India vs New Zealand Highlights 2nd Test Day 2: NZ post 198/5 at Stumps, lead by 301 runs; Sundar picks 11th wicket

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd Test Day 2: Interesting move this. Ravichandran Ashwin has the new ball in his hands, Tom Latham on strike with Devon Conway at the other end. There is a lot of doom and gloom already on social media but the fact remains that this is India in India, never write them off. Will be interesting to see if Rohit Sharma will set more attacking fields from the beginning here. A big reason why New Zealand got 100 odd runs more than India did yesterday is because of the bafflingly defensive fields Rohit set in the first sesssion. Here we go!

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd Test Day 2: Seven wickets for Mitchell Santner. An extraordinary performance from him; he has ripped the Indian batting lineup to shreds. Washington Sundar blasted 14 runs in the 45th over, but he will stay unbeaten on 18 off 21 as Jasprit Bumrah is gone LBW against Santner off the third ball of the next over. India have lost nine wickets for 106 runs.

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd Test Day 2: And that is six wickets for Mitchell Santner. Akash Deep hit the fifth ball down the ground for a six. Goes forward to defend the last ball, but it spins away from him just enough to take the off stump. That was a heck of a delivery, too good for anyone, let alone a No.10.

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd Test Day 2: And that is the end of Jadeja's counter-attack. Big appeal for LBW first ball of the 44th and the umpire gives it. Jadeja reviews but it's possibly because India have three reviews more than anything else. Replays raise some hopes for Indian fans as the ball turns a lot, but ball tracking shows that it is hitting leg stump.

Jadeja lbw b Santner 38 (46)

India 136/8

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd Test Day 2: Big appeal for LBW by Ajaz and NZ off the second ball of the next over, the umpire gives it but Jadeja reviews straightaway. This time he would be happy he got an inside edge on it, there it is, big flicker on ultra edge. Then Jadeja takes on the long-on fielder at the boundary and clears him with ease for his first six of the innings. Three more runs for him in that over and he moves to 30 off 40 balls, Washington on two off eight.

India 126/7 in 41 overs, trail by 133 runs

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd Test Day 2: Oh wow, Jadeja was gone but New Zealand didn't review the umpire's decision! Santner's very first ball of the session kicks up at Jadeja from a good length, Jadeja pushes at it and then raises his bat immediately almost to show that he got nothng on it. The ball loops up off his pad and Will Young dives from short leg to take a sharp catch. The umpire shakes his head though after which Santner says there was nothing on it, Young keeps his peace. Replays later show that Jadeja had got a monster inside edge there! To make matters worse for NZ, Jadeja gets a tickle leg side and sends the next ball to the boundary. Then Jadeja comes down the wicket and smashes the third ball past mid on for another four. He gets off strike after which Washington defends away the last two balls.

India 117/7 in 40 overs

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd Test Day 2: Jadeja defends away the first five balls and then takes a single off the last. He keeps strike and here comes Mitchell Santner from the other end, his figures read 4/36.

India 108/7, trail by 151.

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd Test Day 2: All smiles in the New Zealand huddle, they have a real skip in their steps now. Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja walk out for India. The latter is on strike. Ajaz Patel to bowl the first over of the second session. What can India get up to here.

India 107/7, trail by 152

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd Test Day 2: India packed their lineup with batters, with Washington Sundar walking in all the way down at No.9 but there isn't much use of a deep batting lineup if you lose five of your middle order wickets for less than 50 runs. Now, India are down to their last recognised batting pair with Sundar and Jadeja walking back out for the second session.

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd Test Day 2: Well it is now time to start talking realistically about New Zealand's chances to win this match. It is not an easy pitch to bat on at all but India's capitulation has now given New Zealand a lot of time to set up a big target for the hosts, unless we have a miraculously big partnership between Jadeja and Washington, which actually could happen because that is what India do in home Tests. They somehow just win, by sheer dominance or through some miracle performances. But seldom have they looked this far behind for two consecutive Tests in the past decade and so it is now quite realistic for Kiwi fans to start hoping for a series win here. India haven't lost a Test series at home since losing to England 2-1 in 2012, there is a very good chance now that their incredible streak, probably the greatest ever seen in Test cricket, could end here.

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd Test Day 2: An incredible session on all accounts. New Zealand on the money throughout and they were helped by most Indian batters gift-wrapping their wickets and handing it to them. This might just be India's worst batting performance in many, many years, home or away. It is true that bowling is what wins Test matches and Gautam Gambhir had said before this series that this is now India's approach in this format. Wonder if this means they have expedited with any intention of batting responsibly at all. You can win matches only if you take 20 wickets, but it becomes difficult to take those wickets if your batters fall for no runs

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd Test Day 2: One has to wonder if India's shot-selection today was part of a tactic they had of trying to hit the New Zealand bowlers off their line, which might also explain why they would select Washington Sundar with his skills with the bat in mind. However, to stick to that tactic despite seeing how the pitch behaved and how much Washington himself got out of it is quite mind-boggling. India now trail by 154 runs with just three wickets in hand.

India 105/7 in 37 overs

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd Test Day 2: The crowd in Pune has been stunned into silence. The ball stays low, completely bamboozles Ashwin and hits him on the pads. Ashwin looks to flick this away but is completely done by the lack of bounce. The umpire raises the finger straightaway and that is a career-best haul now for Mitchell Santner. India have been just woeful today.

India 103/7 in 35.5 overs

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd Test Day 2: Sarfaraz heaves at Santner, doesn't bother trying to keep the shot down and holes out at mid-off. Another Indian player falls trying to go hard at the bowler despite this being just the first session of Day 2. Latham had brought the man at mid-off in to tempt Sarfaraz into trying to go over the top. Sarfaraz falls for it hook, line and stinker.

Sarfaraz Khan c O'Rourke b Santner 11 (24)

India 95/6 in 34 overs

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd Test Day 2: Phillips bowls the fifth ball of the 33rd, his fourth over, flatter around off, right in the slot for Sarfaraz. It is swept to the midwicket fence for a four. He is on 10 off 19 at the end of that over, Ravindra Jadeja at the other end on four off 10.

India 93/5 in 33 overs

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd Test Day 2: That is quite an ordinary shot from Pant, India are staring down a barrel now. Stayed in line with the pitch of the ball seems to have lost his shape while going for a big ugly across-the-line heave, misses the ball entirely and the stumps are disturbed. India have lost half their side without scoring 100 runs.

Pant b Phillips 18 (19)

India 83/5 in 30.2 overs

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd Test Day 2: Phillips strikes just four balls into his first over! Sent quicker than the previous three balls around off stump, Jaiswal comes forward to defend, it takes the edge and Mitchell takes a good low catch at slips. India really in trouble now.

Jaiswal c Mitchell b Phillips 30 (60)

India 70/4 in 26.4 overs, trail by 188 runs

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd Test Day 2: Glenn Phillips will bowl for the first time in the innings after the break. India are in a spot of bother despite the fact that they have their most in-form batters out there. New Zealand would be keen to break this stand as soon as possible.

India 68/3, trail by 191 runs

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd Test Day 2: And well, this is probably their best bet for once. It is Rishabh Pant who has joined Jaiswal in the middle and these two have been India's form batters in Test cricket for a while now. Kohli may have been a big wicket but New Zealand would know just how important it is to break this stand. Pant is on seven off five balls, having hit a four off Santner last ball of that over in which Kohli fell, Jaiswal on 27 off 55.

India 65/3 in 25 overs, trail by 194

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd Test Day 2: Oh that is just stunning. "So unusual you should put that in a museum," says Ian Smith. It was a nice juicy full toss, Kohli gets down on a knee and tries a haymaker across the line, misses it completely and the ball hits the stumps. He can't believe it, the crowd is hushed into silence. Just the most uncharacteristic Kohli dismissal.

Kohli b Santner 1 (9)

India 56/3 in 23.4 overs, trail by 203 runs

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd Test Day 2: Patel continues from the other end, Jaiswal defends the first ball, the second is too full and the batter cover drives it to the boundary. Jaiswal becomes the second batter after Joe Root to get to 1000 runs in Tests this year. A single for Jaiswal fourth ball and then Kohli gets off the mark off the last ball.

India 56/2 in 23 overs

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd Test Day 2: He doesn't even bother reviewing that, Mitchell Santner has got his man. Gill goes forward to defend, Santner pitches it a little shorter than Gill expected it seems, the ball turned in and hit him on the pads. Paul Reiffel raises his fingers as soon as New Zealand appealed. Big cheers from the crowd after the initial hush as Virat Kohli is the next man in. The former India captain, in fact, almost walks out even before Gill started walking back.

Gill lbw b Santner 30 (72)

India 50/2, trail by 209 runs

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd Test Day 2: Wow Shubman Gill with a showstopper of a shot for four off the fifth ball from Santner in the 20th over. The delivery was short of a length, Gill cramped for space but he pulls it from close to his body over midwicket. Made that look so easy but it was as unconventional a pull as they come. He has been troubled today but not as much as Jaiswal. Gill had been late to jab down on the third ball after seeing late that it is going straight.

Ajaz Patel bowled the previous over and Jaiswal tried to get forward to defend down his last ball. He doesn't quite get to the pitch of it, the ball turns and takes the inside edge and just about beats the fielder at short leg. Jaiswal on 16 off 43, Gill on 30 off 68.

India 46/1 in 20 overs, trail by 213 runs

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd Test Day 2: Southee gets a third over and Gill skips down for this third ball, gets to the pitch of it and sends the ball back over the bowler's head for a six. He has absolutely nailed that shot there. Takes a single off the fifth ball, Gill on 25 off 57, Jaiswal on 11 off 36.

India 34/1 in 17 overs

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 2nd Test Day 2: Both batters know that defending is rife with risks here, lots of variations coming off the pitch for Santner and Southee. Southee ends the 15th over, his second of the day, with a nice juicy half-volley, Jaiswal drives it past mid-off for the first boundary of the day. He moves to 10 off 34, Gill is on 14 off 47.

India 24/1, trail by 235 runs
