India vs New Zealand – 2nd Test – Live Cricket Score and Match Update – India trail by 82 runs with 5 wickets remaining by end of Day 2
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754’s Tim Southee and Doug Bracewell combined to form a lethal pace attack which tore through India’s top order before Virat Kohli and Suresh Raina dug their heels in to bring their team’s first innings back on track, on the second day of the ongoing
second Test match between the two teams, today on September 1 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore.
New Zealand started the second day at 328 for 6, with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Z-Khan-c98379 dismissed him in the 86th over, and Bracewell (who brought
his individual total up to 43) was run out by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Khan-c71319 soon after, in the 88th over.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/TG-Southee-c2659 (14) – to finish with figures of 28.1-10-99-5. By the end of their innings,
the Black Caps finished, all out, at 365.
Much like the tourists’ innings, India’s turn at bat got off to a shaky start, with Southee (15-4-35-3) sweeping in to claim the wicket of opener http://www.senore.com/Cricket/G-Gambhir-c1447 (2) in the 4th over, leaving India at 5 for 1.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/CA-Pujara-c1209, who contributed a brilliant century in the first match, remained lacklustre this time around, managing a meagre 9-run contribution before Southee claimed him for his second victim of the day, sent back to the pavilion in the 10th
over, caught out by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Trent-Boult-c2708.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Tendulkar-c2556 (17) before Bracewell (15-4-66-2) intervened to send both batsmen packing by the 24th over, leaving
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 reeling at 80 for 4.
However, the Men in Blue found some much-needed respite in the partnership between http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SK-Raina-c2539 (55), which yielded 99 runs and got the team total up to 179 before Raina was sent packing by Southee.
He was followed to the crease by skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028 (46*), whose as yet unbeaten 104-run stand with Kohli got the team up to 283 by stumps on Day 2 – trailing by 82 runs with 5 wickets remaining.
