Kyle Jamieson ran through the Indian batting line-up

Earlier on Day 3, the Indian team got bundled out for 217 runs after the heroics of pacer Kyle Jamieson. To kill time, the lanky New Zealand all-rounder, Kyle Jamieson was seen playing table tennis. Tweeting about the same, Blackcaps had written: “Wet weather has returned to the Hampshire Bowl so it’s table tennis for now.”

Giving the weather update, BCCI has also tweeted, “It continues to drizzle and we have to state the obvious. Start of play on Day 4 has been delayed.”

Earlier, Devon Conway, Tom Latham, and Kane Williamson managed to frustrate the Indian bowling line-up and as a result, New Zealand came out on top at teh end of Day 3 of the ongoing final on Sunday.
