India v New Zealand, 2nd Test, Bangalore, 3rd day Southee seven gives NZ slim lead
New Zealand 365 & 29 for 0 lead India 353 (Kohli 103, Dhoni 62, Raina 55, Southee 7-64) by 41 runs
Tim Southee led the New Zealand charge against India on the third morningin Bangalore, taking 7 for 64 as the hosts were dismissed for 353 half an hour before lunch. At the break, New Zealand were 29 for no loss, with Brendon McCullum batting on 21, Martin Guptill on 4, and 41 runs ahead overall.
Most of the morning was dominated by the fine spell of new-ball bowling by Southee; these are his best bowling figures in an innings and took him past 50 Test wickets. If the remaining India batsmen could put together 70 runsthis morning, after being five down overnight, it was only because of a handy tenth-wicket partnership of 33 betweenR Ashwin and Umesh Yadav.
