The weather is currently cloudy in Pune's MCA Stadium and the temperature is around 20 degrees Celsius which is set to increase as the hours will pass. It will be a clear day for play and the temperature will decline as night approaches.

It is a pleasant morning in Pune and things are going as planned without any disturbance from the weather. The pitch has some grip and bowlers might try to use the most of that. Tim Southee was the first seamer to take a wicket on Day 1 as he dismissed the Indian captain for a duck. India are 16/1 after 11 overs and will resume their batting soon.

Little bit gloomy this morning. The end we are standing on has been tough for the batters, all 10 wickets have come from this pavilion end. The pitch hasn’t changed too much. There will be turn to a large extent but what’s important is the speeds at which bowlers operate. There isn’t much moisture but what Indian batters needs to deal with is the natural variation off the pitch. Still tough conditions from a batting point of view, enough in it for the bowlers.

Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill are at the crease as they look to bring down the 243-run lead set by the Kiwis.

The first over of the day saw Shubman Gill survive a close DRS call off Mitchell Santner's bowling. The ball hit Gill's pads and as the Kiwis took a review, the replay showed the ball hitting the stumps and it was Umpire's Call.

IND - 24/1; NZ - 259

Half-an-hour in the day's play and India have not lost a single wicket. Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal have been defensive but have scored an odd boundary. The hosts still trail by 200-plus runs.

IND - 39/1; NZ - 259

India have been dealt a double blow early this morning as the likes of Shubman Gill (30) and Virat Kohli (1) have walked back to the pavillion. Mitchell Santner has troubled the Indian batters and his length and patience has been paid due.

IND - 60/3; NZ - 259

Kiwis are all over the Indian team like a rash. What started as a brilliant morning, has turned sour with three wickets including the star batter Virat Kohli. Yashasvi Jaiswal is the latest to depart leaving India in tatters at the moment.

IND - 72/4; NZ - 259

Rishabh Pant walks back now as India are five down in Pune with half their side back in the hut. Glenn Phillips has taken some important wickets in this series, and this one is right up there, given the context of this session.

IND - 85/5; NZ - 259

India are in deep trouble and could get bundled under 150. Sarfaraz Khan, who was batting with a positive intent, has been bowled by Mitchell Santner. Kiwis' fine morning continues as Rohit Sharma and co are left to rue their strategy.

IND - 95/6; NZ - 259

Kiwis have taken this Test match by the scruff of the neck with Mitchell Santner's best figures, rocking back the hosts to 107/7 on day 2 of the 2nd Test between India and New Zealand in Pune. The hosts still trail by 152 runs and have Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar at the crease.

IND - 107/7; NZ - 259

Is that Steven O'Keefe in disguise? Mitchell Santner delivers 7/53 to bowl India out for 156, handing a hefty 103 lead to the visitors. Despite some huge blows in the end by Washington Sundar, India never recovered from their poor batting and are on the verge of losing their first series at home since 2012.

IND - 156; NZ - 259

Tom Latham and Devon Conway have started off well in their second innings as the Kiwis have raced to 24 runs in the five overs. India look shaken and perturbed on the field. Rohit Sharma needs to take stock of things and calm things down.

IND - 156; NZ - 24/0, 259

Devon Conway was the first wicket to fall in the NZ second innings as Washington Sundar trapped the southpaw. However, the visitors are still in the driver's seat with a hefty lead. India need wickets but it doesn't seem to be anything happening for the hosts.

IND - 156; NZ - 37/1, 259

India's grip on the Test match is slightly slipping away as Kiwis build on their 103-run lead. As Ian Smith pointed on-air, the hosts look desperate in the field and are just waiting for a wicket to fall rather than dry up the run. Tom Latham is batting beautifully and another 70-80 runs tonight, could put the visitors in pole position.

IND - 156; NZ - 66/1, 259

Will Young departed for a well-made 23 as Ravichandran Ashwin trapped the Kiwi batter plumb LBW. Young reviewed the decision but upon review, the ball seemed to have hitting the stumps as three reds were shown on the screen.

IND - 156; NZ - 78/2, 259

At tea, New Zealand are 85 for the loss of two wickets and a healthy lead of 188. Who could have imagined that? India look out of ideas and desperate on the field, with some edges falling short of slips.

IND - 156; NZ - 85/2, 259

Post-tea India needed wickets and Washington Sundar has provided the breakthrough in the form of Rachin Ravindra, who was looking solid. The ball dips on him, as the batter looked to cut away. Ideal start for the hosts after the break.

IND - 156; NZ - 89/3, 259

NZ skipper Tom Latham has scored a well-made half-century and steered his side's lead past 250 in the second innings. Indian bowlers look flat as the visitors gain control of this Test match and the series.

IND - 156; NZ - 147/4, 259

Kiwis' lead has swelled and is reaching 300 -run mark. India look flat and deflated. Nothing seems to have been happening for them at the moment. Rohit Sharma's bowlers look out of sorts and they will need to bat out of their skins to win this Test.

IND - 156; NZ - 170/4, 259

Tom Latham approaching a well-made century, a century that could help his side win this Test and series. NZ have not won a series here since 1988 but Latham could just write his name in the record books. What a knock from the southpaw.

NZ came into this Test without any win in Sri Lanka, lost their best player in Kane Williamson to injury and were up against the mighty Indian spinners. But cricket is a funny old game!

IND - 156; NZ - 182/4, 259

NZ skipper Tom Latham was adjudged LBW for 86 as the Kiwis lost their fifth wicket in the second innings. Despite five down, they hold a hefty lead of over 250-plus and are fast approaching 300 runs.

IND - 156; NZ - 183/5, 259

Lead has touched 300 as the Kiwis look determined as ever to win this Test and the series. Indians look flat and deflated and it is shown in their bowling and body language. The Kiwis are having a ball out there. Stumps around the corner.
