India are firmly in the lead now thanks to some clever bowling . This is the critical period now though where Young and Mitchell are forming another good partnership and they could shift the momentum back in their favor.

However, if both get out soon, it's all over for the Kiwis in my opinion. I feel that not playing Santner in this final test was a bad move.

Clever bowling refers to the pairing of Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin where these two have been one of the main reasons for New Zealand's batting woes. At the moment New Zealand have taken a lead of 143 runs, it is not a big target and there is only one more wicket where a big lead of 150 runs can be achieved. It can be said with great confidence that India will definitely win the final match and there is no chance of a whitewash. The only thing that can be said is India's clever bowling i.e. spin attack has kept India ahead in today's match.
