Stumps India 86 for 4 (Gill 31*, Jaiswal 30, Ajaz 2-33) trail New Zealand 235 (Mitchell 82, Young 71, Jadeja 5-65, Washington 4-81) by 149 runs
Ravindra Jadeja bowled 22 unchanged overs in the oppressive heat and humidity of Mumbai to pick up his 14th Test five-wicket haul and help bowl New Zealand out for 235. However, India threw away the advantage with the loss of three wickets in the last two overs of the day to end at 86 for 4.
Jadeja had to work much harder for his wickets than New Zealand did at the fag end of the day. It included bowling through the whole middle session, during which Washington Sundar, who took four wickets, went off the field to rehydrate, and the batters got drinks almost every three overs.
