2nd Test: India Set Target Of 359 Runs To Win After Bowling Out NZ For 255
New Zealand: India have been set a target of 359 runs to win the second Test after bowling out New Zealand 255 in 69.4 overs of their second innings in first hour of day three’s play at the MCA Stadium on Saturday.
Resuming with a lead of 301 runs, New Zealand added 57 runs before seeing their innings come to a swift end. Ravindra Jadeja, who didn’t pick any wickets on two days, got three wickets in quick time before Ravichandran Ashwin took another scalp and a run-out meant India did its job well of ending New Zealand’s innings.
The big challenge for India will now be to chase down 359, as the only instance of them chasing down a steeper target to win a Test at home was 387 against England at Chennai in 2008.
