IND vs NZ Day 2 Live Score: STUMPS!!! 

STUMPS DAY 2! New Zealand leads by 301 runs as day two ends, extending their first innings lead of 103 runs. India is in serious trouble at home. India resumed at 16/1 with Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill, who added 49 runs before Gill was trapped LBW by Mitchell Santner. Both scored 30, but then India collapsed. Santner took 7/53, bowling India out for just 156 runs in 45.3 overs. Star players like Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant fell to poor shots. Glenn Phillips also chipped in with a couple of wickets.

Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar tried to stabilize the innings but couldn't push the score much higher. For New Zealand, Devon Conway and Tom Latham provided a decent start. Sundar took Conway’s wicket, but Latham anchored the innings, supported by Will Young, Daryl Mitchell, and Tom Blundell. Sundar was India's standout bowler, taking four wickets, with Ashwin claiming the other. Latham missed out on a century.

IND vs NZ Day 2 Live Score: Will Young Gone!!!

WICKETT!!! India appeals for lbw, and Richard Illingworth raises his finger. The delivery is a good length at 95 kmph, pitching outside off and spinning into middle stump. Young is beaten on the inside edge while trying to flick and is hit on the back pad. It's a fair delivery with no bat involved. The ball tracking shows three reds, confirming Illingworth's call. OUT! Young goes, wasting a review, while Ashwin claims his first wicket and India secures their second.

IND vs NZ Day 2 Live Score: Rishabh Pant Departs!

WICKET! Silence falls over Pune as another Indian batter makes a poor choice and gets out! Phillips celebrates a crucial dismissal, with half of the Indian side already back in the dugout. A good-length ball on middle and off keeps low as Pant attempts a pull shot. He misses the ball, and his stumps are uprooted. He lost his shape and didn't transfer his weight properly, leading to his downfall. It's a key moment as India continues to collapse!

IND vs NZ, Day 1: Recap

New Zealand won the toss and opted to bat first ahead of the game. They made a steady star and the third wicket partnership between Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra looked specially threatening for the team. However, the Indian bowlers kept chipping away with regular wickets and kept the team in the game. Washington Sundar's arrival to the bowling crease gradually changed the complexion of the match. The all-rounder picked up seven wickets and played a crucial role in bundling out the visitors for 259.

India had to bat a total of 11 overs on Day 1. The batters looked circumspect and cautious. Playing against their nature also resulted in the wicket of Rohit Sharma who did not trouble the scorers in the nine deliveries he played. However, Jaiswal and Gill ensured that India suffered no further damage. The two young batters will start the proceedings for the team on Day 2 as India will look to build from their current position of 16/1.
