India lost more than half of their side as they tottered to 92/6 at lunch in pursuit of 147 on day three of the third and final Test in Mumbai on Sunday.

Having dismissed New Zealand for 174 at the beginning of the first session, India needed 147 runs to pick up a conciliatory win here.

However, the home team batters collapsed to spin with Ajaz Patel, who took a five-for in the first innings, taking his match haul to nine wickets.

Rishabh Pant (53 not out) was leading India's charge when lunch was taken. He had Washington Sundar (6 not out) for company. India still need 55 runs to win the Test.

Young, who scored 51 off 100 balls, was the penultimate wicket to fall on day two as the hosts dismissed New Zealand for 174 in their second innings early on Sunday.

Ajaz Patel and Matt Henry could add only three runs to New Zealand's total this morning having resumed at the overnight score of 171/9.
