New Zealand vs India, 2nd Test, India tour of New Zealand

What to expect on Day 2? India need wickets and that too quickly if they have to make a comeback. New Zealand, however then again, would want to continue to drain the runs and take charge in this game. Day 2 vows to be another enthralling day of Test cricket. Join us on Sunday, first March 2020 at 1130 Local (2230 GMT, Earlier day) for the subsequent day. Up to that point, take care. 

Presently, coming to the bowling of India. They were not as acceptable as their counterparts. Blundell and Latham drained them for runs and they need their bowlers to step up on Day 2, to stand any chance of making a comeback in this game. Bumrah and Umesh were disappointing while Shami bowled well in the few overs that he bowled. Overall, it was another terrible showing from the Indians. New Zealand vs indian 5th T20I

India, then again, would be disappointed with their overall performance. They failed miserably with the bat and barring Shaw, Vihari and Pujara, nobody indicated any application and were expelled cheaply. Virat Kohli failed once more on this tour while Agarwal and Rahane, the batters who played well in the main Test, too failed to get moving in the primary innings. India and New Zealand, Live Score, 1st Test in Wellington

After a slight rain delay, the Kiwis started the day brilliantly with the early wicket of Mayank Agarwal and then after a small partnership between Pujara and Shaw, the Kiwis sent back Shaw, Kohli and Rahane quickly. There was a partnership of 81 runs between Pujara and Vihari but the wicket of the latter opened the floodgates and India were bowled out for only 242. Kyle Jamieson was the pick of the bowlers with a 5-fer and he was well bolstered by Wagner, Boult and Southee. 

What a day for the hosts! They have had a near perfect day. After bowling out India for 242, Latham and Blundell finish the day unscathed with a score of 63, trailing by only 179. Both the openers are looking acceptable out there and look set for a major score.

Presently, India have a tough ask on their hands and with Ishant Sharma missing, they need their other bowlers to step up and convey. They would need to take early wickets otherwise it is going to be another troublesome game for them. Can they restrict the Kiwis or will the hosts make happy right now?

India, on the other hand, would be disappointed with their performance. They once again lost their first wicket early and since then, Shaw and Pujara got them on track but a Southee burst after Lunch put the visitors on the back foot. Hanuma Vihari joined Cheteshwar Pujara out in the center and stitched a counter-attacking partnership of 81, but once Vihari fell after his fifty, it all went downhill and eventually wound up a score of 242. India tour of New Zealand, 2020 1st ODI

What did New Zealand have for Tea? They have absolutely overwhelmed the Indians after the Tea break. India were going strong at one stage when Vihari and Pujara were batting but once Vihari fell just before the break, it was a procession. Jamieson was the star with the ball. He was a little off-shading earlier but once he came out after Tea, he was an alternate bowler. Kyle started with ricocheting out Pujara and then got the scalps of Pant and Jadeja to finish with a 5-fer. It was a brilliant spell from him and was all around supported by Boult and Southee. Wagner was economical and took the important wicket of Hanuma Vihari India beat New Zealand by 7 runs
