The bowlers brought India back into the Auckland Test by dismissing New Zealand for 105 in their second innings. While it was a collective effort from the bowling attack, Zaheer Khan was particularly impressed with Mohammad Shami, who returned figures of 3 for 37. "He's a great prospect for Team India and has had some brilliant performances," Zaheer said of his junior fellow pacer. "There is no doubt in my mind that he is a match-winner. That is the way I look at him. A good bowler has this quality to take wickets in bunches, that is what defines a good bowler, and Shami has shown that quality. With experience he is only going to get better." The Indian spearhead was proud of all his bowling colleagues. "It was a brilliant performance from all the bowlers. As a bowling unit, we clicked together," Zaheer said. "The important thing was that we had some brilliant catching as well in the slip cordon and that was very crucial and it really made the difference." A major difference in India's bowling strategy in the second innings was that they bowled a fuller line, probing the Kiwi batsmen on the front foot. Zaheer said the reason for bowling short in the first innings was to show an aggressive intent. He credited Ishant Sharma, who finished with match-figures of 9 for 162, for an improved show in the second essay. "Short bowling was our plan in the first innings as we wanted to be aggressive as a bowling unit," Zaheer explained. "In the second innings, we went in with the approach that we have to focus on bowling the right areas and it worked for us. "Ishant has come a long way and it is important that he picks up wickets. He has been around for a while. He has the potential to create an impact at this level and I am happy that he's among the wickets." Despite a great day-three in the field, India are chasing a mammoth 407 in the Test. However, the new ball has been negotiated with the loss of just one wicket. That makes Zaheer hopefull of a win. "It's good that we have seen off the new ball today and tomorrow hopefully will be a better day for us. The pitch is looking good and what got to them was pressure and disciplined bowling by our bowlers. I don't think the pitch has changed a great deal and it is looking better if at all. "The momentum is with us and we will look to capitalise on that. We have got a good start today and it's important to start well tomorrow morning," he said.
