Rain washed out Day 3 of the third unofficial Test between India A and New Zealand A in Lincoln, leaving the match heading towards a draw. India A, leading by 428 runs, had declared their innings at 464/5, with contributions from Yashasvi Jaiswal (102), Dhruv Jurel (71), Tilak Varma (81 not out), and Washington Sundar (50 not out). Prasidh Krishna claimed both wickets to fall on the second day, finishing with figures of 2/73. The washout was a setback for India A, as they aimed to provide match practice for their bowlers ahead of the senior team's two-Test series against New Zealand, starting November 19.
Jasprit Bumrah, returning to action after the Asian Games, bowled six overs on the second day, conceding just 11 runs and delivering a maiden over, though he did not claim a wicket. All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, who joined the India A squad after playing for Saurashtra in the Ranji Trophy, did not bowl on the second day and hopes for an opportunity on the final day.
