2nd Test: New Zealand Stretch Lead To 188 At Tea
Captain Tom Latham: Captain Tom Latham looked solid in his 37 not out as New Zealand stretched their lead to 188 at tea after left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner’s career-best spell of 7-53 bowled out India for 156 on day two of second Test at the MCA Stadium on Friday.
After India conceded a lead of 103 runs, it wasn’t a surprise to see them start with spin from both ends. But New Zealand were positive in their batting approach – taking singles to keep the scoreboard moving, use their feet well and pounce on anything which fetched them boundaries.
Latham’s proactiveness was evident from the time he brought out the cover-drive and glance off Ravichandran Ashwin for two fours, followed by Devon Conway nailing a loft down the ground and sweep off him for similar result.
