Resuming with a lead of 301 runs, New Zealand added 57 runs before seeing their innings come to a swift end. Ravindra Jadeja, who didn\u2019t pick any wickets on two days, got three wickets in quick time before Ravichandran Ashwin took another scalp and a run-out meant India did its job well of ending New Zealand\u2019s innings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The big challenge for India will now be to chase down 359, as the only instance of them chasing down a steeper target to win a Test at home was 387 against England at Chennai in 2008.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Day three\u2019s morning session began with Glenn Phillips taking three boundaries off Ashwin, before Jadeja finally got his first scalp of the match by getting a straight ball to sneak through the gate of Tom Blundell and castle him for 41.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Jadeja then had Mitchell Santner holing out to long-on, before Ashwin had Tim Southee edging to slip. Shortly after, Ajaz Patel holed out in the deep to become Jadeja\u2019s third scalp and despite two sixes from Phillips, William O'Rourke got a little complacent while completing the second run and Jadeja quickly dislodged the bails to catch him short of crease at the bowler\u2019s end to bring New Zealand\u2019s innings to a close.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
