India vs New Zealand 3rd test lead at 233 Runs

That's the end of Day 2 and it's safe to say that it has been all India. After being bowled out early for 379, they made good inroads into the Kiwi batting lineup with Zaheer leading the charge to bowl them out for a paltry 197. Harbhajan picked up 3 good wickets as well. After grabbing a healthy lead of 182, India came out and negotiated 16 overs and made 51 runs with the loss of Virender Sehwag's wicket who succumbed to a peach of a delivery from Chris Martin. Gambhir and Dravid are looking solid out there and with three whole days to go, India will be looking at a big target to set for the hosts. The lead at the moment is 233. New Zealand will have to bowl out of their socks to get India out cheaply tomorrow and obtain a chaseable target. The visitors will be extremely satisfied and supremely confident of winning this game and the series 2-0. Do join us tomorrow for the third day's play.
