Ravindra comes back into the attack. He strikes first ball with the big wicket of Kohli, who drags it back on to his stumps to be bowled for 36.

Things happening quickly after lunch. While India have pushed on the scoring rate, the Kiwis are chipping away at the wickets.

Axar Patel, who hit a fifty in the first innings, defends the first few balls cautiously before Ravindra gets one to spit off the rough but it goes down the leg side for four byes.

Saha on the lookout for runs. He sweeps Ajaz for two runs through square leg and then comes down the track for the inside out lofted shot, but gets a thick outside edge which falls safely for two more runs.

Axar allows to ball come into him as he clips Ravindra for a single behind square to get off the mark.

Saha slog sweeps the spinner over midwicket for a four as he continues to be positive.

Axar looks in good touch as he drives Ajaz through the covers for a couple of runs.

He comes down the track and lofts the spinner over long-on for a six to take India's lead past 500.

Saha perishes in the search for quick runs. He gives Ravindra the charge and looks to loft the spinner down the ground but is caught by the tall Jamieson at long-on for 13.

Jayant Yadav walks in ahead of Ravichandran Ashwin as the Indian camp looks all set for the declaration.

Maybe another couple of overs or they will wait for a wicket to fall. Axar pulls Ravindra through square leg for a four before he uses his feet to loft the spinner back over his head for a six.

Two balls later he smashes a full wide delivery over long-off for the second six of the over, as Ravindra concedes 16 runs.
