2nd Test: NZ bowled out for 255, India to chase mammoth 359 target

Pune: Spinners inflicted quick blows as India bowled out New Zealand for 255 in their second innings on the third day of the second Test here on Saturday.

But New Zealand built a lead of 358 runs, and the victory target of 359 is quite challenging on a crumbling Pune pitch.



Resuming at 198 for five, the Kiwis lost their remaining five wickets for 57 runs in an hour into the first session itself.

Off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin (2/97) and left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja (3/72) shared the spoils.
