn't had conclusive evidence, to overturn ground Umpire's decision as out.

Suddenly India 80/3 - 30 Overs.In walks local boy Shreyas Iyer. Mayank charges to Ajaz and India gets to 100 in 33 overs. Mayank reached 50 by Tea -  India 111/3 - 37 overs .Mayank 52*, Shreyas 7*.Partnership developed , India got to 150 in 47 overs, Mayank in 80s. But Ajaz removed Shreyas on 18. 160/4.
