Looks like a nice track, it&#39;s pretty hard, nice grass cover, the weather might have a say in the second innings, but toss isn&#39;t in our control. Just put a clinical performance, carry forward the momentum and grab the chances that comes.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Meanwhile, Kiwi skipper Williamson said: &quot;Hopefully, we will get something from the new surface. Need to follow our plans, we are playing a strong side, a new ground, a new surface, do the job with the ball.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>India currently lead the series 2-0<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Playing XI:<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>India: Rohit Sharma, Lokesh Rahul (wicket-keeper), Virat Kohli (Captain), Shreyas Iyer, Manish Pandey, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Shami, Yuzvendra Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>New Zealand: Martin Guptill, Colin Munro, Kane Williamson (Captain), Colin de Grandhomme, Ross Taylor, Tim Seifert (wicket-keeper), Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee, Scott Kuggeleijn, Ish Sodhi, Hamish Bennett.<\/p>\r\n",
