  • Player of the Match
    Mitchell Santner
Right then, that wraps up a monumental day in New Zealand's cricketing history, a series victory they will hold dear for years to come. For India, the third Test in Mumbai will not only be a fight to regain pride but also a critical chance to collect valuable World Test Championship points to stay competitive in the race. New Zealand, however, have already strengthened their own WTC campaign with this triumph and will be keen to end the tour on a high, eyeing a rare series sweep on Indian soil. The third and final Test will kick off on Friday, November 1, at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The first ball is scheduled for 4 am GMT but you can join us early for all the build-up. Until then, take care and goodbye!
Mitchell Santner is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for taking 13 wickets in the game. He acknowledges that the second innings was particularly challenging, commending India’s fight and Jaiswal’s determined performance. Despite feeling sore after bowling 20 overs, Santner pushed through for his team, finding that each wicket boosted his energy and confidence. He expresses joy in contributing to New Zealand’s historic win in India as a pleasant feeling. Santner also reflects on the importance of maintaining consistency, placing the ball in the right spot, and varying pace to keep the pressure on.
The captain of New Zealand, Tom Latham says that this is a really special feeling and he is proud to be in this position. Feels that this was a clear example of everyone standing up at different times. Shares that in challenging conditions like these, you always want to compete and put the best foot forward. Adds that after the win in Bengaluru, the talk was about staying level and focusing on this game. Says that putting runs on the board in the first innings was important and lauds Mitchell Santner for the way he bowled. Tells that they knew India were going to come out hot but didn't realise they were going to come that hot. Ends by saying that those last two wickets took an age but they were all really happy when Southee took the last catch,
India's captain, Rohit Sharma, expresses disappointment after the team’s loss, admitting it was not the result they anticipated. He credits New Zealand for outplaying India and acknowledges that his side missed key moments to capitalize. Sharma notes that India’s batting in both innings fell short and that scoring runs is essential to support the bowlers in taking 20 wickets. He praises the fightback that restricted New Zealand to under 260 but admits India struggled under constant pressure. Looking ahead, he emphasizes a collective team effort and vows to bring improved plans and execution for the Wankhede Test.
Time for the presentation ceremony...
Glenn Phillips is in for a chat. He expresses his immense pride as New Zealand achieve a historic victory in India, describing it as indescribable. He acknowledges the long-standing challenge of winning against India on their home soil and is thrilled that their efforts have finally paid off. Phillips notes the difficulty of adapting to Indian conditions, emphasizing how proud the team feels of their accomplishment. He also commends a standout performance, referring to Santner's golden run and remarking that everything he touched turned into gold, which was pivotal in securing this remarkable win.
Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja got together in their quest to arrest the slide and as the ball aged, batting appeared slightly more manageable in the third session. However, New Zealand knew that they were always one error away from breaking the partnership. Mitchell Santner's persistence paid off when he skillfully coaxed Ashwin into an error to open one end up for his side. Despite Jadeja’s attempts to shield the tail by expertly farming the strike, New Zealand were able to wrap up the win. After his sensational 7-wicket haul in the first innings, Mitchell Santner wreaked havoc once again in the second, claiming 6 more wickets to finish with an extraordinary 13-wicket match haul.
Earlier on Day 3, India showed great intent with a spirited bowling effort, wrapping up New Zealand's innings within the first hour. The visitors added only 57 runs to their overnight total, setting India a target of 359. In response, Yashasvi Jaiswal set the tone right from the start, attacking the spinners to prevent them from finding any rhythm. He was supported by Shubman Gill, who played more cautiously but remained proactive. However, Jaiswal's dismissal saw a shift in momentum, with the incoming batters retreating into their shells. This cautious approach allowed Mitchell Santner to settle in, and he capitalized on it by running through the Indian middle order to put New Zealand firmly back in control.
While it was Sundar on the opening day for India, Mitchell Santner performed the Sundar role for New Zealand with a maiden five-wicket haul. India's frailties against spin were visible and a collapse that has been far too familiar in the series ensued. Courtesy of 7 wickets from Santner, the hosts were rolled over for 156 after being 50/1 at one point. Riding the wave of a 103-run lead, New Zealand drove home the advantage with Tom Latham being the standout and others batting around him to extend the lead to 301 by the end of Day 2.
As for India, they have been thoroughly outplayed and outclassed in all three facets of the game, and this series defeat will undoubtedly sting. While there were moments of brilliance across the two Tests, the team struggled to come together as a cohesive unit when it mattered most. Earlier in the Test, the toss fell New Zealand's way and Tom Latham had no hesitation to bat first. It was always going to be a crucial toss to win on a expectedly slow turner with the pitch getting tougher to bat as the game progressed. The visitors had an encouraging start on the back of fifties from Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra. Brought into the side for this Test, Washington Sundar triggered a collapse with a maiden 5-fer as the Kiwis slipped from 197/3 to be bundled out for 259, losing 7 wickets for 62 runs.
The fortress has been breached! New Zealand have made history, becoming the first touring side to win a Test series on Indian soil since 2012. They have ended India’s remarkable 18-series unbeaten streak at home. Few would have expected the Kiwis to halt India’s dominance, especially after their struggles in Sri Lanka before coming here. It’s been a memorable last few days for New Zealand cricket - first, the drought-breaking win in Bengaluru, where they clinched a Test victory in India after 36 years, followed by Sophie Devine and her team capturing their maiden T20 World Cup title. Now, in Pune, Tom Latham and his squad have accomplished what no New Zealand side has ever done - securing a Test series win on Indian soil.

Welcome back for what could very well be the final session of the game. The two umpires and players have made their way out to the centre. Glenn Phillips will kickstart proceedings with the ball. Let's play...
... DAY 3, SESSION 3 ...
As New Zealand tastes the thrill of an impending win, India faces a nearly impossible task ahead. The final session could be decisive - will India hold off the inevitable, or will New Zealand seal a commanding victory? Stay tuned to find out, after the break. The final session on Day 3 is coming up shortly.
New Zealand spinners are finding considerable assistance on this track, which has already seen Mitchell Santner wreak havoc with a match haul of 12 wickets so far—seven in the first innings and five in this one. New Zealand's bowlers have capitalized on the conditions with sharp turn and disciplined lines, leaving India with few scoring opportunities. Yashasvi Jaiswal did put up a fight up the order with his quickfire 77 but apart from him, no Indian was able to put a match-winning impact on the scoreboard for the team so far in the innings.
TEA! India have been outplayed in all three departments till now in the Test match. New Zealand edge closer to victory as India go into the Tea break on Day 3, still 181 runs away with only three wickets remaining. The hosts have been outclassed in all three departments, struggling to match New Zealand’s dominance in this Test. Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin remain at the crease, holding onto hopes of extending the innings and taking the game as deep as possible, but it will take an extraordinary effort to shift momentum from here.

Glenn Phillips To Washington Sundar OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! Another one bites the dust! Glenn Phillips strikes on his return to the attack. Phillips fires it in from around the wicket, full and attacking the front pad, Sundar presents a straight bat to defend. The ball stays a bit low and catches the inside edge of the bat. It lobs towards short leg where Will Young reacts quickly and sticks out his right hand. The ball lobs off his hand and it results in an easy rebound for him. He takes it by taking a couple of steps to his right. New Zealand started to celebrate but Sundar stood his ground. The third umpire is called into action to check for a bump ball. The replays show that it came off the inside edge onto the pads and lobbed towards short leg. OUT flashes on the big screen.

OUT! CASTLED! The game continues to get better for Mitchell Santner! He has now 12 wickets in the game. This is slowed down by Santner, on a nagging length, around the off-stump line, Sarfaraz Khan does not get fully forward and tries to defend with his bat close to the front pad. Plays down the wrong line as the ball straightens a touch to go past the outside edge and clatter into the off pole. From 96/1, India have slipped to 165/6.

Mitchell Santner To Virat Kohli OUT!
OUT! LBW! A loud shout and up goes the finger! Virat Kohli checks where this has hit him and he takes the review. This skidded off the deck from around the wicket, short and on middle and leg, Virat Kohli is deep in his crease to work it away off his pads. He was better off playing this one off the front foot. Gets beaten on the inside edge and the ball goes on to hit him on the back leg. The ball does not have much distance to travel. The UltraEdge shows no bat. The Ball Tracking shows that the ball is clipping the leg stump. Kohli stands there in disbelief. Santner gets Kohli for the second time in the game. The crowd is stunned. A body blow to India. They are now 147/5.

Drinks Break! India have been rocked in the last 15 minutes. After Shubman Gill's dismissal, Yashasvi Jaiswal kept the tempo alive, but his departure, along with the run-out of Rishabh Pant, has compounded the woes for the hosts. Mitchell Santner has been the only bowler looking threatening, and these twin blows have certainly lifted the Kiwi spirits. They will be aware of India's recent collapses and will need to remain patient and disciplined in their bowling to capitalize on this momentum. The pressure is now firmly on the hosts to stabilize their innings!

Ajaz Patel To Virat Kohli OUT!
OUT! RUN OUT! A disaster for India! Ajaz Patel drops it short outside off. Virat Kohli gets on the back foot and dabs it towards backward point. It is to the dominant left hand of Mitchell Santner there. The batters look at each other before setting off for the run. Mitchell Santner picks it up at once and throws it straight on top of the stumps to Tom Blundell who grabs it and takes the bails off with Rishabh Pant struggling with a dive. The third umpire is called into action and Pant is short of his ground despite the dive. The decision is OUT. India lose two in quick succession without adding a run. They are now 127/4.
Is that out? New Zealand are celebrating. Pant looks to be short of his crease. And yes, the replays confirm the same.

The throw goes to the batting and by the time, Tom Blundell can collect and release an underarm throw at the bowling end, Jaiswal is in. The throw hits Jaiswal on his back side.

Welcome back for what promises to be an action-packed second session. The two umpires and players have made their way out to the centre. Glenn Phillips will start the session with the ball for New Zealand. Phillips to Gill first up. Away we go...
... DAY 3, SESSION 2 ...
The Indian batters have visibly shifted their approach, showing a clear intent to disrupt New Zealand’s bowlers by employing sweeps and advancing down the track. This proactive strategy is aimed at preventing the bowlers from settling into their rhythm, especially on a pitch that’s offering increasing turn. However, New Zealand won’t mind this aggressive approach, as it opens up avenues for breakthroughs if the batters misfire. It's all set up for yet another enthralling session in this Test. The second session will commence at 6.40 am GMT. See you then. Cheers!
In reply, Yashasvi Jaiswal came out firing, setting a confident tone for the innings. His intent was palpable against both pacers and spinners, consistently putting the Kiwi bowlers under pressure. Although Rohit Sharma fell cheaply to Mitchell Santner, Jaiswal remained undeterred, continuing to take calculated risks. By the end of the session, India had raced to 81 runs off just 12 overs, scoring at an impressive rate of 6.75 runs per over. This aggressive start has injected much-needed momentum into India's chase and pushed the Kiwis on the back foot.
Earlier, New Zealand began the day with a commanding lead of 301 runs, looking to extend their innings and bat India out of the contest. For the first half-hour, things went their way, with Glenn Phillips and Tom Blundell scoring freely and pushing the lead further. However, Ravindra Jadeja's introduction changed the momentum, as he dismissed Blundell to claim his first wicket of the game. From there, India steadily chipped away, and the visitors managed to add only 57 runs before being bowled out, leaving India with a target of 359.
Well, we had quite an eventful session, didn't we? After a dominant Day 2 with all three sessions going New Zealand's way, India take the honours of the first session on Day 3. India came out firing and while they still have a long road ahead, their aggressive approach has forced New Zealand to rethink their strategies for the sessions to come.
