Persistent rains on Monday washed out the third day’s play between India A and New Zealand A of their third and final unofficial Test here.
New Zealand A were 36/2 in reply to India A’s imposing 464/5 declared at stumps on the second day.
India's total was bolstered by a second consecutive century on the tour for India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal (102), and half-centuries from Sai Sudharsan (88), Dhruv Jurel (71), Tilak Varma (81 not out), and Washington Sundar (50 not out).
The first two matches of the unofficial Test series ended in draws.
The washout on the third day kept Indian Test pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Prasidh Krishna, who both are returning after breaks, away from match-time ahead of the two-Test series against New Zealand.
While Bumrah sent down six wicketless overs on the second day evening after India declared their innings, Prasidh took both the wickets that fell in New Zealand A’s innings.
