Opener Devon Conway struck a fluent 91 as New Zealand took a 134-run lead on second day of their first Test against India in Bengaluru on Thursday.
Conway’s heroics with the bat came after the Indians were bowled out for a partly 46 – their third lowest test score and lowest ever at home – in just 31.2 overs after Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to bat first in overcast conditions.
Matt Henry took a five-wicket haul, while William O’Rourke struck four times as the Indian batters failed to counter the conditions, which aided fast bowling at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
A total of five batters – Virat Kohli, Sarfaraz Khan, KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, and Ashwin Ravichandran – fell for ducks in what was a terrible show with the bat.
Rishabh Pant top scored with 20 off 49 deliveries and Yashashvi Jaiswal scored 13 off 63 even as others failed to touch double digits.
