1.21pm Right, India have been dismissed for 263, earning a first-innings lead of 28. The Wankhede pitch is beginning to play tricks. This 28-run lead could prove to be somewhat crucial on this surface though India seemed set for a bigger lead. We will be back shortly for NZ's second innings. Do stay locked in.

Sampath Bandarupalli: 13 ducks for Indian batters in this series (so far), the most by them in a Test series of three or fewer matches. The previous highest was 12 against England in England in 1974.

H. Prasanna : "That is Test cricket! You never know which Washington Sundar or NZ side is going to show up for the series."

Tarun: "That run out sums up the mindset and in general how the series went.. there was never a two there and Akash deep was kind of lazy in turning back. "

Krishna: "NZ dropping chances will come back to bite them badly. India primed to win this one and make it 2-1."

Rajat: "India need to bat Washington much higher in the batting order than number 9. Right now, he seems to be the most calm among the Indian batters on the crease. Only Gill and Jaiswal apart from him exude a sense of calm which is otherwise lacking from others"

Patel to Washington Sundar, 1 run, OUT, on a length and outside off, dinked to square-ish deep third. India aim two but just one there. Deep turns around for the second - Washington sends him back - but by the time he undoes his steps and returns to the safety of the batting crease, he's caught short. Ravindra throws the ball to Blundell, who does the rest. A bit lazy from Deep there
