29.6 to R Dravid, . 102/2 145.5 to A Jadeja, down the track, big swing and misses completely, the ball finds the top of the stricks, would've been well stumped had it not. 502/5 149.6 to MSK Prasad, bowled around his legs! tries to sweep, missed and the rest is history, on the last possible delivery before tea. 518/6 151.6 to SR Tendulkar, just when everyone was gearing themselves up for an exciting hour after tea, it's ended prematurely as the one they want to see falls to a great diving catch at mid wicket, Tendulkar pulled it ferociously but Nash dove forward to snatch. 521/7
Nathan Astle	17	2	55	1	3.23	72	0	0
132.1 to SC Ganguly, goes for an adventurous shot too many, tries to slug it down the ground but it doesn't come on as expected, mistimed shot to Nash running back and across at mid on. 463/4
Chris Harris	17	3	64	1	3.76	74	0	1

59.6 to SP Fleming, and Fleming falls just before the tea interval, a great breakthrough for India removing New Zealand's rock, went for the drive but only managed the outside edge as it moved away, Prasad behind the stumps does the rest. 135/5 127.5 to CZ Harris, Harris gets into his stride just a little too much, eager for that lunch, fends away from the body outside off, edges to Ramesh who takes a sharp catch falling to his right at second slip, the session ends a ball early and in the space of one ball, it turns from what was a passable session for New Zealand to a poor one as the follow-on target looks even more distant than it did at the start of the day. 284/8
Venkatesh Prasad	26	9	52	2	2.00	135	0	1
32.5 to CM Spearman, Prasad smartly sends one wider outside off, and Spearman foolishly accepts the bait, trying to hammer another through the covers, this time the thick outside edge flies low to second slip and Ramesh snatches a fine catch diving to his left. 65/4 109.3 to NJ Astle, . 231/7
Anil Kumble	48	21	82	5	1.70	248	0	6
8.1 to MJ Horne, the end of day v Kumble jinx continues, Horne drives away from his body and straight into Dravid at silly mid off. 13/1 16.1 to DL Vettori, the pesky nightwatchman is removed easily, a simple bat/pad straight to short leg and the slow raise of the finger from umpire Koertzen sees him on his way. 29/2 18.3 to GR Stead, tries to glance against the spin on middle and leg, but it turns back a little to gain a leading edge that flies up on the off side, and an excellent catch from Ganguly diving forward at short extra cover, scooping it up just above the blades. 33/3 73.5 to AC Parore, forward in defence, turns into the front pad as it defeats the bat dangling outside off, the deathly slow raise of the finger from umpire Ramaswamy at the other end greets Parore when he looks up. 166/6 130.4 to CL Cairns, tries to free the arms outside off stump, but the ball slides on, too straight just outside off, and Cairns chops it on to his wicket. 294/9
Harbhajan Singh	30.4	8	78	1	2.54	146	0	0
141.4 to PJ Wiseman, tries to sweep from off stump, turns into the front pad and the appeal goes up, umpire Ramswamy raises the finger quickly, it's well caught at silly mid off also, but no bat near that one so the decision was for the first appeal. 308/10

Dion Nash	8	0	35	1	4.37	28	0	0
5.5 to S Ramesh, and this time it works, Ramesh tries to hook one from his shoulders, gets a fine nick through to Parore who gloves up high, Nash and Parore celebrate without feeling the need to appeal, Ramesh holds his ground until umpire Koertzen raises the finger. 35/2
