PremiumIndia vs New Zealand Live Score, 3rd Test Day 2: Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin shared seven wickets together as New Zealand slumped to 171/9 in their second innings on Day 2 of the ongoing third Test in Mumbai. Having taken a 28-run first innings lead, Indian bowlers started aggressively with Akash Deep uprooting Tom Latham's stumps straightaway. The Kiwis were three down for 44 before Will Young and Daryl Mitchell arrested the slide with a 50-run stand for the fourth wicket. However, it was the spin duo of Jadeja and Ashwin as they wrecked havoc into the New Zealand batting line-up to put India in the driver's seat and avoid a series whitewash. With just one wicket to take on Day 3 morning, Indian bowlers would like to wrap things up as quickly as possible before chasing the target with ease. New Zealand are currently leading by 143 runs. Although India have lost the first two Tests, a win in Mumbai would boost Rohit Sharma and Co. before they fly out to Australia for a five-match series in the Border Gavaskar Trophy.
