New Zealand collapse against India in third Test

Sports

WELLINGTON, April 4, 2009 (AFP) -

India took a big step towards winning their first Test series in New Zealand since 1968 after racking up a 233-run lead early in their second innings of the third Test here on Saturday.

India were on 51 for one at stumps on the second day after dismissing New Zealand for 197 on the second day in reply to India's first innings total of 379.

Gautam Gambhir was unbeaten at stumps on 28 with Rahul Dravid not out on nine.

Typically aggressive opener Virender Sehwag was the only wicket to fall, caught by Ross Taylor at first slip after a short ball from Chris Martin seamed into him and ballooned off his glove.
