Highlights, India vs New Zealand, 2nd Test, Full cricket score: Hosts lead by 332 runs in 2nd innings

17:32 (IST)

So, that's that for the day now. Ajaz Patel might have stolen the spotlight with all 10 wickets in the Indian first innings, but Kiwis'performance in their batting took a major backseat, being bundled out for 62. India have all 10 wickets intact, and enjoy a lead of 332 runs. It will be interesting to see if the hosts manage to wrap up the match on Day 3. Until then, it's goodbye from us!

17:27 (IST)

After 21 overs,India 69/0 ( Mayank Agarwal 38 , Cheteshwar Pujara 29)

Somerville continues, as New Zealand keep on resisting with spinners. Still no breakthrough for the Kiwis, and six runs come off the 21st over. Highlight of the over was Mayank's boundary, thumping a flighted ball over the bowlers' head towards long-off for a four. 

Meanwhile, Tim Southee is seen with the ball for the next over, but the umpires are having a chat with a couple of NZ players. However, the light isn't good and the umpires decide it's stumps on Day 2 courtesy bad light. 

17:15 (IST)

After 20 overs,India 63/0 ( Mayank Agarwal 33 , Cheteshwar Pujara 28)

A slight delay in resumption of play as Mayank is seen getting a treatment from the Indian team physio Nitin Patel. Ajaz is seen having a chat with Somerville, in the meantime. Rachin Ravindra comes into attack for the first time this innings. He concedes a four in the second ball, with Agarwal finding the boundary ropes. 

17:10 (IST)

After 19 overs,India 59/0 ( Mayank Agarwal 29 , Cheteshwar Pujara 28)

Somerville continues. Concedes just three runs in the over, including a brace from Mayank. India gaining momentum here.

16:51 (IST)

After 15 overs,India 50/0 ( Mayank Agarwal 24 , Cheteshwar Pujara 26)

Jamieson continues. Mayank with a big pull shot over midwicket, right from the middle of the bat as the ball races past the boundary ropes. The partnership between Mayank and Pujara is now 50. Players take a breather for drinks break. 

16:39 (IST)

After 12 overs,India 38/0 ( Mayank Agarwal 13 , Cheteshwar Pujara 25)

Ajaz Patel continues. He looks tired, and isn't getting the rhythm he got in the first innings. A short ball in the end of the over, and Pujara pulls over midwicket for a six. Eight runs from the over. 

16:37 (IST)

SIX! Short ball from Ajaz and Pujara pulss over the midwicket fence for a maximum

16:33 (IST)

After 11 overs,India 30/0 ( Mayank Agarwal 12 , Cheteshwar Pujara 18)

Kyle Jamieson into the attack. It's his first over of the second innings. He's failed to make an impact in the first innings, but what can he do now? Maiden to start off his fresh spell. 

16:28 (IST)

After 10 overs,India 30/0 ( Mayank Agarwal 12 , Cheteshwar Pujara 18)

Ajaz Patel continues. Pujara with a single in the first ball of the over, and Mayank too collects a quick single off the fifth ball. 

16:13 (IST)

After 6 overs,India 20/0 ( Mayank Agarwal 5 , Cheteshwar Pujara 15)

Ajaz Patel continues. Pujara with an elegant boundary, opening the face of the bat to drive through deep extra cover for a four. Just the four off it. 

16:11 (IST)

FOUR! Great use of the feet from Pujara, opens the face of the bat and finds the deep extra cover boundary. 

15:57 (IST)

After 1 overs,India 4/0 ( Mayank Agarwal 4 , Cheteshwar Pujara 0)

Tim Southee opens the bowling for New Zealand. Change in India's opening combination as Cheteshwar Pujara opens with Mayank Agarwal. Shubman Gill copped a blow to his head earlier today, so he's not taken field. Four from the over. 

15:45 (IST)

After 29 overs,New Zealand 62/10 ( Ajaz Patel 0 , )

New Zealand's first innings done and dusted in quick time. Ashwin with four wicket, Jamieson the last to depart. Axar got rid of Jamieson, but not without the Kiwi's referral. It was for an edged and caught dismissal by Shreyas at silly point, and UltraEdge confirmed a spike. Fair to say Kiwis missed Williamson terribly today. 

15:42 (IST)

OUT! Caught by Shreyas Iyer at silly point who makes a diving effort to complete the dismissal of Jamieson. Jamieson reviwed this one, but UltraEdge confirmed a spike. 

15:40 (IST)

After 28 overs,New Zealand 62/9 ( Kyle Jamieson 17 , Ajaz Patel 0)

Just when you thought things couldn't get any worse, Somerville makes his long way back after a 26-ball duck. Ashwin grabs his fourth wicket. 

15:36 (IST)

OUT! Easy catch for Mohammed Siraj and it's wicket number four for Ashwin as Somerville departs! 

15:28 (IST)

After 24 overs,New Zealand 60/8 ( Kyle Jamieson 15 , William Somerville 0)

Ashwin is back for a new over. There's an appeal for stumping against Somerville, who glanced down the leg side, but Saha tries to break the stumps. But, seems like Somerville has made his ground. Not Out! 

15:16 (IST)

After 20 overs,New Zealand 53/8 ( Kyle Jamieson 9 , William Somerville 0)

Talk about brilliance. Ashwin is know for exactly that, and he sees off Blundell and Southee in the same over, in a gap of three balls. Remember, NZ need 73 runs to avoid follow on. 

15:14 (IST)

OUT! Caught by substitute Suryakumar and Southee departs. R Ashwin does the damage yet again. 

15:13 (IST)

Caught at slip! R Ashwin the man yet again as he gets rid of Blundell, who is caught by Pujara. 

14:45 (IST)

NZ 38/6 (16.4 overs) 

New Zealand are in real trouble. The turning pitch is proving to be a game-changer in Mumbai, as the Kiwis find themselves at 38/6. They trail India by 287 runs, with just one session remaining in the day now. Do join us for the final session of the day in a few minutes time. 

14:40 (IST)

OUT! Turning ball does it once again. Rachin Ravindra gets the edge, and onto Kohli at the slips. NZ are in all sorts of trouble at the moment. Jayant Yadav gets a wicket in his comeback game. 

14:31 (IST)

After 14 overs,New Zealand 31/5 ( Tom Blundell (W) 0 , Rachin Ravindra 0)

Wicket maiden and how! R Ashwin with a classy over. First, gets rid of Henry Nicholls, who's clean bowled with the ball hitting top of off-stump, and Ashwin continues bowling a few tight ones. 

14:29 (IST)

OUT! BOWLED ÉM! Ashwin sees off Henry Nicholls, who was playing for the turn but completely misses it. There's a gap between bat and pad, and the ball goes to hit top pf off-stump. 

14:26 (IST)

After 13 overs,New Zealand 31/4 ( Henry Nicholls 7 , Tom Blundell (W) 0)

Axar continues. There's an appeal for a run-out as Nicholls attempts to make the second run. And it's an umpire referral. But Nixholls is safely in . Meanwhile, Shubman Gill has endured a big blow on his elbow. The Indian team physio, as a result, has taken Gill off the field for treatment.  

14:10 (IST)

After 9 overs,New Zealand 27/4 ( Henry Nicholls 4 , Tom Blundell (W) 0)

Wicket number four for India as Axar Patel sees off Daryl Mitchell. He's given out right away but the Kiwis opt for the DRS. There's no bat involved in it, and there's three reds as well. Tom Blundell joins Henry Nicholls in the middle. 

14:06 (IST)

OUT! Axar Patel with the wicket of Daryl Mitchell, who is struck LBW. Daryl Mitchell lbw b Axar 8

13:52 (IST)

After 6 overs,New Zealand 21/3 ( Daryl Mitchell 2 , Henry Nicholls 4)

Another eventful over. Siraj with the wicket of Ross Taylor, making it three out of three wickets. With this, he got an opportunity for a hat-trick, and with Nicholls on strike, India passionately go for a review for LBW. UltraEdge says no bat involved, but the ball is pitching outside leg. And it's not out! Four runs and a wicket. 

13:46 (IST)

OUT! The stumps are rattled! You miss, I hit moment for Siraj as Ross Taylor goes for the defensive but the ball ultimately hits top pf the stumps. Siraj has three of three so far! Ross Taylor b Siraj 1

13:43 (IST)

After 5 overs,New Zealand 17/2 ( Daryl Mitchell 2 , Ross Taylor 1)

Umesh Yadav continues. There's an appeal for LBW against Daryl Mitchell. There's no bat involved, as UltraEdge confirms, and it's hitting the pads, but the ball misses the wickets. Decision reversed! Height could have been an issue here. Two runs from the fifth over. 

13:37 (IST)

After 4 overs,New Zealand 15/2 ( Daryl Mitchell 1 , Ross Taylor 0)

Mohammed Siraj with the ball. He does a fine job in getting rid of Will Young (4), who's edged and caught by Kohli at second slip. Double blow for Kiwis as Latham follows suit. Five runs and two wickets in the over. 

13:37 (IST)

OUT! Caught by Shreyas Iyer at deep square leg! Tom Latham falls to the fielder off Siraj's delivery. 

13:30 (IST)

OUT! Early breakthrough for India after Will Young is caught by Captain Kohli at second slip. Will Young c Kohli b Siraj 4

13:26 (IST)

After 2 overs,New Zealand 6/0 ( Tom Latham (C) 2 , Will Young 4)

First over from Umesh Yadav accounted for just one run. In the second over from Siraj, Will Young gets a treatment, after getting hit on top of his left hand. It's just a two-minute halt as Young looks fine to resume. He later collects the first boundary of the NZ innings. 

13:13 (IST)

Time for New Zealand's first innings reply. Tom Latham on strike. Umesh Yadav with the ball. Will Young is the other batter. 

13:13 (IST)

After 110 overs,India 325/10 ( Umesh Yadav 0 , )

Talk about a miracle like this, Ajaz Patel of New Zealand has joined a very elite list of Jim Laker and Anil Kumble to take all 10 wickets in a Test innings. Siraj goes for the loft, getting a top-edge only to find Rachin Ravindra at mid-on. Ajaz gets a standing ovation from the Wankhede crowd, and the likes of Ashwin applaud as well, apart from of course, his own Kiwi teammates. 

Do join us in just a few minutes for NZ's first innings reply. 

13:05 (IST)

OUT! 10 in 10 for Ajaz Patel! Siraj is the last to depart, sliced it to Rachin Ravindra yet again. He joins an elite list of Jim Laker and Anil Kumble in scalping 10-wicket hauls in a Test innings! He's applauded by his Kiwi teammates, as well as some Indians including Ashwin. Siraj c Ravindra b Ajaz Patel 4

12:58 (IST)

OUT! Wicket number nine for Ajaz as Jayant Yadav departs. Caught by Rachin Ravindra 

12:55 (IST)

After 108 overs,India 316/8 ( Jayant Yadav 7 , Umesh Yadav 0)

Ajaz Patel continues. There's an appeal for LBW against Axar. The original decision is not out, so New Zealand opt for the review. And decision reversed! Axar is given out LBW, and it's wicket number eight for Ajaz Patel! The ball makes contact with the pads, and is hitting the middle stump. Umesh Yadav joins Jayant in the middle. 

12:53 (IST)

OUT! LBW! Ajaz Patel gets rid of Axar Patel, leg before wicket. He's given not out initially, but NZ opt for the review. The ball, which had hit Axar's pad, is also hitting off and middle stump. Axar lbw b Ajaz Patel 52

12:37 (IST)

After 103 overs,India 308/7 ( Axar Patel 50 , Jayant Yadav 1)

India may have lost Mayank Agarwal (150), but Axar Patel has just brought up his maiden Test fifty, Somerville's over. 

12:35 (IST)

FIFTY! Maiden Test fifty for Axar Patel. He gets to the milestone with a driving single towards long-off. Well-played knock under pressure. 

12:26 (IST)

After 100 overs,India 291/7 ( Axar Patel 34 , Jayant Yadav 0)

A century of overs completed in the match so far, but a double century is not meant to be for Mayank Agarwal this time. He gets an edge off the bat in Ajaz's ball and nicks it to Blundell, who takes the catch. Wicket number seven for Ajaz, and the Kiwis as well. Jayant Yadav joins Axar Patel in the middle. 

12:24 (IST)

OUT! Edged and caight by Blundell as Agarwal departs for 150! Ajaz Patel with his seventh wicket, more importantly the partnership is broken. Mayank c Blundell b Ajaz Patel 150

12:16 (IST)

After 99 overs,India 286/6 ( Mayank Agarwal 146 , Axar Patel 33)

Will Somerville resumes in the post-lunch session, with Axar Patel facing him. Axar collects a single in the fourth to shift the strike to Mayank, who is on 146*. Just that one run from the over. 

12:13 (IST)

Welcome back to the match. Mayank Agarwal and Axar Patel walk out to the middle to begin the post-lunch session. India will now look at a total beyond 350 as they aim to put a good first innings total. Axar is on strike, with Will Somerville to resume proceedings. 

11:36 (IST)

After 98 overs,India 285/6 ( Mayank Agarwal 146 , Axar Patel 32)

Ajaz continues. Axar collects four byes, with the ball travelling down the leg side with the leg slip fielder failing to stop the ball. Five runs from the over, and that brings us to the end of the first session on Day 2. Despite losing Saha and Ashwin, India would be quite happy with how Mayank and Axar have handled under pressure. The two have forged 61 runs so far for the seventh wicket. Ajaz Patel with all six wickets for New Zealand so far. 

It's lunch time in Mumbai, so do join us in around 40 minutes for the post-lunch session. 

11:30 (IST)

After 97 overs,India 280/6 ( Mayank Agarwal 146 , Axar Patel 31)

Somerville continues. Axar with a brilliant backfoot punch towards sweeper cover, collects three runs. Daryl Mitchell makes a fantastic dive at the boundary ropes to save a run for Kiwis. 

11:21 (IST)

After 94 overs,India 274/6 ( Mayank Agarwal 143 , Axar Patel 28)

Ajaz resumes. Axar Patel in the fifth ball goes for the slog sweep and successfully finds the gap between long-on and deep midwicket for four. A well-controlled shot, right from the middle of the bat that was. That also brings up the 50-run stand between Mayank and Axar.

Day 1 report: Mayank Agarwal’s fifth Test hundred rescued India from a precarious position on Friday as the hosts reached 221-4 at stumps on day one of the second Test against New Zealand.

Agarwal finished the day at 120 not out, while Wriddhiman Saha was unbeaten on 25. Ajaz Patel took 4-73 in 29 overs to put a dent in the Indian top-order, with Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat Kohli both falling for ducks.

India had reached tea at 111-3 at tea after the morning session was washed out due to a wet outfield. The toss was delayed by two-and-a-half hours and play finally got underway at noon local time.

Openers Agarwal and Shubman Gill (44) combined for 80 runs before Patel provided the breakthrough with Gill caught at slip. It sparked a mini-collapse with Pujara clean bowled and Kohli, returning after sitting out the first test, given out to a dubious lbw decision.

But Agarwal rescued India from 80-3 and added 80 runs for the fourth wicket with Shreyas Iyer (18) on either side of tea.

Agarwal then continued showing the same confidence that had helped him break a run of poor form stretching to the last 13 innings.

He struck seven more fours and another two sixes in the final session and countered New Zealand’s spinners with ease using immaculate footwork. Overall, he hit 14 fours and four sixes.

“It was a great knock (from Agarwal)," Gill said. "He was absolutely determined and it was a great innings. To be able to play 250 balls in a day and remain unbeaten is great.”

Shreyas Iyer (18) fell to Patel after adding 80 runs for the fourth wicket with Agarwal. It came against the run of play as the first-test centurion was caught behind.

India was 160-4 at that stage. Saha then helped put on 61 runs for the fifth wicket with Agarwal.

The opener reached his century off 196 deliveries. It was his first test hundred since November 2019, when Agarwal had scored 243 against Bangladesh in Indore.

With Saha, he helped push India’s score past 200 in the 62nd over.
