India vs New Zealand Highlights, 2nd Test Day 1: IND post 16/1 at Stumps, trail by 243 runs; Sundar picks 7, NZ post 259

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1: Conway was jittery to say the last on the last day of the first Test and in the early exchanges today. Well he now seems to be reading Bumrah like a well written book at the moment. Bumrah goes short of a length fourth ball, Conway punches it off the backfoot between point and cover for a four. He then goes past point on the other side next ball for another four. Then a big shout for LBW from Bumrah and the Indians last ball, umpire shakes his head and the hosts don't challenge him.

Conway is on 59 off 114, Ravindra on five off 13.

New Zealand 104/2 in 32 overs

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1: A lovely cover drive off the very first ball of the session, the ball goes to the boundary and there is a very authoritative half-century indeed from Devon Conway. Conway has reached 53 in 109 balls as he sends that ball careening between mid-off and cover.

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1: Jasprit Bumrah to bowl the first over after Lunch. Devon Conway facing up with Rachin Ravindra at the other end. Conway is three runs away from his half-century.

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1: Whether India would've got more wickets had they set up more attacking fields or not is something that can never be said for sure. But an Indian team pushing fielders back in the first session of a Test match with the pitch giving spinners a lot of purchase was quite strange indeed. It probably had a big part to play in the batters being able to rotate strike quite easily in this session. India have generally been an ultra-attacking team under Rohit Sharma, wonder if Gautam Gambhir had something to do with this change of tactic.

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1: Conway finishes that session on 47 off 111 balls, Rachin Ravindra on five off 10. Washington Sundar bowled the last over of the session, big appeal for LBW off the last ball but to no avail.

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1: Just a run off the 29th over by Jadeja. Ashwin continues from the other end for his 12th over. He has pretty much continuously bowled since the first half an hour of this session. Figures of 2/30 thus far. Jadeja just got done with his fifth over.

New Zealand 88/2 in 29 overs

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1: A good review followed by a poor one the very next ball. Huge appeal for LBW against Conway off the first ball of the 25th over by Jade. The umpire says no. Jadeja, as usual, is utterly convinced, Rohit has a long with Pant who doesn't seem sure. In the end, Rohit takes the review. Just as he motioned though, Kohli had joined the huddle and seemed to have started to tell Rohit to not do it. With good reason. That was missing leg stump by a kilometre. Three singles in the rest of the over, Conway on 40 off 82, Rachin Ravindra at the other end on one off two.

New Zealand 79/2 in 25 overs

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1: Oh that's gone and Sarfaraz Khan convinces Rohit to go upstairs and rightly so. Ashwin floats the last ball of the 24th down the leg side, Young tries to work it away but can't quite find the connection. Sarfaraz almost the only person who heard the ball grazing the glove and short leg and Rohit reviews. Turns out that Sarfaraz was right.

Young c Pant b Ashwin 18 (45)

New Zealand 76/2 in 24 overs

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1: Rohit Sharma hands the ball to Ravindra Jadeja in the 21st over of the innings. It's all become a bit too stale for India's liking, New Zealand haven't been troubled at all since the drinks break. Now Jadeja has this tendency of shaking things up early in his spells, can he do something here? Conway is on 31 off 67 balls, Young on 15 off 32 balls.

New Zealand 64/1 in 20 overs

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1: Well it remains to be seen what India is intending here but on the surface of it, we are seeing some strangely defensive field placements by Rohit Sharma. Both long on and long off are back close to the boundary, another close to the boundary at deep square leg in the 18th over by Ashwin. We are just over the halfway mark of the first session, remember. Conway and Young looking absolutely assured now, knocking off singles whenever they feel like it. Conway on 29 off 60, Young on 11 off 27.

New Zealand 56/1 in 18 overs

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1: Conway with a single off the first ball of the 16th bowled by Ashwin and that takes New Zealand to 50 runs. Young with another single and Conway takes one off the last over to keep strike. He is on 27 off 50, Young on nine off 25.

New Zealand 52/1 in 16 overs

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1: A very good session all in all thus far for New Zealand. They have lost just one wicket and the batters in the middle seem to have settled themselves against Ashwin and Sundar. They have reached 49 with their run rate a shade under 4 an over.

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1: Ashwin goes short and wide despite having a leg-side field fifth ball of the 12th, Young takes the gift and cuts it to the boundary. Conway takes a single off the first ball of the next over from Sundar and Young sees the rest of it away without too much trouble. Conway on 21 off 39, young on eight off 18.

New Zealand 45/1 in 13 overs

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1: It has suddenly become a different kind of a match. This pitch is perfect for spinners, India have reverted to their strengths to try and win this Test. Conway and Will Young are doing the right thing though. They have given themselves time, not gone for anything extravagant in the 10th and 11th overs from Ashwin and Sundar respectively. Conway on 20 off 38, Young on two off seven.

New Zealand 38/1 in 11 overs

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1: Off-spin from both ends, Bumrah's spell is done. Washington Sundar to bowl in a Test match for the first time since March 2021.

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1: He had a poor match in Bengaluru, now Ashwin gets India the breakthrough in his very first over. Latham doesn't bother with the review, he is gone for all money. Latham drawn forward, the line is on middle and leg. It strikes him on the pads and the Indians appeal. Umpire raises his finger. Hit Latham right in front and he probably knew he had no edge on it.

Latham lbw b Ashwin 15 (22)

New Zealand 32/1

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1: 7 runs off the 7th over from Bumrah, it was his fourth over. Wonder if he will bowl another. What is fore sure is that Akash Deep's spell is done, Ravichandran Ashwin replaces him in the eighth over to bowl the first over of spin. There hasn't been too much trouble for Latham and Conway, these are good batting conditions but the spinners could stand a better chance at winning this. Conway on 15 off 25, Latham on 14 off 18.

New Zealand 30/0 in 7 overs

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1: Deep goes a bit too full fourth ball, Conway drives it beautifully through mid-off for four. Takes a single next ball and then too full again for the last. Latham clips it between mid-on and midwicket. Bumrah continues for his third over now. Latham is on 12 off 15, Conway on five off 10. He had bowled a maiden previous over.

New Zealand 18/0 in 4 overs

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1: Typical to the early exchanges of a Test match really. Latham lets the first ball from Deep go, the pacer makes the batter play the second ball. It holds its line, takes the outside edge and it runs between the slips and gully to the boundary. The third ball is also edged, it goes to gully but doesn't carry. No runs after that. Now Conway will face Bumrah for the first time. He was all at sea on the last day of that first Test against the ace India pacer.

New Zealand 7/0 in 2 overs

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1: Latham runs two off the third ball of the over and then a single off the last. A quiet start in that first over, no big runs for the batter, not many chances for the bowler either. Akash Deep to share the new ball.

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1: All right, time for some Test cricket! Jasprit Bumrah has the ball in his hands, Tom Latham is on strike, Devon Conway at the other end. Sunil Gavaskar says in the commentary box that the three changes India made shows that there is some panic in the home camp.

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1: Now, while we call this the Pune Test, those living in the city, and even those living in Mumbai, would tell you that this stadium is quite far away from the main city. Situated right at the entrance to the Mumbai-Pune express highway in Gahunje, the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium is among the newest Test venues in India, with the first match being played in February 2017. In fact, this is just the third Test to be played there. India lost the first-ever Test here to Australia by a whopping 333 runs in February 2017. They then blasted South Africa out of the park when they returned to this stadium, winning by innings and 137 runs in October 2019.

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1: Now he may not be very high up in the pecking order for a spot in the Test team but whenever he has got a chance Sundar has been quite sensational with bat more than the ball for India. He was an integral part of India's stunning victory in the last Border-Gavaskar Trophy and then played an important role in India coming back from 1-0 down against England at home the next year.

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1: Tom Latham says that the ace fast bowler has a problem with his glute, Mitchell Santner replaces him.

New Zealand XI: Tom Latham(c), Devon Conway, Will Young, Rachin Ravindra, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Blundell(w), Glenn Phillips, Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee, Ajaz Patel, William ORourke

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1: We haven't seen the Indian team making changes to this extent between Tests for a while now. Shows just how different this pitch is from the one that was there in Bengaluru. And yet, India have stuck to two pacers, albeit the second fast bowler being Akash Deep and not Mohammed Siraj. Washington Sundar being included ahead of Kuldeep Yadav is a bit of a surprise, wonder if the former's skills with the bat had a role to play.

India: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma(c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant(w), Sarfaraz Khan, Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Ravichandran Ashwin, Akash Deep, Jasprit Bumrah
