NZ 198/5 (53 ov, Glenn Phillips 9*, Tom Blundell 30*, Ravichandran Ashwin 1/64, NZ vs IND live score, 2nd Test, day 3, Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune, October 24

4.38pm What a day for New Zealand this. They first took a decent 103-run lead on a pitch full of turn and bounce, and have then stretched that lead to 301 at the end of day two. The Test is moving at breakneck speed, and it won’t be surprising we could have a result as early as tomorrow. Latham played a captain’s knock in the third innings, scoring a vital 86. Tom Blundell has also looked solid during his 30. The pitch did show signs of slowing down, but there is still plenty of assistance for the spinners. Washington was again among the wickets, picking 4 for 56 while Ashwin got a wicket. NZ will want to stretch this lead to as much as possible on the third day. India, well, they already have a mountain to climb.
