More than two years after his comeback to the Indian team, Gautam Gambhir , after getting off to a good start, was dismissed for 29. He flicked well and in particular, there was no dab towards the third-man.Despite Murali Vijay's early dismissal, Gambhir and Pujara took India forward. New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson , back leading the side after missing out the second Test, introduced his spinners inside five overs, to which Gambhir gleefully responded. Gambhir drew forward, missed connecting bat to ball and was hit on the back pad to be given out LBW. India took lunch at 75/2 with Pujara batting on 29.
