🏏NZ Tour of India 2024: 2nd Test: 24 to 29 Oct 24, Day 3 - Pg 28 🏏 - Page 49

Umpire review for a catch. Sundar blocked this onto short leg, but did he hit it onto his boots or into the ground? Nope, edge off the bat deflecting off the pads towards short leg. Another wicket down!

Phillips to Washington Sundar, out Caught by Will Young!! Once again Glenn Phillips strikes in his first over after returning to bowl. This was a quicker, fuller one onto middle stump, gets just a bit of extra bounce. Sundar gets an inside edge on the block that grazes the pads and flies to the right of short leg. Will Young puts out an instinctive right hand, and then pouches this on second attempt. Smart, smart catch from him, New Zealand closing in on a win here...Washington Sundar c Will Young b Phillips 21(47) [4s-2]

Ravichandran Ashwin, right handed bat, comes to the crease.

14:10 Local Time, 08:40 GMT, 14:10 IST: New Zealand's session here. They have picked six frontline wickets and sit on the cusp of a historic series win here. India lost the wicket of Gill pretty early in the session, as he got a leading edge to slip off a ball that turned square. Jaiswal edged one shortly after as well, and that slowed down the tempo of the game.
