New Zealand were all out for 299 in their first innings on the third day of the third and final cricket Test against India. India took a lead of 258 but decided not to enforce the follow on.

Riding on Ashwin's brilliant figures of 6/81, India bowled out New Zealand for 299 thereby taking a healthyfirst-innings lead of 258 runs.
Brief Scores: India 1st Innings: 557/5 declared
New Zealand 1st Innings: 299 all out in 90.2 overs
Earlier in the match openers Martin Guptill (59 batting) and Tom Latham (53) completed half centuries and also figured in a 118-run opening stand before Ashwin removed left-handed Latham, 15 minutes before lunch break.
Giving Guptill company was Captain Kane Williamson (3 batting) after New Zealand negotiated the 30 overs during the first session with relative ease.
Guptill had faced 120 balls while striking two huge sixes and 8 boundaries. New Zealand batted sedately after resuming at the overnight 28 without loss, but were also fortunate not to lose Guptill in the first half hour’s play and then Latham
The right-handed opener was on 21 in a team score of 35 when Mohammed Shami, who worked up good pace along with Umesh Yadav at the other end, got him to edge to Ajinkya Rahane stationed at second slip but the Mumbaikar put down the sharp chance.
