New Zealand will look back to a previous Test loss to try and salvage a victory against India in the third and final Test at the Basin Reserve, batsman Ross Taylor said on Saturday.
India had established a lead off 233 with nine wickets remaining in their second innings by the end of the second day after they had skittled the hosts out for 197, with Zaheer Khan taking five for 65.
The visitors, who hold a 1-0 series lead, were bowled out for 379 in the first session and seem more than likely to sew up their first series win in New Zealand since 1968.

Taylor, however, said New Zealand were in a similar position last May when they lost a Test match against England at Old Trafford despite holding a 179-run first innings lead.
"If we can come out tomorrow and knock off three or four wickets early on then we give ourselves a big sniff," Taylor said of the match situation.
"All we need to do is think back to the Manchester Test and how England played against us.
