Hamilton, New Zealand
England's hopes of a series clean sweep all but evaporated on Sunday as they capitulated on day two of the third Test to trail New Zealand by 340 runs. The home side skittled England for 143 before reaching 136-3 by stumps in their second innings in Hamilton, enjoying easily their best day of a series in which they had been outplayed until now.
Kane Williamson was at the crease on 50 and Rachin Ravindra two.
Williamson put on 89 for the second wicket with Will Young (60) following the departure of captain Tom Latham for 19.

Scoreless nightwatchman Will O'Rourke gave England captain Ben Stokes (2-45) a second wicket soon before the close.
New Zealand's controlled strokeplay in the final session was in contrast to chaotic English batting between lunch and tea where they lost their last eight wickets for 66 runs.
Pace bowler O'Rourke (3-33) ripped out three key wickets in a ferocious spell after lunch, before Matt Henry (4-48) and Mitchell Santner (3-7) instigated a late collapse.
Jacob Bethell (12) was the first to fall to O'Rourke, caught at point, before the towering quick prised out the ICC ranked first and second-best Test batters, Harry Brook and Joe Root.
After scoring match-changing centuries in each of the two big England wins, in Christchurch and Wellington, Brook lasted only one ball.
He played on to an in-swinger, prompting a roar of approval from the small crowd on a hot, still day at Seddon Park.
Root departed for 32 in O'Rourke's next over, caught at point off a limp cut shot from a delivery that bounced sharply.
Santner reinforced New Zealand's commanding position by removing Ollie Pope (24) and Stokes (27) in his first seven deliveries after the pair had put on 52 for the sixth wicket.
Pope edged to Daryl Mitchell at first slip before Stokes departed lbw, losing balance as he attempted a sweep shot.
The last five wickets fell for nine runs but, ahead by 204 runs, New Zealand declined the opportunity to enforce the follow-on.
Earlier, England reached 54-2 at lunch.
Zak Crawley fell to Henry for the fifth time in five innings this series, caught-and-bowled for 21 to continue a miserable run of form.
Crawley's score was his highest of the series, having managed only managed 47 runs at an average of 9.6.
The impressive Henry struck again in the same over, trapping fellow opener Ben Duckett lbw for 11.
England had taken more than an hour to claim the last New Zealand wicket after the home side resumed their first innings at 315-9.
New Zealand faced a further 15.1 overs and scored 32 runs before top-scorer Santner was bowled for 76 by Matthew Potts (4-90), having added 26 to his overnight score.

Rohit Sharma owned up to misjudging the Bengaluru pitch following the second day’s play, where the Indian batters surrendered to top-notch&nbsp;bowling from the New Zealand seamers in the first session of the first Test. With day one called off due to rain and the pitch remaining covered for the most part since yesterday, India decided to bat first, only for them to register their lowest Test total at home – 46. &nbsp;

The Kiwi seamers made merry on this Bengaluru surface, with all three of Tim Southee (1), Matt Henry (5) and William O'Rourke (4) picking ten wickets among each other. New Zealand reduced India to 13 for three before the first rain interruption, with Rohit, Virat Kohli (0), and Sarfaraz Khan (0) returning to the pavilion.

Soon after the game resumed, the left-handed pair of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant tried saving the sinking ship but failed, with Henry and rookie pacer O'Rourke tearing into India’s middle order. KL Rahul and the all-rounder pair of Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin got out without troubling the scoreboard.

It was about time before New Zealand wrapped up India’s first innings on 46 – their third-lowest Test total.

“You see and you try and make the judgment. Sometimes you make the right call, sometimes you don't, and I was on the other side of it this time around,” Rohit Sharma admitted after the second day's play in Bengaluru.&nbsp;

“I'm hurting a little bit because I made that call. But see, for us as a team, I think these are the challenges.

“So, what if we put ourselves under pressure a little bit? We want to play well. We want to challenge ourselves. This time around, it didn't come off, the challenges that were thrown at us. We didn't respond well, and we found ourselves in a situation where we got bowled out for 46 runs. As a captain, it definitely hurts to see that number, but in 365 days you'll make two or three bad calls. That's okay,” he continued.

<h2>Rohit wants India to fight back</h2>

New Zealand openers were on target in their first innings, adding 67 for the first wicket. Though they lost three wickets before stumps on day two, including their top-scorer Devon Conway on 91, the Kiwis took a lead of 134 runs with seven wickets remaining.

With India on the backfoot as things stand, Rohit admitted India will not let New Zealand get away with the lead or any momentum. He said the hosts would fight back, and with the wicket looking like settling down, they could up the ante and push for a result in their favour.&nbsp;

“I think for us to stay in the game, we want to not let them get away,” he said.&nbsp;

“[They've scored] Way too many runs, clearly they're 180, so that's about 140 runs [134], so [keep them] as less as possible. The wicket seems to be settling down a little bit, so we expect the pitch to play like that. We got to bat really big in the second and try and see if we can make a game out of that,” Rohit continued.&nbsp;

IND v NZ 1st Test: Rohit Sharma admits ‘misjudging’ Bengaluru pitch after horror show with bat on day 2

New Zealand’s Devon Conway and Matt Henry headlined day two of the first Test in Bengaluru as the tourists floored India with a 134-run lead. India decided to bat first after winning the toss on an overcast morning, losing wickets upfront and getting all out on 46 - their lowest total at home. While Rishabh Pant top-scored with 20 runs, five batters got out on a duck, including Virat Kohli and KL Rahul.

Henry picked a five&nbsp;for New Zealand, returning with five for 22, while rookie seamer William O'Rourke bagged four wickets, continuing his golden run in Asia. Former skipper Tim Southee also picked the&nbsp;wicket of India captain Rohit Sharma.&nbsp;

India’s 46 is their third-lowest Test total ever and the lowest by a team in Asia.

New Zealand wrapped up day two on 180 for three, leading by 134 runs. Conway was the Kiwis’ best batter, slamming a stunning 91 off 105, including 11 fours and three sixes. Will Young, who replaced injured Kane Williamson in the XI, scored 33 runs, while veteran batter Tom Latham hit a gritty 15 off 49 balls.&nbsp;

Meanwhile, New Zealand openers dodged the new-ball threat, with both left-handers deploying the cautious approach. While Latham maintained his ground at one end, Conway attacked the opposition. The pair added 67 runs for the wicket before Kuldeep Yadav broke the stand.&nbsp;

Young and Conway stitched 75 runs for the second wicket before Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin picked a wicket each to reduce their total to 154 for three.&nbsp; 
 
Rachin Ravindra and Daryl Mitchell stood tall till the end, looking confident in their approach.

<h2>Misfielding and Pant’s injury</h2>

India had a horrible day at work in Bengaluru, both with the bat and while fielding. Unlike the New Zealand fielders, who impressed one and all with their efforts, the Indians made several mistakes, including misfielding and lost chances.

Besides, star batter Pant suffered an untimely blow to his right knee, the same knee that underwent surgery following his road accident. Pant dropped to the ground immediately, with the medical staff rushing to the spot to check on him.&nbsp;

After little assessment, Pant was taken off the field with substitute keeper Dhruv Jurel coming in as his replacement.&nbsp;

IND v NZ 1st Test: Conway, Henry headline day two in Bengaluru as New Zealand in driver's seat

The Indian Team registered their lowest Test total at home and third-lowest ever after getting all out on 46 in the first innings of the Bengaluru Test against New Zealand. After the first day got called off due to rain, the proceedings began on day two, with India captain Rohit Sharma winning the toss and electing to bat first. With overcast overhead conditions, the Kiwi bowlers made the most of it, picking early wickets upfront.

Former Test captain Tim Southee drew first blood by removing Rohit bowled on two. Batting at number three this time, Virat got out a nine-ball duck, with rookie seamer William ORourke picking his wicket. Fellow pacer Matt Henry made things worse for India by removing Sarfaraz Khan out on zero, with India’s scorecard reading 13 for three before rain interrupted play again.

Things didn’t change enough for the hosts after the play resumed.

Henry and ORourke tore into India’s middle order to reduce their total to 39 for eight soon after. Of the top eight, five batters got out on zero, including Virat, Sarfaraz, KL Rahul and the two all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin.

Although India got off to a horrible start, they still managed to surpass their lowest Test total—36 against Australia in Adelaide.&nbsp;

Six of India’s lowest team totals in this format have come in Australia and England, and their lowest at home before this came against the West Indies in Delhi in 1987.&nbsp;

Meanwhile, the 23-year-old ORourke, who impressed everyone with his tight line and length and nippy incoming deliveries in Sri Lanka, continues doing so, picking four for 22 in 12 overs.

On the other hand, Henry picked five wickets for 15.

New Zealand resumed batted in the first innings.

The Indian Team registered their lowest Test total at home and third-lowest ever after getting all out on 46 in the first innings of the Bengaluru Test against New Zealand.

The Indian Team registered their lowest Test total at home and third-lowest ever after getting all out on 46 in the first innings of the Bengaluru Test against New Zealand. After the first day got called off due to rain, the proceedings began on day two, with India captain Rohit Sharma winning the toss and electing to bat first. With overcast overhead conditions, the Kiwi bowlers made the most of it, picking early wickets upfront. Former Test captain Tim Southee drew first blood by removing Rohit bowled on two. Batting at number three this time, Virat got out a nine-ball duck, with rookie seamer William ORourke picking his wicket. Fellow pacer Matt Henry made things worse for India by removing Sarfaraz Khan out on zero, with India’s scorecard reading 13 for three before rain interrupted play again.

Henry and ORourke tore into India’s middle order to reduce their total to 39 for eight soon after. Of the top eight, five batters got out on zero, including Virat, Sarfaraz, KL Rahul and the two all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin. Although India got off to a horrible start, they still managed to surpass their lowest Test total—36 against Australia in Adelaide. Six of India’s lowest team totals in this format have come in Australia and England, and their lowest at home before this came against the West Indies in Delhi in 1987. Meanwhile, the 23-year-old ORourke, who impressed everyone with his tight line and length and nippy incoming deliveries in Sri Lanka, continues doing so, picking four for 22 in 12 overs. On the other hand, Henry picked five wickets for 15. Here is how the internet reacted - 1st time in history of Tests,a team has got allout under 50 in Asia — Sashank (@sas_3343) October 17, 2024 × India's 46 all out is the second lowest total in history by a team that chose to bat in a home Test. Lowest is 42 by NZ vs Aus in Wellington in 1946. — Mazher Arshad (@MazherArshad) October 17, 2024 × 46 is India's lowest total at home. The only other time 5 Indian players got out on duck in same innings at home was at Mohali in 1999-also vs NZ. That was Kapil Dev's first Test as coach. India,however, managed to draw the Test and could have actually won it #INDvsNZ #INDvNZ — Rajneesh Gupta (@rgcricket) October 17, 2024 × Wow I thought New Zealand were playing in India and not the other way around #IndvNZ — Bharat Sundaresan (@beastieboy07) October 17, 2024 × New Zealand resumed batted in the first innings.
