No Rishabh Pant at warm-ups
Dhruv Jurel was seen doing the keeping drills and there was no Rishabh Pant to be spotted ahead of the start of Day 3. Jurel seems likely to take the gloves, however, India would want Rishabh Pant to be fit sooner as they would want Pant the batter in the second innings.

India in desperate need of a magical first hour
46 was such a low score that New Zealand batters could take their own sweet time and play however they wanted. Devon Conway came out all guns blazing while the likes of Tom Latham and Will Young were solid. India did get three wickets but they need to get into the Black Caps' middle and the lower-middle order rather quickly as with every run, the visitors are getting into unbeatable position. New Zealand have a lead of 134 runs and India would want to keep it to as minimum as possible.
