India A have ticked off 32 out of the 78 needed, still trailing by 46 runs with a full day's play remaining in the match. They will certainly be pleased to see both openers hang in there and weather the storm to close out the day. The major highlight today has to be New Zealand's stubborn lower order, who simply refused to budge and racked up 103 runs between the last three wickets while eating up nearly 38 overs. The India bowlers simply had no answers. With no swing on offer, and zero assistance off the pitch or through the air for the spinners, the hosts completely capitalized on the flat conditions and ground the visitors into the dirt. Mukesh finished with five wickets and Siraj snatched four, but make no mistake, they were forced to bowl their hearts out to earn every single one of them. That is it from us for now. This is Thilak Ram signing off on behalf of S Sudarshanan and Sudeep Poojar. Night.

Randell to Jaiswal, no run, gone? No. Saw Jaiswal walking down to fend, Randell drags his length back a bit which shapes in and straightens. Batter on the move was squared up altogether and the cordon goes up in unison. Not out called and that's stumps on Day 3

Last ball of the day
