India vs New Zealand (IND vs NZ) 2nd Test, Day 2 Live Score Online Streaming Updates: After opting to bat, India reached 221/4 at the end of the rain-affected first day at the Wankhede Stadium.
India vs New Zealand (IND vs NZ) 2nd Test, Day 2 Live Score Online Streaming Updates: India will resume their first innings on 221/4 on the second day of the second and final Test against New Zealand at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Saturday.
Mayank Agarwal (120*) hit a gritty hundred to rescue the hosts after New Zealand left-arm spinner Ajaz Patel (4/73) had put them in a spot of bother with three quick wickets on the weather-hit first day. At stumps, Wriddhiman Saha kept the opener company on 25*. Earlier, both Shubman Gill (44) and Shreyas Iyer (18) partnered Agarwal for two separate 80-run stands. On the other hand, both Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat Kohli were dismissed on ducks as India were reduced to 80/3 from 80/0 at one point.
Both sides were dealt injury blows before the Test with the tourists losing captain Kane Williamson to an elbow problem while the hosts lost Ajinkya Rahane, who led the side in Kanpur in Kohli’s absence, Ravindra Jadeja and Ishant Sharma. The opening Test ended in a thrilling draw, with New Zealand’s last batting pair hanging on in the final session to deny the hosts a victory.

“In the first Test in Kanpur, New Zealand left-arm spinner Ajaz Patel had unflattering match figures of 3/150 from 46.1 overs. In the second match in Mumbai, it took him only a couple of overs to bring India crashing down from 80/0 to 80/3. Those strikes included the coveted wickets of Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat Kohli for ducks.” | READ MORE |

Virat Kohli didn’t have a happy return to red-ball cricket as he failed to open his account in the second Test against New Zealand at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Friday. The skipper, who was given LBW off Ajaz Patel’s bowling, decided to take the DRS — it was touch and go — and there was no conclusive evidence to overturn the on-field decision.
“In his first eight Tests, split equally home and abroad, Mayank Agarwal had two double centuries, a ton and three fifties. Then he had a quiet couple of games in Australia, and found himself behind Shubman Gill in the queue. Then he got hit on the head by Mohammed Siraj in England. KL Rahul returned and rediscovered himself in the longest format. Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma was being, well, Rohit Sharma. If one plays basically one format for India, like Agarwal does at the moment, to be slotted as back-up Test opener is possibly the hardest position in the game to be in.” | READ MORE |
