IND v NZ, Day 3: New Zealand One Down After India Declare, Score 13/1

India's domination continued in the 2nd session of day 3 as they declare at 276/7 and set New Zealand a target 540 runs to win the 2nd test match at Mumbai. 

Resuming the session at 142/2, Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill continued to bat solidly as they added 82 runs for the third wicket. Gill was the aggressor among the two and scored 47 from 75 balls before Rachin Ravindra got him out. 

Shreyas Iyer struck two sixes right after coming to the crease but Ajaz Patel got him out stump soon. In the next over, a well-set Kohli chopped one onto the stumps as India lost half their side at the score of 217. Wriddhiman Saha got out soon trying to hit a lofted hit, hinting at a possible declaration in the next few overs. 

Axar Patel smashed 41 off 26 balls with the help of three fours and four sixes as India declared at 276/7. 

In reply, R Ashwin removed Tom Latham just before Tea with New Zealand's score reading 13/1.
