In latest news from the India vs New Zealand 3rd test being played at Nagpur, India have successfully given the kiwi’s a huge lead of more than 350 runs. The highlight of the first innings was Rahul Dravid who missed his double century by nine runs and also M.S. Dhoni who stumbled to complete a century by only two runs as he got out on 98 runs.

Dravid added a massive 191 runs to India’s first inning total, and after having lost eight wickets, the team had a score of the 566/8. Dhoni later declared the innings and put the New Zealanders to bat with only 13 overs to spare, but still India managed to pluck one wicket.

T. McIntosh lost his wicket to Harbhajan Singh who got him lbw, and for a moment it looked as India were really up to something. New Zealand will be taking the pitch on the fourth day, and they have a huge total in their sight to cover up before the end of the test. The kiwi batsmen will need to be very firm on the fourth day as it is the most important day that will be deciding the fate of the match.

The 3rd test match of India Vs New Zealand is taking place in Nagpur, and India in its first innings has passed the 200 runs lead mark. Rahul Dravid and M.S. Dhoni are standing firm on the pitch and playing quite impressively against the Kiwi bowlers. Dravid has once again proved that he is the great wall of India, as he scored a fine century when India needed it the most.

The lead which is India is proving New Zealand seems to be very comfortable, and New Zealand on the other hand would need to work twice as hard to give India a suitable target, if they are looking to grab this match.

During the commencement of the third day, New Zealand plucked three quick wickets in the span of only 32 runs, which also included Sachin Tendulkar, who once again failed to march to his century. Rahul took the field and he finally stabilized the batting line when he was joined by the Indian captain MS Dhoni, who together have managed put India on the comfort zone.

India vs New Zealand 3rd Test which is being played in Nagpur, was on the verge of being washed out, but thanks to the next day’s bright sun everyone’s hope just sort of revived. After the toss the Kiwis have decided to bat first on a wet and soggy field. There were good rains the day before the commencement of the third test, as a result the start of the match was delayed by more than two hours.

Both the test teams have made a change in the bowling department, on New Zealand’s bench we have Andy McKay making his debut here at the Nagpur test and India had to force Zaheer Khan out of the team line up after he sustained a strain injury, as a result Ishant Sharma has taken his place.

India is set to take on New Zealand with a four bowler combination squad, but after the toss Dhoni was quite disappointed, as the pitch would be of no help to the spinners, and India has a spearhead attack from the spinners department. After looking at the condition of the field the question here is very imminent, that why dont the grounds men cover the entire field as the Sri Lankans do. For this will actually help a lot in conditions as such.
