NZ Inns 2: 129-4 (36 ovs); Target: 540 | Scorecard

Mitchell doing well to play with the bat right in front of the pad, when defending against Ashwin.

Ashwin trying all his tricks but Mitchell is quite solid as he plays out a maiden over from the senior spinner.

In the next over, Mitchell uses his feet and lofts Axar back over his head for a six.

However, the bowler gets revenge as Mitchell perishes next delivery attempting to hit another one over the top.

Mitchell fails to get to the pitch of the delivery as he gets it off the bottom of the bat, miscuing it over the off-side and is caught by Jayant.

Mitchell walks back after a good innings of 60 as NZ slip to 128/4, still needing 412 runs for victory.

That is a big breakthrough for India, late on the third day as New Zealand face a tough last 40 minutes before stumps.
