New Zealand were in the driver's seat at stumps on Day 2 of the Christchurch Test as the Kiwis bowlers made regular breakthrough's to leave India reeling at 90-6 in their second innings

New Delhi: New Zealand seized the advantage at stumps on Day 2 of the second Test against India at Christchurch as the Kiwis bowlers made massive inroads into the visitors top order, reducing them to 90-6 . At stumps, Hanuma Vihari was unbeaten on 5 and wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant was giving him company at the crease on 1. After the Indian bowlers bundled out the hosts for 235 in their first innings and took a slender 7-run lead over the hosts at Tea, New Zealand struck back in the post tea session by making early inroads into the Indian batting after left-arm seamer Trent Boult trapped opener Mayank Agarwal leg before wicket for 14. India were in more trouble when Prithvi Shaw fell to Southee for 14, leaving India at 26 for 2. Skipper Kohli's lean patch with the willow continued when medium pacer Colin Grandhomme trapped the Indian skipper leg before wicket. There was another top order failure on display with Ajinkya Rahane chopping one of Neil Wagner onto his stumps. When Boult cartwheeled Pujara's stumps, the hosts were in the driver's seat and commanding position to dictate terms. It was a collective display of aggressive seam bowling by the Kiwis as all their bowlers had a wicket each to their name.Meanwhile, Pujara was the lone Indian batsman who showed some grit and determination.
