Ajaz continues to bowl from one end, with the other two spinners not even getting a look-in on Day 3 so far.

Gill was off to a shaky start but he is looking a lot more confident against Ajaz now. He keeps out the first four balls before driving the spinner down to long-off for one and and Kohli flicks the last ball for another single.

Gill, though, has struggled against the short ball and has got himself into some awkward positions.

Jamieson from round the wicket bowls a few short balls to Kohli, who pulls it to square leg before he is beaten trying to hit it out of the park.

Kohli gets the pull shot right, hitting it to fine leg for one and Gill keeps out the last two short balls.

This time though there seems to be a clear inside edge as New Zealand lose their review.

Ajaz gets the ball to kick off length and turn sharply as Kohli coming forward to defend is beaten all ends up and even the wicketkeeper struggles to collect it.

The next ball is slightly short as Kohli whips it through midwicket for three runs as India's lead goes past 400.
