Ajaz Patel picks his 11th wicket of the match. After smacking the spinner for a boundary towards the cover region, Mayank Agarwal goes for the aerial route towards the long-on fence. He is caught by Will Young at long-on as his stay in the middle comes to an end on 62. IND: 107-1

A couple of runs for Pujara as India's total move to 103-0. The batter is now seven runs short from his half-century. 

Mayank Agarwal charges down and plays it straight to Ajaz Patel, who gets his right hand in his followthrough but fails to hold on to the ball. IND: 101/0 

Tim Southee maintains his aggressive approach and hits Mayank Agarwal on his right wrist with a short delivery. The batter went for a shot but failed to get any connection as medical attention was needed. Good news after a brief pause, the batter is good to go. IND: 100/0 

Mayank Agarwal pushes a length delivery by Ajaz Patel for a single to bring up the 100-run stand between him and Mayank Agarwal. A good over from New Zealand's point of view as just one run come off it. IND: 100/0 

Tim Southee delivers the first maiden over of the day. 

Mayank Agarwal completes his 50 in style, comes down the track and slashes Ajaz Patel for a six towards the cover region. He does the same in the following delivery and this time he gets a four. A total of 10 runs come off the over. IND: 99-0  

A huge LBW appeal by Tim Southee against Mayank Agarwal and the umpire raises his finger. However, the batter straightaway takes the review and TV replay confirms that there was an inside edge. 

Meanwhile, excellent bit of fielding by Daryl Mitchell in the deep as he saves a boundary by putting in a brilliant dive. Gets a pat from Rachin Ravindra as the Indian pair run three. IND: 89-0 

Another boundary from Pujara and what a confident shot that was. A short delivery by Ajaz and the batter pulls it over the fielder for a four at the mid-wicket region. Four runs come off the over. IND: 86-0

Tim Southee starts with a length ball, pitched very close to the off stump as Mayank Agarwal plays it with soft hands. The ball takes an edge but bounces in front of Ross Taylor, who manages to save the ball from racing to the boundary ropes. Meanwhile, Agarwal flicks the fourth ball by Southee for a boundary as four runs come from the over. IND: 82-0 

Cheteshwar Pujara comes down and gets top on the ball to flick it down the leg-side for a boundary towards the mid-wicket region. He does the same in the following delivery as a total of nine runs come in the over. IND: 78-0

The players have arrived in the middle as Ajaz Patel is set to start things rolling for the visitors. Mayank Agarwal will face the first delivery. Here we go as LIVE action gets underway on Day 3. 

“Wankhede is one pitch where the ball can turn and you can get a few good deliveries but if you have the idea and you're set, it's a place where stopping the runs of a batter can be incredibly hard. It's a lightning outfield, it's got bounce, the margin of error as a spinner is very less.” 

“16 wickets fell on Day 2. Any cricketer would lick his fingers. It's been a cricketer's delight, this pitch. Ajaz Patel kept bowling in the right area. Mayank Agarwal loves to use his feet - sometimes he plays downtown and sometimes he hits over the top and then he tries to cut the ball using the depth of the crease. As a spinner, that's the biggest challenge. This is going to be a challenging pitch for a batter, but if you use your feet, you can still score runs. This pitch has a lot of help specially for the spinners.” 

After notching 150 in the first innings, Mayank Agarwal will surely aim for twin centuries from the match. The opener is batting on 38* and it will be interesting to see if the opener can reach the triple digits in the second innings as well.

India opener Mayank Agarwal, who was seen charging down the track on numerous occasion, during his gritty 150-run knock in the first innings, tried to explain his aggression against Ajaz Patel. Speaking after the close of play on Day 2, the India opener batter said: "For my batting, if I don't attack I'll get stuck, so if I don't put Ajaz under the pump, he will keep bowling in good areas.”  

“I remember his (Kumble) 10-for,” Ajaz said after the day’s play. “I have seen highlights of that game plenty of times. It’s a very illustrious group to be a part of, it’s great to see his message and his kind words. Humbled and fortunate to be in that company." - Ajaz Patel after the close of play on Day 2
