It wasn't meant to be like this. India are sitting pretty at the top of the World Test Championship standings and the Black Caps hadn't won a Test on Indian shores for over 35 years. But in 31.2 overs with just 46 runs on the scoreboard, the narrative was turned entirely on its head and the home side never properly recovered.
New Zealand showed familiar grit and determination as they batted first in Pune, with Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra once again the bulwarks. Spinning all-rounder Washington Sundar has been added to India's team, though, and brightened the home side's fortunes with seven valuable wickets.
India's batting line-up then capitulated again on an awful Day 2 for Rohit Sharma's men. Mitchel Santner took six scalps on the way to dismissing them for just 156 and now, despite more wickets for Washington, the Black Caps' lead has crept over 300 and still with five wickets remaining.

What is the India vs New Zealand 2nd Test venue?
The second India vs New Zealand Test is taking place at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune — around 80 miles south east of Mumbai.

Test cricket hasn't been played in Pune for five years, which is perhaps surprising considering the massive win against South Africa by an innings in that match. Then-captain Virat Kohli struck a career-best 254 not out, before his bowlers skittled out the Proteas twice.
