IND vs NZ, 3rd Test: The third Test match between India and New Zealand has turned out to be a nail-biting thriller as both teams give each other massive blows. The Kiwis posted a target of 235 runs during the first innings and while chasing the Men in Blue were able to lead by 28 runs. And then during the second innings, the hosts had a flying start with the ball as they took three quick wickets, which also included that of star batter Devon Conway.

Wankhede Test evenly poised on a tricky pitch

Washington Sundar dismissed Devon Conway on the fifth ball of his first over as Sundar bowled a peachy delivery. Conway tried to defend it, but the ball turned brilliantly and hit the outside edge of his bat, and Shubman Gill, who was standing at second slip, took a stunning catch. Rohit Sharma had set the field brilliantly and the Indian players were seen having a great time both Gill and Sundar roared in delight.

Watch the video here:

Conway scored 22 runs off 44 balls and his dismissal was quite necessary for the hosts as he has performed brilliantly on turning catches and since each run is quite important in a match, where a target of 150-200 runs can be challenging during the fourth innings. Speaking about Shubman Gill and Washington Sundar's performance, both have done brilliantly till now, as Gill was the highest run-scorer till now he scored 90 runs, whereas Sundar took four wickets during the first innings and then scored a gritty knock of 38 runs.
