As long as the match is concerned, New Zealand have been bowled out for 249 thanks to excellent bowling by Indian bowlers in last two sessions. They kept kiwi batsmen on backfoot, but yet they were able to score 249.

Overall, New Zealand are in a better position because they have bowlers perfectly suited to swinging conditions than India’s pace attack. India need at least 200+ and that would mean two sessions consumed.
