IND v NZ 2024, 2nd Test, Day 2: New Zealand rock India with six wickets inside first session
New Zealand spinner Mitchell Santner picked four wickets, including star batter Virat Kohli, to rock India in the first session of day two of the second Test in Pune. The hosts began proceedings on day two on 16 for one, with their scorecard at lunch reading 107 for seven. All-rounder Glenn Phillips bagged the remaining two wickets in the session by removing two lefties - Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant.
India began cautiously, with the returning Shubman Gill and Jaiswal doing their best to stay on the crease. Although both struck a couple of boundaries, including Gill’s coming-down-the-track six off Tim Southee, Santner broke the camel’s back with an incredible spell.
Included for the injured Matt Henry for this Test, Santner first made inroads with a handy contribution from the bat late on day one, hitting a gritty 33, he dented India’s morale with four wickets inside the first session the next day. The left-arm orthodox first removed Gill, trapped in the front on 30, then accounted for Kohli, who got deceived in a flight, getting bowled while playing an unlike-Kohli shot on just one.
With two left-handers on the crease, Captain Latham introduced right-arm spinner Phillips. In no time, he got rid of Jaiswal, caught in the first slip on 30, later dismissing dangerous Pant, bowled on 18.

The previous game's hero, Sarfaraz Khan, couldn’t repeat his heroics here, as he got out similarly as in the first game, with Santner picking his wicket on 11. The left-arm spinner dismissed Ravichandran Ashwin next on four, trapped in the front, to reduce India to 103 for seven.
Two all-rounders, Ravindra Jadeja and India’s first-inning hero Washington Sundar, are at the crease, with the hosts trailing by 152 runs.
Meanwhile, New Zealand won the first Test in Bengaluru by eight wickets, taking a one-nil lead in this three-match series.
