NZ 147/7, looks like India is about to secure their series win.... they just got a test victory after 33 years and are about to win a series in NZ (after 41 years)!

**jeera blade took 5 wickets ..

:hmmm:

Stumps Day 3

India 349/5 (Gambhir 167) in a commanding position

lead = 531 runs

Play will start 30 min. early tomorrow

My guess is India will bat for another 90 minutes on day 4 and then declare with a lead of 600+

Eleven hours (or around 160 overs) should be enough to bowl NZ out in the second innings..

*its pretty much india's game .......

To make up for "Lost Time" today the Match will start 30 minutes earlier tomorrow.

As such I think India will bat up to the Lunch Interval and then with a lead of about 650 runs give New Zealand Five Sessons, say 150 Overs, to try and get a result - hopefully favourable to India.

Unfortunately for India, rains have played spoilsport and the game was drawn.

India would have won if not for the rain gods playing spoilsport. From an Indian fan's perspective they won the game, and a series win in NZ adds to the fun.

**i remember a match in india .. where an indian fan was carrying a play card...

rain rain come again
we want to save the game**

:p
