IND vs NZ Live Score: Day 2, Session 1 in a nutshell

India's frailties against spin came to the fore again as a shocking collapse saw the hosts slip to 107 for 7 at lunch against New Zealand on the second day of the second Test, leaving them trailing by another 152 runs in the first innings.

If it was trial by pace and seam in the Bengaluru Test which led to the team's first loss to New Zealand at home in 36 years, it was regulation spin on a low-bounce surface that exposed the Indian batters in Friday's morning session.

On a low and turning wicket, Indian batters lacked in application and sound judgement as elementary mistakes saw the team staring at an enormous task of reducing the deficit and stay in the contest.

Resuming at 16/1, India lost six wickets for a mere 91 runs in the first session.

The biggest shock arrived in the 24th over when their batting superstar Virat Kohli missed a juicy full-toss from Mitchell Santner (4/36) to be cleaned up for a nine-ball 1.

The sight of Kohli missing an innocuous full toss angling into his wickets, going past his awkwardly swinging bat to crash into the middle and leg stumps and leaving the batter stare at the ground beneath him in utter despair, was something that will linger for some time to come.

As he trudged back with the MCA Stadium here descending into eerie silence, the only respite Kohli perhaps got was the giant screen not playing replays of his horror dismissal until he had crossed the boundary ropes on his way back.

Yashasvi Jaiswal had done fairly well to reach 30 with four boundaries but going with hard hands to defend a delivery outside off, spinning away from his bat to take an edge to the first slip, gave Glenn Phillips his first wicket.

But as if all that wasn't enough, Rishabh Pant's (18) failure to read the lack of bounce while going for a mighty heave across the line against the part-time spin of Phillips, resulted in the ball crashing into his off-stump, leaving India in a desperate situation at 83 for five.

Sarfaraz Khan (11), whose recent outings include 222 not out in Irani Cup and 150 in the last innings at Bengaluru, only had himself to blame after recklessly hitting one straight to mid-off for William O'Rourke to grab an easy catch, off Santner.

Santner, who triggered the collapse by trapping Shubman Gill (30) for the first wicket of the day, kept chipping away as he pinned R Ashwin (4) leg-before off the one that kept low shortly before the break.

The hosts started the day on the overnight score of 16 for 1 and needed a big partnership to put the Kiwis under pressure.

But instead, spinners Mitchell Santner and Glenn Phillips came up with their A-game, running through the Indian batting order.

While Santner bagged four, Phillips grabbed a couple of wickets in the session as India batting order collapsed like a pack of cards.

Virat Kohli fell for 1 while Rishabh Pant and Sarfaraz Khan for 18 and 11 respectively after Shubman Gill (30) and Yashasvi Jaiswal's (30) steady start.

India are still 152 runs behind with Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar unbeaten on11 and 2 respectively at the break.

Ind vs NZ Live Score: A pleasant morning in Pune

After New Zealand folded for 259 on Day 1, they managed to get rid of Rohit Sharma (9-ball duck), late in the third session.

With Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill on 6 and 10 respectively, India ended the day at 16 for one, trailing by another 243 runs.

The match is nicely poised and the second day will be quite crucial for both the teams.

While India will look to take a substantial lead, the Kiwis will focussing to bundle out the hosts as soon as they can.

If India manage to bat throughout the day, they will definitely put the Kiwis on the backfoot in this contest.

The pitch hasn't misbehaved yet but has provided decent turn and bounce.

The sun is partially out, for now, in Pune and it is going to be a thrilling day!

Washington Sundar's inclusion in the second Test against New Zealand was termed as an "inspired selection" by former captain Sunil Gavaskar. Sundar replaced Kuldeep Yadav for the crucial match at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. Despite initial criticism, Sundar delivered an impressive performance, taking his first five-wicket haul in Test cricket and achieving his best figures in the format.

During the Test, Sundar dismissed key New Zealand batters including Rachin Ravindra, Tom Blundell, and Glenn Phillips. He took his fifth wicket by bowling out Tim Southee. At this point, Gavaskar, who was commentating, said, "What an inspired selection. He is picked in the XI because he can bat a little bit, bowl a little bit.”

India vs New Zealand Live Score: Eyes on Kiwi spinners

With spinners Washington Sundar and R Ashwin wreaking havoc on the opening day itself, all eyes will be on Ajaz Patel and Mitchell Santner on the second day of the Test.

Part-timer Glenn Phillips is also an option for the Kiwis but Ajaz and Santner have got to do the heavy lifting for the visitors.

Tim Southee did manage to send India skipper Rohit Sharma packing for a duck late last evening but on Day 2, spinners are expected to play a major role.

For India, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill will be key early as they will look to build a solid partnership.

After the Kiwis were dismissed for 259, can India take a decent lead on the second day?

Ind vs NZ Live Score: Sundar figures

After the conclusion of Day 1 of the second Test against New Zealand in Pune, a large section of the crowd chose to stay back at the stadium to watch Virat Kohli practice.

The atmosphere remained electric as fans eagerly observed Kohli's extended session in the nets, where the star batter worked on his technique and fine-tuned his skills.

His dedication and focus delighted the spectators, who cheered him on, turning a routine practice into a memorable experience for those present.

India captain Rohit Sharma endured another failure in Test cricket, getting dismissed for a duck on the first day of the second Test against New Zealand in Pune on Thursday.

Kiwi pacer Tim Southee silenced the Pune crowd with a stunning delivery that sent Rohit packing. Rohit was completely squared up in defense as the ball moved away off the seam.

Delivered on a good length around middle and off, he attempted to defend from the crease but was caught off guard as it nipped away slightly. The ball slipped past the edge and clipped the top of off stump after a slight deflection off his back pad.

Rishabh Pant is a livewire on the field, bringing energy to the atmosphere with his thrilling shots while batting and his entertaining antics behind the wickets.

In a hilarious turn of events that unfolded during the first day's play of the second Test against New Zealand in Pune, Pant was caught on the stump mic telling spinner Washington Sundar to bowl a bit fuller to Kiwi tailender Ajaz Patel.

"Washi aage daal sakta you can bowl a little fuller, thoda bahar daal sakta hai," Pant came up with a suggestion to Sundar.

Sundar seemed to have followed Pant's advice, delivering a tossed-up ball that turned out to be a bit too straight. Ajaz Patel swung through the line, and the ball flew to the right of mid-on, racing away for four runs.
