Yashasvi Jaiswal stroked a breezy 46 not out off 36 balls as India reached 81-1 in its second innings at lunch on day three of the second test, chasing a mammoth 359 runs for victory over New Zealand.

History for New Zealand was within the reach of the outstretched long arm of Mitchell Santner, who intercepted India's audacious bid for a chase of 359. Santner took five second-innings wickets, and ran a sixth one out to go to tea three wickets short of their first series win in India and India's first home series defeat since 2012.
