[caption id=“attachment_10186661” align=“alignnone” width=“640”] India vs New Zealand Live Score of today’s Ind vs NZ 2nd Test Match latest updates. AP[/caption] India, who declared its second innings at 276-7 to set a 540-run target for the Black Caps, started losing wickets after lunch. Shubman Gill (47) and Virat Kohli (36) did manage to put on 82 runs for the third wicket but New Zealand’s spinners continued doing the work for the touring side as Ajaz Patel finished with 4-106 following his historic 10-for in the first innings. Rachin Ravindra (3-56) also got into the act, dismissing both Kohli and Gill. Patel got rid of Shreyas Iyer (14) and Jayant Yadav (6) as India lost four wickets for 41 runs. Patel finished with a match haul of 14 wickets for 225 runs for the best match haul in test cricket for any visiting bowler in India. The previous best was Englishman Ian Botham’s 13 wickets for 106 runs in 1980, also in Mumbai. Facing a mammoth total, New Zealand then collapsed under India’s spin pressure. Ravichandran Ashwin (3-27) opened the bowling and trapped Tom Latham (6) lbw. He also had Will Young (20) caught at forward short leg while Ross Taylor (6) played a surprising slog sweep and was caught to leave New Zealand reeling on 55-3. Daryl Mitchell (60) managed to resist the Indian spin attack to reach a half-century, helping New Zealand cross the 100-run mark and put on 73 runs for the fourth wicket with Henry Nicholls. But Axar Patel (1-42) struck before stumps to remove Mitchell and then Tom Blundell was run-out for a duck to leave the Black Caps faltering. At stumps, Nicholls was unbeaten on 36 runs with Rachin Ravindra (2 not out) for company. “The way Agarwal played in both innings for India, he set the template for how I personally wanted to try and go about, taking on the Indian spinners today," Said Mitchell. “Disappointing to not still be out there and kick on but it was nice to get a partnership going. It’s a pretty challenging surface. The ball is definitely turning there with your name on it.” On Saturday, India took control of the test by reaching 69-0 in its second innings at stumps after bowling New Zealand out for 62. The first test ended in a draw. With inputs from AP

After 56.3 overs,New Zealand 167/10 ( Ajaz Patel 0 , )
Done and dusted! India clinch yet another Test series on home soil, beating New Zealand convincingly by 372 runs in the second Test in Mumbai. Henry Nicholls is stumped by Wriddhiman Saha off Ashwin’s ball in the third ball of the 57th over, and that is that. India get their first Test series win after Rahul Dravid’s appointment as head coach.
After 54 overs, New Zealand 165/6 ( Somerville 0, Nicholls 43)
Jayant strikes twice in the 54th over of the chase, getting rid of Kyle Jamieson and Tim Southee. It’s just a matter of some time now, before India actually wrap this contest up now. Will Somerville is the new batter but Nicholls (43*) is still hanging in there. Two runs and two wickets.
After 52 overs, New Zealand 162/6 ( Jamieson 0, Nicholls 42)
Eight runs come off Jayant’s over but the major talking point is another wicket. Rachin Ravindra is the latest NZ victim to depart, getting an edge off the bat to gift it to Pujara at second slip. India need four wickets to win now. Kyle Jamieson is the new batter.
After 51 overs, New Zealand 154/5 ( Ravindra 10, Nicholls 42)
Ashwin resumes. Nicholls with a sweep that sees him clear the deep square leg boundary for a four. He timed that to perfection in that one. With that boundary, Nicholls is into his 40s.
After 48 overs, New Zealand 148/5 ( Ravindra 10, Nicholls 36)
Expensive over from Jayant Yadav with eight runs coming off it. Two fours from Ravindra, but the major highlight was an LBW appeal in the fourth ball. Original decision is not out, but Kohli decides against a review. Replays showed the ball pitching on the middle stump, but with a bit of turn. Had India taken the review, it would have been umpire’s call and they would have retained the review.
After 46 overs, New Zealand 140/5 ( Ravindra 2, Nicholls 36)
Jayant Yadav with the ball first up today. Rachin Ravindra faces him. Jayant produces turn and bounce, much like how commentator Simon Duoll predicted at the pitch report some minutes back. Maiden over to start off the day.
India’s middle-order worries going into South Africa series remained but that didn’t deter Ravichandran Ashwin from turning the heat on as his three quick blows left New Zealand tottering at 140 for five in pursuit of an impossible 540 on day three of the second Test.
While Daryl Mitchell (60 off 92 balls) and Henry Nicholls (36 batting) added 73 runs for the fourth wicket, there is no denying that India in all likelihood will finish it early on the fourth day with Ashwin (3/27) looking menacing after every passing over.
What will hurt New Zealand team most in this defeat is the fact that this is the game where one of its own — Ajaz Patel, equalled the world record and grabbed a match-haul of 14 wickets, something that no one has ever done against India in Test cricket.
