2nd Test: Santner Picks Five As NZ Inch Closer To Historic Series Win Over India
New Zealand: Left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner picked his second five-fer of the ongoing second Test as New Zealand inched closer to a historic series win by reducing India to 178/7 in 40 overs at tea on day three at the MCA Stadium on Saturday.
India had a blazing start to the chase by being 81/1 at lunch, but losing six wickets in the second session means they are still 181 runs away from a highly improbable win, with the end of the game looking possible in some time.
Santner, despite clutching on to his right side, had India in all sorts of troubles yet again to put New Zealand on the cusp of their first Test series win in the country. They now need to get past Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, plus rest of lower-order, to hand India their first series loss at home since December 2012.
