In Pics: Jadeja, Ashwin spin routs New Zealand on turning Day 3 track

Kanpur, Sep 24: Exploiting a turning track, left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja scalped three batsmen in one over for a five-wicket haul while Ravichandran Ashwin grabbed four wickets as India spun out New Zealand for 262 on day three to take control of the first cricket Test here on Saturday.

With a 56-run first innings lead, Indian openers Murali Vijay (14 batting) and KL Rahul (38) took India to 52 for one at tea as the hosts extended their overall lead to 108 with nine second innings wickets in hand.

Leg-break bowler Ish Sodhi had Rahul caught in first slip at the fag end of extended second session. The umpires called for tea break, immediately after Rahul's wicket.

The New Zealanders had started the bright and sunny day at a strong 152 for one but lost nine wickets for 100 runs with Ashwin (4/93) and Jadeja (5/73) exposing visitors' shortcomings in handling spin.

The Indians too had faltered in their first innings from being 154 for one to be 318 all out.
