- New Zealand batsmen fail again
The New Zealand batsmen fail to contribute with the bat. Martin Guptill scored 13 while Nicholls, Latham were dismissed for 1 each. Taylor and Ronchi were the only batsmen to score some runs before being dismissed. With Watling, the only recognized batsmen left for New Zealand it leaves a huge ask for other batsmen to contribute and come near to India’s total of 316. The pitch has some uneven bounce which will be tough for New Zealand batsmen in the fourth innings.
