IND vs NZ, 2nd Test, Day 2: Kiwis In Dominant Position At Stumps As India Reel At 90-6

New Zealand ended Day 2 of the second Test against India at Christchurch in a dominant position as the Kiwis bowlers made massive inroads into the visitors top order, reducing them to 90-6. At stumps, Hanuma Vihari was unbeaten on 5 and wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant was giving him company at the crease on 1. After the Indian bowlers bundled out the hosts for 235 in their first innings and took a slender 7-run lead over the hosts at Tea, New Zealand struck back in the post tea session by making early inroads into the Indian batting after left-arm seamer Trent Boult trapped opener Mayank Agarwal leg before wicket for 14. India were in more trouble when Prithvi Shaw fell to Southee for 14, leaving India at 26 for 2. Skipper Kohli's lean patch with the willow continued when medium pacer Colin Grandhomme trapped the Indian skipper leg before wicket. There was another top order failure on display with Ajinkya Rahane chopping one of Neil Wagner onto his stumps. When Boult cartwheeled Pujara's stumps, the hosts were in the driver's seat and commanding position to dictate terms.
