Thrilling Collapse: India’s Dramatic Fall to 156 All Out Against New Zealand – Live Score, 2nd Test Day 2
India’s batting lineup faltered on Day 2 of the second Test against New Zealand in Pune, succumbing to the exceptional bowling of Mitchell Santner. Beginning their innings at 16/1, India was all out for a mere 156, trailing New Zealand’s first innings score of 259 by 103 runs. Santner, who had never taken more than three wickets in a Test innings, delivered an exceptional performance with figures of 7/53. Glenn Phillips complemented Santner’s efforts, claiming two wickets. The lone dismissal for New Zealand on Day 1 was captained by Rohit Sharma, taken by Tim Southee for a duck.
Shubman Gill initially demonstrated promise, crafting a partnership of 49 runs with Yashasvi Jaiswal for the second wicket. However, Santner curtailed Gill’s innings at 30 off 72 balls. The Indian middle order collapsed considerably around the drinks break, with Virat Kohli bowled out by a Santner full toss and both Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant falling to Phillips soon after.
In New Zealand’s innings, Washington Sundar was pivotal, taking seven wickets for 59 runs, restricting New Zealand to 259 after early breakthroughs from R Ashwin. Devon Conway stood out with a noteworthy 76, while Rachin Ravindra contributed 65. Sundar remarked on his remarkable spell, emphasizing gratitude for his opportunity to play and the strategic adjustments he made on the lively pitch.
As the match progresses, India’s primary challenge lies in overcoming the significant 103-run deficit, trailing by 152 runs at lunch with their score at 107/7. The pitch’s evolving nature poses additional questions for both teams moving forward in this tightly contested Test series.
