In the ongoing match between India & New Zealand, the tourists are in a deep state of trouble on Day 3, requiring 461 more runs with the score standing at 79/3. After the openers fell inside the first 15 overs, it was up to senior batter Ross Taylor to steady the innings; who disappointed the Kiwis big time.
Ross Taylor came out to bat when New Zealand were at 45/2 in 14.3 overs, requiring another 445 runs to win the match or bat for 2 and a half more days to save the test match. However, the 37-year-old went for the big shots from ball one.
The first ball he faced, Ashwin almost dismissed him but he was saved by the extra bounce the pitch has been providing. The ball went above wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha and across the boundary for four byes. On his next ball, he went for a full-fledged sweep but missed the ball completely.
