Meanwhile, New Zealand still have 5 wickets in hand with Tom Blundell and Glenn Phillips on the crease for the visitors. While Blundell is on 30, Phillips is giving him company on 9 runs. The Kiwis would aim at swelling the lead as much as possible on the third day so as to give India a very tough and unachievable target to chase.
