India might have taken an upper hand after the first day's play in the third Test, but New Zealand all-rounder Jimmy Neesham feels that his team can bounce back by grabbing some quick wickets on Sunday.
"Keeping the run rate below three was a good achievement. Couple of quick wickets tomorrow and we are still in the game," said Neesham at the post match press conference here.
Neesham insisted that there was little that the Kiwi bowlers could have done differently today with there being little movement available off the track.
"I don't know if we could have done it a whole lot different with the ball. We stuck at it well. It was tough work for the seamers. There was not a lot of bounce or lateral movement. If you can't get the ball reverse swinging, it's difficult with their quality batsmen," Neesham said.
"We started a touch loose but over the day we kept a lid on the run rate but Ajinkya and Virat batted well for most of the second half of day. India's honours in the end.
"It was a bit cooler than the first two Tests, so better from a hydration point of view. There wasn't a whole lot of lateral movement, so hard to get guys out. Hopefully spinners can get more out of it as it starts to break up," he added.
