3rd Test: Gill, Pant Hit Fifties; Patel Claims 5-103 As India Take 28-run Lead
But New Zealand: Contrasting half-centuries by Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant propped up India but a five-wicket haul by Ajaz Patel prevented the hosts from taking a big lead on the second day of the third and final Test of the 2024 series at the Wankhede Stadium.
Gill scored a patient 90 while Pant hammered a run-a-ball 60 as they put India on course for a big lead. But New Zealand bowlers kept chipping in with wickets as India slumped from 180/4 before lunch to 263 all out in 59.4 overs, taking a 28-run lead. Washington Sundar, with 36-ball 38 not out the next best scorer for India in an innings looked in cruise mode before crumbling again as six wickets fell for 83 runs.
On a patch with variable bounce, Ajaz Patel weathered an early assault from Gill and Pant to claim 5-103 at the venue where he made history by grabbing all 10 wickets in an innings.
