File Pic.[/caption] Internet Desk: In a dramatic turn-around the Indian spinners turned the table and took 4 wickets in the last 10 deliveries forcing New Zealand all-out for 262 runs on the third day of the First test in Kanpur. Ravindra Jadeja (5/73) and Ravichandran Ashwin (4/93) combined forces to hurt New Zealand. The visitors were dismissed for 262 in the first innings on the third day of the first Test in Kanpur, as India took 56-run lead. New Zealand were looking rock solid with 255 for 5 and suddenly collapsed to 262 all out. Seeing the nature of the pitch the lead seems to be quite sizeable. The session of play exemplified that how quickly wickets could fall against precise bowling. Ravindra Jadeja leads the bowling scorecard with 5 for 73 runs followed by 4 for 93 by Ravichandran Ashwin. It was Jadeja’s fifth five-wicket haul in Tests, and a third on the trot in first-class innings. With two more days in hand India could well look to win the First test if they put up a sizeable total in the second innings.
