Shubman-Gill
Indian opening batsman Shubman Gill feels that India will have a slight edge going into Day 4 after the dismissal of Devon Conway. Shubman Gill also accepted that it's been a problem as they have now failed to cross 250 against New Zealand on five back-to-back occasions. After the entire Indian cricket team got out for 217, New Zealand got off to a brilliant start. Opening batsmen Tom Latham and Devon Conway added 70 runs for the first wicket.
New Zealand opening duo Tom Latham (30) and Devon Conway were slow initially but later on played with sheer determination to see off the new Dukes ball in Southampton. Both the opening duo faced pacers Ishant Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami one after the other till the 14th over. After that, the spinners were brought in to bowl. India's ace spinner R Ashwin picked up Latham's wicket in the 34th over.
Indian bowlers will walk into Day 4 with more confidence: Shubman Gill
While R Ashwin removed Tom Latham for 38, Devon Conway guided the Kiwis past 100. At stumps on Day 3, New Zealand posted 101/2 with Kane Williamson (12*) and Ross Taylor (0*) unbeaten at the crease. The Black Caps are still trailing India by 116 runs.
Young batsman Shubman Gill is of the opinion that the late wicket of Devon Conway was very crucial for them. The young opener believes that the Indian bowlers will walk into Day four with more confidence as they have an excellent chance to dismiss the Kiwi batting line-up. Gill also praises New Zealand pacer Kyle Jamieson. Kyle Jamieson was the star of the day for New Zealand as he claimed his fifth 5-wicket haul. The young pacer helped New Zealand bundle India out for 217.
The Indian cricket team went from 149 for 3 to 217 all-out. On day three, Kyle Jamieson added Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant to his victims' list after Rohit Sharma's wicket from Saturday. On the other hand, Shubman Gill feels that the Indian bowling unit also performed well. However, the youngster stated that they didn't have the fickle luck on their side as a couple of edges flew over the fielders. Meanwhile, New Zealand is trailing by 116 runs and India requiring eight wickets before they can bat again.
