India suffer defeat by 46 runs as New Zealand dominate on day two of first Test in Bangalore

New Zealand scored 180 for three in their first innings in reply to India’s 46 on the second day of the rain-soaked first Test here on Thursday. India slumped to their lowest ever score in a home Test, bowling just 31.2 overs, with five home batters failing to even open their accounts. Rishabh Pant scored 20 and opener Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 13. None of the other Indian batters scored in double figures. New Zealand, on the other hand, fought strongly and took a 134-run lead by the end of the day’s play.

Devon Conway (91) and Will Young (33) formed a 75-over partnership after the Kiwis lost Tom Latham (15).

Rachin Ravindra (22) and Daryl Mitchell (14) were at the crease when the stumps were drawn for the day due to poor light.

Brief assessments:

India, 1st innings: 46 runs in 31.2 overs (Rishabh Pant 20; Matt Henry 5/15)

New Zealand, 1st innings: 180/3 in 50 overs (Devon Conway 91, Will Young 33; Ravindra Jadeja 1/28, R Ashwin 1/46, Kuldeep Yadav 1/57).
