IND vs NZ 2nd Test: Bowlers give India a chance but batsmen falter again on Day 2

<p>India's top-order frittered away a golden chance with another shoddy batting show as New Zealand regained complete control of the second Test after Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah's hostile fast-bowling spell had given the visitors a slender first-innings lead here on Sunday. Shami (4/81 in 23.1 overs) and Bumrah (3/62 in 22 overs) were brilliant in their execution, dismissing New Zealand for 235 in 73.1 overs as they showed why they are one of deadliest fast bowling pair in Test match cricket but India were reduced to 90 for 6 in the second innings.</p>

‘How can you forget..’: Mohammed Shami slams Jasprit Bumrah’s critics

<p>Mohammed Shami has thrown his weight behind fellow pacer Jasprit Bumrah and has also hit out at detractors for questioning the place of Bumrah in the Indian side after he went wicketless in all three of India's defeats against New Zealand in the One Day Internationals. “I can understand we are discussing on a topic (after a certain length of time) not just after 2-4 games. Just because he hasn't performed in two games, you can't just ignore his ability to win matches,” said Shami. “What Bumrah has achieved for India, how can you even forget that or for that matter ignore it? So if you think positively, then it's good for the player and his confidence also,” he went on to add.</p>

India suffer ODI series whitewash against New Zealand

<p>“This was the first dead rubber for Virat Kohli after 17 series as ODI captain. One expected India would avoid the ignominy of 3-0 whitewash but they were humbled by the host on the same ground where they had registered the 5-0 win in T20 series. India started disastrously by losing top 3 inside 13 overs and for just 62 runs but in-form KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyar rescued India. However, India were always short of 20 odd runs and poor fielding and ordinary bowling, particularly by the seamers ensured India losing by 5 wickets.”</p>

Kohli & Co. aim to avoid whitewash against New Zealand

<p>After 5-0 win in T20 series, India is now on the verge of losing all the matches in the ODI series. They would hate to lose the last match even though series has been decided because only twice (and overall on three occasions) India has been clean swept by host in an ODI series. Last time when it happened against South Africa in 2006-07, Kohli hadn't debuted in ranji trophy! Kohli may have claimed that this ODI series is a bit irrelevant but Tom Latham has said that a 3-0 win against India would be great. India may make few changes like bringing in Shivam Dube in place of Kedar Jadhav(who didn't come for practice today) and maybe Rishabh Pant in place of one of the openers. New Zeland has summoned Ish Sodhi once again while Kane Williamson looks all set to make a comeback.</p>
