Washington Sundar takes an excellent running catch in the deep

Yashasvi Jaiswal has galloped to 46* off just 36 deliveries as India started on a positive note in pursuit of the astronomical target of 359 on the third morning of the second Test against New Zealand in Pune. The magnitude of the task at hand hasnโ€™t weighed down Jaiswal who smashed the second ball of the Indian innings for six against Tim Southee to make an emphatic statement. Much like Indiaโ€™s second innings display in Bengaluru, the intent has once again been extremely proactive from the hosts who did, however, lose skipper Rohit Sharma cheaply.

Earlier in the morning, India skittled out the last five New Zealand wickets for just 57 runs. Ravindra Jadeja castled Tom Blundell with a skiddy arm-ball, triggering the slide. Mitchell Santner holed out in the deep against Jadeja while Tim Southee edged one to first slip as wickets started to tumble thick and fast. Ajaz Patel also miscued a loft to the deep as India kept hammering away. Glenn Phillips played his shots from the other end but ran out of partners with no.11 William ORourke being run out at the non-strikerโ€™s end.
