That's a wrap for today. We will be back with the live action tomorrow, right here on NDTV Sports, bringing you the drama from Day 3 of an India-New Zealand Test that promises to be a classic.

Let's hope the rain stays away, and we get three full days of action.

Thank you! Goodbye

The first thing on India's agenda would be to completely forget Day 2, and start afresh on Day 3. If they manage to script magic with the ball and dismiss New Zealand early, they may still have some hope left in the contest.

Even if we do not get action in every session of the day, New Zealand have put themselves in sight of making a historic first. Remember, New Zealand have NEVER won an away Test match in the history of the WTC. If they win this Test, that would be some way to open the account!

There was a lot of doubt regarding the possibility of play today, but the rains stayed away for the most part and nearly a full day's play was possible in the Chinnaswamy. More than 80 overs bowled today. 

A day of Kiwi dominance. With the ball and with the bat. India were skittled for 46, their third-lowest score in Test history. And when they came out to bat, Devon Conway nearly scored double the Indian total by himself (91). New Zealand end Day 2 with a lead of 134 runs, and with 7 wickets in hand.

The umpires take a check with the light metre, and deem that it's not good enough to continue play. Batters and fielders are walking. That should be Stumps on Day 2.

NZ 180/3 (50 overs)

New Zealand have now batted 50 overs. A fiery start in the second session before Tea, a cautious but steady innings post-Tea. 

NZ 180/3 (50 overs)

Another big appeal by India. Bumrah's outswinger just misses Mitchell's bat. It was very close, and all the Indian players went up in appeal. Rohit Sharma showed a bewildered look. Ultraedge confirms no edge.

NZ 178/3 (49.2 overs)

Rachin Ravindra and Daryl Mitchell, both of whom played for Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2024, are proving to be a tough test for India's bowling in Bengaluru. New Zealand steadfast.

NZ 178/3 (49 overs)

Rachin Ravindra and Daryl Mitchell are doing a sturdy job of defending their wicket in what is certainly the final hour of day's play. Floodlights are starting to be turned on. 

NZ 171/3 (46 overs)

Jadeja goes berserk with yet another appeal has he seems to trap Daryl Mitchell on the pads. The umpire remains unmoved. Rohit Sharma chooses not to use a DRS.

NZ 167/3 (43 overs)

Some excellent glovework by Dhruv Jurel after he has come on, as he dismantles the stumps with Rachin Ravindra on strike. Bowler and keeper appeal to the square-leg umpire but no response. India putting the pressure on in the final session now.

NZ 161/3 (41 overs)

Clean bowled! Devon Conway tries a reverse sweep and has no answer. The ball goes clean through, and Ashwin strikes. However, we will have a hawk-eye check to see whether Jurel's gloves hit the stumps first. Replays show it didn't and Conway has to walk back. A fine innings comes to an end.

Devon Conway b Ashwin - 91 (105)

NZ 154/3 (39.1 overs)

This could be a massive blow for India. Wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant has been forced to leave the field. Appears to be his right knee, which is receiving some icing treatment as well. Dhruv Jurel replaces Rishabh Pant as wicket-keeper.

Rachin Ravindra walks into the middle to make it an all-CSK duo in the centre. A CSK man is also starring with the ball, Ravindra Jadeja!

NZ 143/2 (37 overs)

Will Young departs. A battling 33 by Young, but he skies this shot and Kuldeep Yadav makes no mistake at short-fine leg. Ravindra Jadeja strikes with the ball. Much-needed breakthrough for India, just as the partnership was starting to get along.

W Young c Kuldeep b Jadeja - 33 (73)

NZ 142/2 (36.3 overs)

Devon Conway is back in the mood. The left-hander steps out and smashes Kuldeep Yadav for six over long on in the first ball of the over. The over goes from bad to worse for Kuldeep, as Conway picks up another four in the final ball. 14 runs from it.

NZ 142/1 (36 overs)

Oh dear! Difficult chance, Rohit had to dive to his right to hold on to it, but it slips out of his palms. Will Young survives yet again, and this time it's the Indian captain at slip who's missed his chance.

NZ 128/1 (35 overs)

The CSK batter has thrived at the Chinnaswamy. It has been steady but consistent runs from Devon Conway's willow after Tea. He edges on towards a century. He is past 75 now.

NZ 128/1 (34.3 overs)

Rohit Sharma, standing at first slip, sees a chance goes away. The ball bounces just in front of him, and then rolls away for four as he fails to grab it. Chances coming for India, but New Zealand surviving time and time again!

NZ 125/1 (33 overs)

Big mix-up between Conway and Young, but India don't get the throw at the right end. Both batters scrambling to get back, but Jadeja throws at the non-striker's end. The call from Rishabh Pant comes a little too late, and the opportunity goes begging.

NZ 115/1 (31.5 overs)

A fourth boundary after tea for Will Young. Once again, a cut shot between gully and point. Brilliantly timed by Young, who has taken the momentum on.

NZ 115/1 (31.4 overs)

New Zealand going along steadily. Jadeja and Kuldeep getting their moments, but Conway and Young carry along steadfast.

NZ 111-1 (31 overs)

India have lost their second DRS of the innings. The ball is missing the wicket, hawkeye reveals. Rohit Sharma looks to the air in disbelief and agony. Two DRS decisions not going India's way in the matter of a few balls.

NZ 108/1 (29 overs)

Huge appeal by Jadeja, deafening appeal but the umpire shakes his head. Chinnaswamy roars as Rohit asks for a DRS check. Will Young the batter in question once again.

NZ 108/1 (28.2 overs)

Kuldeep traps Will Young on the pads, and the umpire raises his finger after a long appeal by the chinaman bowler. Young takes a DRS immediately, and ultraedge shows a spike on the bat before the ball hit the pad.

NZ 107/1 (28 overs)

Another beautiful cut shot by Will Young results in a boundary. That brings up 100 for New Zealand. They've raced to 103/1 in just 27.1 overs, despite all of India's batting struggles earlier in the morning.

Moments later, the ball misses Young, the stumps and Pant, and runs away for four byes.

NZ 107/1 (27.5 overs)

The ball is swinging and keeping low, but the New Zealand batters are dealing well with the threat of Jasprit Bumrah. Devon Conway has slowed down, but stands strong.

NZ 99/1 (27 overs)

KL Rahul has left the field, and has been replaced by Axar Patel. Meanwhile, Will Young is going on the offensive. Goes over the circle for four through long-on, and then picks up another couple of runs.

NZ 98/1 (26 overs)

Only 8 runs have been scored in the five overs after Tea. A tight start imposed by Bumrah and Kuldeep on the Kiwi batters.

NZ 90/1 (25 overs)

'Bumrah, Bumrah' being chanted by the fans at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. India's pace spearhead, the No. 1 Test bowler in the world as per the ICC rankings, is responded by Will Young with a nice cover drive for four.

NZ 88/1 (23 overs)

After providing the first breakthrough, Kuldeep has taken over from where he left off. A superb first over after Tea. Conway and Young struggling to pick up the chinaman.

NZ 83/1 (22 overs)

A long meeting between the Indian players as they walk out for the third and final session of Day 2. What a day of cricket it has been so far.

New Zealand lead by 36 runs, with Devon Conway unbeaten on 64. Jasprit Bumrah into the attack to kick off the third session. The sun is shining brightly.

This marks the end of the second session of play on Day 2 of the first Test between India and New Zealand. At Tea, New Zealand's score read 82/1 with Devon Conway (61*) and Will Young (5*) standing unbeaten at the crease. For India, Kuldeep Yadav took the only wicket of Tom Latham for 15. Currently, New Zealand lead by 36 runs. 

OUT!!! After a long wait, Kuldeep Yadav finally provides India with a big breakthrough as he dismisses Tom Latham for 15. Kuldeep strikes directly onto the pads of Latham but the on-field umpire signals not out. India then opt for DRS, which shows that Latham was actually LBW out. First wicket gone for New Zealand as the strong partnership between Latham and Devon Conway has been broken. 

NZ 67/1 (17.1 overs)

FIFTY!!! Devon Conway hits a six off Ravichandran Ashwin's delivery and brings up his half-century in style. It is his 10th half-century in the longest format and he brings it up in 54 balls. Great batting from Conway, who is also getting a good support from skipper Tom Latham. India bowlers are desperately aiming for a wicket at the earliest, in order to bounce back in the game. New Zealand lead by 21 runs. 

NZ 67/0 (17 overs)

New Zealand have gone past the fifty-run mark without losing even a single wicket. The duo of Devon Conway and Tom Latham are forming a good partnership and taking their side ahead in the game. On the other hand, Indian bowlers are looking clueless and leaking a lot of runs. They need to break this partnership. 

NZ 53/0 (15 overs)

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE KL RAHUL??? Tom Latham punches a shot through cover off Mohammed Siraj's delivery. The ball goes between Virat Kohli and KL Rahul, who were placed at the slip. The ball was closer to Rahul but he chose to duck it as the shot goes for a boundary. This blunder leaves India skipper Rohit Sharma fuming as New Zealand take lead. 

NZ 48/0 (12.2 overs)

SIX!!! Devon Conway hammers the first six of the day and it comes on the delivery of Ravichandran Ashwin. Conway steps out and middles the loft to send it soaring over wide long-on. Conway is slowly inching closer towards his half-century. India bowlers are struggling to get their first breakthrough. 

NZ 36/0 (10 overs)

New Zealand are having a comfortable outing with the bat as Devon Conway and Tom Latham are dealing in boundaries. In the previous over of Jasprit Bumrah, Conway hammers a boundary. New Zealand are dominating the proceedings. 

NZ 27/0 (7 overs)

The pace duo of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj is not able to provide India with a breakthrough. The dynamic duo of Tom Latham and Devon Conway is playing good cricket and taking New Zealand ahead in the game. In the previous over of Bumrah, Conway hits a boundary as the pacer leaks five runs. 

NZ 22/0 (5 overs)

The opening duo of Devon Conway and Tom Latham are confident in their approach. In the previous of Mohammed Siraj, Conway hammers a brilliant boundary as the pacer concedes four runs. New Zealand are playing attacking cricket and India need a wicket at the earliest, in order to stop the visitors' wrath. 

NZ 10/0 (2 overs)

New Zealand openers Devon Conway and Tom Latham waste no time and get off the mark on the very first delivery of the innings. On the delivery of the dangerous Jasprit Bumrah, Latham hammers it hard as the ball races across the boundary line for a four. The sun is now shinning brightly and New Zealand batters are in no mood to show mercy to Indian bowlers. It will be interesting to see how India bounce back from here. 

NZ 6/0 (1 overs)

Hello and welcome to New Zealand's innings on Day 2 of the first Test against India. For New Zealand, Tom Latham and Devon Conway have started the proceedings. The duo aims to form a good opening partnership and avoid the mistakes which India made in their innings. For India, Jasprit Bumrah will be bowling the first over. The hosts now aim to bounce back with the ball and rectify their mistakes. Let's play!

India have been bundled out for 46 on Day 2 of the first Test against New Zealand in Bengaluru. This is India's lowest score in a Test match at home, surpassing 75 all-out against West Indies in Delhi in 1987. For India, Rishabh Pant was the top-scorer with 20 runs while Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 13. Virat Kohli, Sarfaraz Khan, KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, and Ravichandran Ashwin departed for duck. Skipper Rohit Sharma scored two runs. For New Zealand, Matt Henry took five wickets while William O'Rourke scalped four wickets. Apart from them, Tim Southee has also scalped one wicket. 

After a horrific downfall of the entire batting unit, bowlers Kuldeep Yadav and Mohammed Siraj are showing some resistance with the bat and keeping some hopes for India. The duo aims to take the score as deep as they can and avoid any historic setback for India. On the other hand, New Zealand are just eyeing that one particular wicket, in order to bundle out India at the earliest. 

IND 46/9 (30 overs)

OUT!!! William O'Rourke has taken his fourth wicket of the day and this time, he dismissed Jasprit Bumrah for 1. Bumrah hammers it hard, in order to steal a maximum. However, the shot lacks momentum as it lands into the hands of Matt Henry. It's a terrific dismissal as India lose their ninth wicket. If India lose their another wicket before scoring 10 more run, then it would be the first time that India would be bundled out before 50 in a Test match at home. 

IND 40/9 (26.2 overs)

OUT!!! What is Team India doing? On the very first delivery of the second session, Matt Henry begins from where he left and scalps the wicket of Ravichandran Ashwin for duck. Ashwin tries to play a defensive shot but the ball hits the edge of the bat and travels straight to Glenn Phillips, who then makes no mistakes and takes an excellent catch at the gully. Seventh wicket gone for India as Ashwin joins the duck team. 

IND 34/7 (24 overs)

Hello and welcome to the second session of play on Day 1 of the first Test between India and New Zealand. Before Lunch, India's score read 34/6 with Rishabh Pant (15*) standing unbeaten at the crease. He has now been joined by Ravichandran Ashwin at the crease. In this session, India duo of Ashwin and Pant will look to change gears and bring India some momentum. On other hand, New Zealand are eyeing more wickets, in order to bundle out India at the earliest. Let's play!

Since the inception of Test cricket in India in 1933, Rohit Sharma and co have registered an unwanted feat. This was the first time in the history of Tests in India that they have lost four out of their top seven batters for duck in a match. Virat Kohli (0), Sarfaraz Khan (0), KL Rahul (0), and Ravindra Jadeja (0) were dismissed for duck in the first session. 

This had been a horrific first session for India. With six wickets gone, India are in deep trouble and need a solid partnership to bounce back in the game. This innings has reminded the fans of the horrors of 2021 Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test against Australia, where India got bundled out for 36. Fans pray for India's comeback in the game in the second session. 

This marks the end of the first session of play on Day 1 of the first Test between India and New Zealand. At Lunch, India's score read 34/6 with Rishabh Pant (15*) standing unbeaten at the crease. In the first session, India lost the wickets of their Rohit Sharma (2), Virat Kohli (0), and Sarfaraz Khan (0), Yashasvi Jaiswal (13), KL Rahul (0), and Ravindra Jadeja (0). For New Zealand, William O'Rourke took three wickets while Matt Henry and Tim Southee took two and one wickets respectively.

OUT!!! India have lost their sixth wicket in the form of Ravindra Jadeja, who also departs for duck. Jadeja tries to go big on Matt Henry's delivery but gets bamboozled by the pace as the ball goes up in the air and lands into the hands of Ajaz Patel at the backward point. Sixth wicket gone for India. 

IND 34/6 (23.5 overs)

OUT!!! William O'Rourke has provided New Zealand with their fifth breakthrough as he dismissed KL Rahul for duck. With leg slip and short leg in William O'Rourke persists with the short of length delivery down leg, in fact was slightly fuller than the previous one, KL wanted to get off the mark so he wanted to put bat on ball if it was close to him. Fifth wicket gone for India. 

IND 33/5 (22.4 overs)

OUT!!! William O'Rourke has taken his second wicket of the day as he dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal for 13. Jasiwal tries to go for a big hit, in order to steal a boundary. However, his shot goes towards the backward ooint, where Ajaz Patel shows tremendous effort and takes an excellent catch. Jaiswal walks back to the dugout in disbelief as New Zealand get another wicket with their fielding. Fourth wicket gone for India. 

IND 31/4 (20.5 overs)

As India are clearly struggling to get run against New Zealand's fiery pace attack, the commentators are questioning Rohit Sharma's decision to bat first. The pitch at the Chinnaswamy stadium is clearly favouring the pacers and Jasprit Bumrah would have been terrific for India is such conditions. However, the hopes are still high for India as Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant are standing unbeaten at the crease. 

IND 30/3 (20 overs)

Rishabh Pant and Yashasvi Jaiswal are showing a cautious approach. In the previous over of Matt Henry, the duo did not score any runs. India are on backfoot after losing three wickets in a quick succession but they need to fire as soon as possible. Pant need to hammer some boundaries in the coming overs. 

IND 27/3 (18 overs)

OHOO!!!! What a golden opportunity missed by New Zealand. William O'Rourke was on the verge of providing New Zealand another breakthrough in the form of Rishabh Pant but destiny had other plans in store. The hits the top edge of Pant's bat and it looks like a comfortable catch for the wicketkeeper Tom Blundell behind the stumps. However, Blundell fails to hold it properly as the ball falls down and Pant gets a lifeline. 

IND 17/3 (14.3 overs)

Immediately after the play resumes, Rishabh Pant wastes no times and makes his intentions clear. He hammers a brilliant boundary off William O'Rourke's delivery. Pant reaches out and drives through cover-point and India pick up the first boundary. The duo of Pant and Yashasvi Jaiswal need more boundaries i the coming over, in order to release the pressure. 

IND 17/3 (13 overs)

The rain has stopped and the play has resumed after the brief halt. India currently have Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant standing unbeaten at the crease. The duo need to form a good partnership, in order to bring India back in the game. They will be aiming to get some boundaries to gain the momentum. On the other hand, New Zealand are high on confidence and desperately aiming to bundle out India at the earliest. 

Good news from Bengaluru that the rain has stopped and the covers are coming off. The players are out on the field and currently warming. As per the latest update, the play will resuming at 11:05 AM. In another update, the Lunch break has been postponed and will now take place at 12:00 PM.

7 runs vs NZ, Mohali, 1999

2 runs vs NZ, Ahmedabad, 2010

10 runs vs NZ, Bengaluru, 2024*

The ongoing first session of the first Test between India and New Zealand has been a total nightmare for the hosts. With only 13 runs on the board, India have lost three wickets. The third wicket in the form of Sarfaraz Khan fell with only 10 runs. This is the lowest fall of third wicket for India since September 2018 (2 runs against England at The oval).

IND 13/3 (12.4 overs)

Team India is in deep trouble. The hosts have lost three wickets in a quick succession without even having 20 run on the board. Currently, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant are at the crease and looking to form a good partnership. India now rely on these two batters for a solid partnership, in order to bounce back in the game. On the other hand, New Zealand bowlers aim to break this partnership at the earliest. 

IND 13/3 (12 overs)

OUT!!! Matt Henry has joined the party in style as he dismissed Sarfaraz Khan for duck. Length delivery just outside off, Sarfaraz Khan walked at it and looked to force something, slapped it on the up and got into a horrible position, it hit the bottom edge and lobbed to the right of Devon Conway at extra cover. Absolute stunner from Conway as India lose their third wicket. Rishabh Pant joins Yahsasvi Jaiswal at the crease. 

IND 10/3 (9.4 overs)

OUT!!! William O'Rourke has provided New Zealand with their second breakthrough and he dismissed the big fish Virat Kohli for duck. Kohli gets a short delivery with some extra bounce. Kohli tried to go defensive but the ball hits the glove and goes straight towards Glenn Phillips, who then takes a brilliant catch at leg gully, leaving the crowd stunned. India have lost their second wicket with only nine runs on board. 

IND 9/2 (9 overs)

After the shocking dismissal of Rohit Sharma, one-down India currently have Virat Kohli and Yashasvi Jaiswal at the crease.

However, the ball misses the bat and then rattles up the leg stump as India lose the wicket of their skipper. One first wicket gone for India. 

IND 9/1 (6.3 overs)

Matt Henry is at his absolute best today. He is troubling Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal with his ultimate pace and swing. In his previous over, he literally stunned Jaiswal with his fiery bowling. Jaiswal tries to go defensive but completely fails to judge the speed of the ball. The entire crowd was left tensed after seeing this delivery. 

IND 9/0 (6 overs)

OHHHH!!! That was a close call. Matt Henry was on the verge of providing New Zealand with their first breakthrough with the wicket of Rohit Sharma. Rohit tries to play a defensive shot and the ball hits the pads but the on-field umpire signals not out. New Zealand opt for a DRS review, which ultimately gives the decision as umpire's call. This decision leaves Henry utterly disappointed as he gives an angry look. 

IND 6/0 (3.1 overs)

New Zealand are putting up a dominating show with the ball as India batters are not playing any lose shot. In the previous over of Matt Henry, the duo of Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal score 2 runs as India get off the mark. 

IND 2/0 (2 overs)

India are off to a steady start in the first session on Day 2 of the first Test against New Zealand. The duo of Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal are cautiously assessing the situation.

OH!!! There's a brief delay in start of play of the first Test between India and New Zealand.

The ground staff is currently working to get all the floodlights on, in order to get a proper light during the game.

New Zealand (Playing XI): Tom Latham(c), Devon Conway, Will Young, Rachin Ravindra, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Blundell(w), Glenn Phillips, Matt Henry, Tim Southee, Ajaz Patel, William ORourke

India (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma(c), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Sarfaraz Khan, Rishabh Pant(w), Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj

"Wicket has been under covers so hopefully we can make good use of it early with the ball. Bit of weather around, so we haven't had a great prep here. Three seamers with Ajaz Patel and we have two all-rounders who bowl spin too."

"We are going to have a bat first. It has been under the covers and we do understand that it could be slightly sticky early on but the nature of the pitch is such that you would want to put runs on the board first. You want to get the result as much as we want. We assess where we are decide what needs to be done as a team. We have played well in the last few Test matches. Fresh series for us and we want to start well. From the last Test two changes, Gill misses out, Sarfaraz comes in. Kuldeep comes in for Akash."

India skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to bat against New Zealand on Day 2 of the first Test in Bengaluru.

"Great drainage. No reminiscence at all that it rained. It has been under the covers, which means it has a lot of dampness. It is quite cold when you tough it. When you touch is slightly harder it is dry underneath. New ball could nip around early on and the spinners could get some help as well," - opine Simon Doull and Murali Kartik

As per the current visuals, batter Sarfaraz Khan can be seen warming up and taking some catches at the second slip. On the other hand, batter Shubman Gill cannot be seen practicing. He had suffered a stiff neck and there were reports that he would be missing the first Test against New Zealand. 

There's a good news coming in from Bengaluru that the weather is currently clear and the players are out on field. India skipper Rohit Sharma and star batter Virat Kohli and roaming on the field and even practicing some shots. The toss will be taking place at 8:45 as per the schedule. 

Looks good to go

As Day 1 of the match got abandoned due to rain, the toss between India and New Zealand will take place at 8:45 AM in Bengaluru on Day 2. 

The match officials came out to inspect the pitch around 2 PM after outfield and first layer of covers were removed around 1.50 PM. But there were large damp areas on either side of the pitch as hessians were brought out in a last-ditch attempt to get some game time. However, it was a futile effort as extensive damage was already done by rains of varying intensity from early morning.

Unrelenting rain wiped out play on day one of the opening Test between India and New Zealand on Wednesday. The play was called off at 2.34 PM as heavy rain lashed the M Chinnaswamy Stadium after relenting for about half an hour earlier. However, the players and fans are hoping of an uninterrupted play on Day 2. 

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of Day 2 of the first Test between India and New Zealand, straight from M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru. Stay tuned for all the updates.
