New Zealand gave India a target of 359 runs, Team India got off to a good start

sports deskThe second Test being played between India and New Zealand has reached an exciting turn.

On the third day, New Zealand was reduced to 255 runs.

Now India has got a target of 359 runs to win the match.

Meanwhile, thanks to Yashasvi Jaiswal’s unbeaten inning of 46 runs, India has scored 81 runs for one wicket in 12 overs while chasing the target of 359 runs till lunch on the third day.

Captain Rohit Sharma was out after scoring 8 runs.

He was caught by Mitchell Santner at the hands of Will Young.

Now the expectations of the Indian team will be very high from Jaiswal because if he plays big innings then this target can be easy for the team.

Jaiswal (Yashasvi Jaiswal) made an exciting start by hitting a six and a four against Tim Southee in the first over itself.

India would like Jaiswal and Gill to keep the pressure on the Kiwi bowlers for a long time because India still needs 278 runs to register a win and save the series.

At present, Yashasvi Jaiswal is unbeaten on 46 runs and Shubhman Gill is unbeaten on 22 runs.

Earlier, the New Zealand team could add only 57 runs to yesterday’s lead of 301 runs and were out for 255 runs after losing their last five wickets in the first hour of the third day.

The New Zealand team scored 255 runs in the fourth innings, thanks to the contribution of 86 runs by captain Tom Latham.

Wicketkeeper Tom Blundell scored 41 runs on 83 balls and Glenn Phillips also scored 48 runs on 82 balls on a pitch favorable for spinners.

The spinners were also impressive in this innings and Washington Sundar, who took 7 wickets in the first innings, took 4 wickets this time too.

Apart from this, Ravindra Jadeja took three wickets and Ravichandran Ashwin took 2 wickets.
