Earlier at the end of the day three, Young Indian opener Shubman Gill feels that bad light on day three took away their chance to have a go at Ross Taylor and make further inroads into New Zealand batting. “It (Conway) was a crucial wicket for us and I feel that if we would have been able to bowl a few overs to Ross Taylor, we might have been able to get couple of more wickets. We would have a slight edge as both batsmen (Taylor and Kane Williamson) are relatively new at the crease,” Gill said during the media conference at the end of day three.
