Zaheer's five-for gives India control

On the second day of the third and final test on Saturday, India lead 233 runs at the close of play against New Zealand.

India holding 1-0 series lead after a 10-wicket victory in the first game in Hamilton, were 51 for one at the close after Zaheer Khan's seventh five-wicket haul helped bowl the hosts out for 197 in their first innings.

Zaheer finished with five for 65 from 18 overs as New Zealand conceded a 182-run lead after they had bowled India out for 379 earlier in the day.

The Indian team extended that lead with only the loss of explosive opener Virender Sehwag, who blasted three boundaries in his seven-ball innings of 12.

Lets hope for the India's glorious victory against the host team.
