Mitchell Santner delivered a stunning performance, taking seven wickets for 53 runs, as New Zealand bowled out India for just 156 runs. By the end of day two in the second Test in Pune, the visitors had reached 198 for five, establishing a commanding lead of 301 runs in the match. Tom Latham contributed significantly to New Zealand's innings with a solid 86 runs, while Tom Blundell remained not out on 30 and Glenn Phillips added nine runs. The Black Caps, who secured an eight-wicket victory in the series opener, had previously scored 259 in their first innings, further solidifying their position in the three-match series.

India suffered a shocking collapse, posting their lowest-ever Test score on home soil as they were bowled out for just 46 runs against New Zealand in the first Test in Bengaluru. The second day of the match saw the Indian batting lineup crumble under pressure, with Matt Henry and William O’Rourke leading the charge for the visitors. After rain washed out the opening day, India opted to bat first, a decision they would soon regret. Henry was the standout performer, claiming five wickets for just 15 runs, while O’Rourke supported him well with figures of four for 22. This dismal performance marks India's third lowest total in Test history, narrowly surpassing their infamous scores of 36 in Australia in 2020 and 42 in England 50 years ago. The Indian team, led by captain Rohit Sharma, will be looking to regroup after this devastating innings. Further updates on the match will follow.
