India were in the driver’s seat on the third day of the Bangalore Test. The last ball of the day tied the problem. Along with that, the thrill of the test was added. On the last ball of the day, Kohli was dismissed for 70 runs by Glenn Phillips. Just as this upset broke India’s resolve a little, it gave New Zealand confidence for the fourth day.
His 136-run partnership with Sarfraz broke through Kohli’s dismissal on the third day. Batting in the second innings from 356 behind, India ended the third day with 231 for 3. Still trailing by 125 runs.
But India had a great start to the third day. They quickly wrapped up New Zealand by picking up 4 wickets. New Zealand got a lead of 356 runs in the first innings thanks to the batting of Rachin Ravindra and Tim Southee.
India got off to a good start in the second innings. Scored 72 runs without a wicket. Jaiswal was dismissed for 35 runs but the pair broke. Then Rohit also returned with 52 runs. Next is the story of Kohli and Sarfraz. In the counter-attack, the two made a century pair. Both get fifty. Even though Kohli is out, Sarfraz is unbeaten on 70 runs.
Earlier, Rachin was credited with scoring big runs in New Zealand’s innings. He painted the day in centuries. This is the first century by a New Zealand batsman in Tests on Indian soil since 2012. Ross Taylor scored the last century. Southee played an innings of 65 runs with Racine.
