1st Test: Henry & Conway Star In NZ’s Day Out As India Record Lowest Total At Home (ld)
New Zealand Test: For the fans itching to watch Test cricket action in Bengaluru, the wait was long. Day one of the India-New Zealand Test saw them see the rain hold fort. Day two could have gone down that route, but the cricketing Gods finally blessed the Bengaluru fans with Test match action.
But the wishes of sparse fans to see India dominate New Zealand didn’t pan out as per their expectations as under overcast skies, which made conditions more of England and less of India, especially with the pitch mostly under covers, New Zealand's fast bowlers bowled out India for 46, their lowest Test score at home and third fewest overall.
With the bat, opener Devon Conway's stroke-filled 91 on a pitch which eased out for batting helped New Zealand end day two’s play at 180/3 and lead India by 134 runs. With the ball hooping around, Matt Henry’s 5-15 and William O’Rourke’s 4-22 ensured New Zealand gained upper hand as the much-famed Indian batting line-up wilted due to lack of application under overcast skies.
