IND vs NZ 2nd Test Highlights: New Zealand favourites after taking lead past 300 at stumps on Day 2

India vs New Zealand 2nd Test Live Updates: Washington Sundar was the hero for India with the ball on Day 1 but the hosts will be hoping that he doesn't have to bat today. With spinners taking control of the Pune Test, the Indian batters will be tested big time. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill will have to blunt the bowlers at least for the first hour. An early wicket can open the floodgates which won't be great for India who are defending their proud home record of 18 unbeaten Test series. New Zealand are chasing history and they would want to end the day with their noses well in front. Follow all the live updates of the IND vs NZ 2nd Test-

    NZ take their lead past 300!!

    The crowd is silent, New Zealand have taken their lead past 300 now. India would need some magic from here on!

  • 4:09 PM (IST) Posted by Varun Malik

    Sundar gets Latham!!

    A wicket for India. Sundar is the man again as he gets the New Zealand skipper Latham. Latham tried to sweep this one but the ball was much fuller and sneaked under his bat to the thigh pad. Latham went for the review but it was the umpire's call on impact and India have their man. NZ 183/5, lead by 286.

  • 3:43 PM (IST) Posted by Varun Malik

    Wicket keeps eluding India!

    Ravindra Jadeja made a couple of appeals for LBW but it was not to be. India did not take a review. A tough chance went between the keeper and the first slip. A wicket is still eluding India

  • 3:27 PM (IST) Posted by Varun Malik

    NZ take lead past 250!

    Captain Latham and Blundell are putting up another mini stand and this has taken the lad past 250. Still six wickets in hand. New Zealand are slowly batting India out of this

  • 3:07 PM (IST) Posted by Aditya Kukalyekar

    OUT!

    Daryl Mitchell is OUT as Washington Sundar completes 10-fer in the match!!!

  • 2:47 PM (IST) Posted by Aditya Kukalyekar

  • 2:39 PM (IST) Posted by Aditya Kukalyekar

    OUT!!!

    OUT!! Rachin Ravindra has been dismissed by Sundar as he picks his 9th wicket of the match. New Zealand are 90/3.

  • 2:32 PM (IST) Posted by Aditya Kukalyekar

    Final session starts!

    New Zealand have a chance to bat India out of this game!! Rachin Ravindra and Tom Latham would look to do it with yet another partnership. Can India trigger a collapse?

    R Ashwin traps Will Young in front of the stumps. New Zealand are 78/2 and lead by 181 runs.

  • 1:53 PM (IST) Posted by Aditya Kukalyekar

    New Zealand's lead approaching 200 runs

    This Test match is quickly going away from India's grasp. New Zealand have been very positive in their second innings. They are 76/1 after 17 overs. Jasprit Bumrah is into the attack in the 18th over.

  • 1:25 PM (IST) Posted by Aditya Kukalyekar

    OUT!

    Washington Sundar has struck to dismiss Devon Conway! Can he get on a roll now to pick more wickets? New Zealand are 36/1.

  • 1:03 PM (IST) Posted by Aditya Kukalyekar

    New Zealand's innings started!!

    With a solid lead of 103 runs, New Zealand have started positively. Tom Latham and Devon Conway are taking the attack to Indian bowlers who are expectedly under pressure. If the lead goes past the 200-run mark, it will virtually become impossible for India to make a comeback in this Test.

  • 12:46 PM (IST) Posted by Aditya Kukalyekar

    India's innings done and dusted!!

    Mitchell Santner has picked up his seventh wicket and India are bundled out for just 156 runs. An extremely poor effort from the batters as New Zealand have gained 103-run lead.

  • 12:36 PM (IST) Posted by Aditya Kukalyekar

    OUT!!!

    Mitchell Santner continues to pick wickets. He has picked up six wickets now with Akash Deep being the latest. India are 142/9 now.

  • 12:32 PM (IST) Posted by Aditya Kukalyekar

    OUT!!

    Ravindra Jadeja's fighting knock ends here!! Mitchell Santner caught him plumb lbw and the end is near for India. At 136/8, this Test is looking really gone now. Can Sundar spark something here?

  • 12:10 PM (IST) Posted by Aditya Kukalyekar

    Second session gets underway!!

    Post-lunch session starts!! How will India approach this session? Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar are in the middle. Can they stitch a partnership and reduce the deficit?

  • 11:31 AM (IST) Posted by Kumar Rupesh

    IND vs NZ 2nd Test Live Score: Lunch!

    IND vs NZ 2nd Test Live Score: Wicket alert!

    Sarfaraz Khan tries to break the shackles but finds the man stationed at long-off. India are six down for just 95. 

  • 10:57 AM (IST) Posted by Aditya Kukalyekar

    OUT!!

    India have been stunned into silence and are 83/5. Rishabh Pant is the latest batter to be dismissed and 259 is looking far away now. Who is going to bail the team out of trouble now?

  • 10:39 AM (IST) Posted by Aditya Kukalyekar

    OUT!!

    Glenn Phillips has struck now. Yashasvi Jaiswal is OUT now in the first over after drinks! New Zealand all over India at the moment as India are 70/4.

  • 10:32 AM (IST) Posted by Aditya Kukalyekar

    DRINKS!!

    India are 68/3 and drinks have been taken at the end of the first hour's play. New Zealand have picked two big wickets of Gill and Kohli. They are surely in the ascendancy at the moment and have a chance to drive home the advantage with a couple more wickets in the next hour. Pant and Jaiswal will have to stitch a partnership now.

  • 10:21 AM (IST) Posted by Aditya Kukalyekar

    IN and OUT!!

    Virat Kohli is IN and OUT!! A huge blow for India. He has literally been fooled with pace by Santner. An extremely soft dismissal and Kohli is GONE for 1. India are 56/3

  • 10:12 AM (IST) Posted by Aditya Kukalyekar

    50 up for India and Gill is OUT!!

    50 up for India and Shubman Gill has been dismissed. Mitchell Santner strikes for New Zealand. A much-needed wicket for the Kiwis and India are 50/2. It was a decent start with Gill and Jaiswal looking to go aggressive but the former's defence was always being questioned by Santner. In the end, the spinner gets his man.

  • 9:54 AM (IST) Posted by Aditya Kukalyekar

    Intent from Shubman Gill!

    After starting cautiously, Shubman Gill has stepped down the track to smash one over Southee's head for a six. A stamp of authority from Gill. How will Southee respond now?

  • 9:48 AM (IST) Posted by Aditya Kukalyekar

    Cautious start from Gill and Jaiswal

    It has been a cautious start from Gill and Jaiswal. Gill survived an early DRS call closely and it took four overs for the first boundary to come. Jaiswal's sublime cover drive has taken India's score to 24/1. 

  • 9:36 AM (IST) Posted by Aditya Kukalyekar

    Tim Southee from the other end

    Tim Southee to bowl from the other end. He got the wicket of Rohit Sharma late on Day 1 and will be looking for an early swing on a gloomy morning in Pune. Who will strike first for New Zealand?

  • 9:30 AM (IST) Posted by Aditya Kukalyekar

    Play set to start!

    The players are out in the middle as play is set to commence and New Zealand are starting with a spinner right away. Mitchell Santner to start the proceedings and Gill to take strike.

  • 9:17 AM (IST) Posted by Aditya Kukalyekar

    Pitch Report

    Little bit gloomy this morning. The end we are standing on has been tough for the batters, all 10 wickets have come from this pavilion end. The pitch hasn’t changed too much. There will be turn to a large extent but what’s important is the speeds at which bowlers operate. There isn’t much moisture but what Indian batters needs to deal with is the natural variation off the pitch. Still tough conditions from a batting point of view, enough in it for the bowlers, say Dinesh Karthik and Simon Doull.

  • 9:16 AM (IST) Posted by Aditya Kukalyekar

    Play to start at 9:30 AM IST

    The second day's play is set to get underway in around 12-13 minutes now. There will be some crowd in Pune today with India batting and if Virat Kohli gets a start, expect more people to come in, in the post lunch session. 

  • 8:46 AM (IST) Posted by Aditya Kukalyekar

    Rohit Sharma's form, a concern?

    India lost Rohit Sharma early in response to 259 from New Zealand. He was dismissed by Tim Southee for the record 14th time in international cricket. Is his form a concern for India ahead of the Border Gavaskar Trophy? Yes, he scored a half-century in the second innings in Bengaluru. But it is his second consecutive poor score in the first innings when you can dictate things. Australia tour is coming soon and Rohit will be keen to score big in the next Test in the first innings.

  • 8:33 AM (IST) Posted by Aditya Kukalyekar

    Record Alert!!

    Washington Sundar and Ravi Ashwin picked up all 10 wickets on Day 1. This is the first time ever in India's history that all 10 wickets were picked by right-arm offspinners.
