The 3rd day of the 1st Test started with India taking a wicket on the first ball as&nbsp;Ishant&nbsp;Sharma&nbsp;registered impressive&nbsp;figures of 5 for 68. However, the Kiwi batting line up survived the attack long enough to take a 183 run lead before they were bowled out. India was hoping to not repeat the day 1 disaster but with Prithvi Shaw, Pujara and Kohli&nbsp;removed early by Trent Boult, the task fell on Mayank&nbsp;Agarwal's&nbsp;shoulder to carry the innings forward. Agarwal&nbsp;smashed a 99 ball 58 runs to bring India's game back to life before he was dismissed by Tim Southee.

Rishabh Pant may have lost his chance to impress with the bat but his wicket proved&nbsp;beneficial for the Black Caps.

Pant who showed some promise with his batting partner Ajinkya&nbsp;Rahane&nbsp;lost his wicket due to Rahane's&nbsp;poor call for a single. India quickly collapsed after Rahane&nbsp;was also shown the door by&nbsp;Southee. India lost 5 wickets for 33 runs after Pant's&nbsp;dismissal.

She spun her web of destruction and turned the match on its head with figures of 4/19.&nbsp;She could have also taken a World Cup hat-trick had Taniya Bhatiya taken a tough chance. Shikha Pandey too picked up 3 wickets as the hosts were bowled out for mere 115.&nbsp;With that India completed a hat-trick of wins against Australia in both the 50 over and T20 World Cups combined.

Indian skipper Virat&nbsp;Kohli&nbsp;may have given nightmare to bowlers for quite a while now, but the tour to New Zealand&nbsp;seems to be giving him the taste of his own medicine.

On the tour, he has managed to score just 1 half-century in 8 innings across&nbsp;all formats. Virat&nbsp;has also gone 19 International innings without scoring a hundred,&nbsp;his worst run of form since the horrid 2014 England tour.
