Big change on World Test Championship standings after New Zealand defeat India

ICC
India's lead at the top of the standings is reduced as New Zealand climb back into contention for a second appearance in the final.
Australia and Sri Lanka are currently India's closest challengers on the standings, with Pat Cummins' side in second place on 62.50 percent and the island nation narrowly behind with 55.56 following their recent series sweep over New Zealand.
But New Zealand's triumph over India has the Kiwis back in the running for a second appearance in the World Test Championship final, as they overtake England and South Africa to re-claim fourth position.
Remaining World Test Championship Fixtures
New Zealand host England for three Tests in November and December and may still be in contention for a top two finish on the standings with a pair of positive results from the remaining matches against India.
