by time news
New Zealand were bowled out for 325 in the first innings of the Mumbai Test by Ajaz Patel for 10. New Zealand were trailing by eight wickets for 60 runs. They are 270 runs behind India’s first innings score and need 66 more runs to avoid a follow-on.

When Ajaz became a lone soldier in the New Zealand line-up, India’s response was a collective attack. The New Zealand batsmen were struggling to cope with the onslaught of Indian bowlers.

It was Siraj’s performance that took the Kiwis to the brink of collapse as they chased down the Indian score. Siraj stunned New Zealand by dismissing Tom Latham (10), Will Young (4) and Ross Taylor (1). Siraj’s start was seen as being taken over by other Indian bowlers. It was Ashwin’s turn after Siraj. Ashwin, who took one wicket in the first innings, took two wickets in the next over to keep the Kiwis at bay. India have taken eight Kiwis wickets so far. Ashwin and Siraj took six wickets each while Akshar Patel and Jayant Yadav took two more wickets.
