    1st Test: NZ bowled out for 296, Axar takes five-for
    Axar Patel took his fifth five-wicket haul in Test cricket

    Indian all-rounder Axar Patel mowed down the New Zealand batting line-up on Day 3 of the ongoing first Test at Green Park, Kanpur. The left-arm off-spinner continues his phenomenal run in Test cricket, having registered his fifth five-wicket haul. New Zealand, who started the day at 151/0, were bundled out for 296. Ravichandran Ashwin also took three wickets. Here are the key takeaways.

    NZ resumed from their overnight score of 129/0. Tom Latham and Will Young took the Kiwis past 150. In the first session, Ashwin gave India the much-required breakthrough in the form of Young. Kane Williamson also departed toward the session's end. The next two sessions belonged to Axar, who took a five-for. Meanwhile, India finished on 14/1 at stumps. They lead by 63 runs.
