14:17 (IST)

After 30 overs,India 80/3 ( Mayank Agarwal 32 , Shreyas Iyer 0)

Ajaz returns. There's a review for LBW against Pujara. UltraEdge shows a gap between bat and ball. The ball is pitching in line, and impact's in line but the wickets are missing. NZ lose their review. But, guess what? The very next ball Pujara is cleaned up by Ajaz. He has to depart and captain Kohli comes in at number four. There's another review for LBW against Kohli in the same over, and it's a tough call. Seemed like there was a slight spike in UltraEdge but the TV umpire says he did not find any conclusive evidence for a 'bat first'. Hawkeye shows all reds, and Kohli has to go. Shreyas Iyer is the new batter. Talk about insane drama! 

14:14 (IST)

OUT! Kohli's dismissed leg before off that man Ajaz Patel once again. India opt for the review, but third umpire does not find a conclusive evidence for 'bat first'despite what seemed like a slight spike in UltraEdge. Hawkeye confirms four reds, and Kohli has to depart. Kohli lbw b Ajaz Patel 0

Somerville resumes. Just four runs from the over including two leg byes. India seem in a quite comfortable position at the moment, but it's time for players to have a drink.

13:14 (IST)

After 16 overs,India 45/0 ( Mayank Agarwal 21 , Shubman Gill 24)

Injury update: Injuries to Ishant Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja and Ajinkya Rahane mean that the trio has been ruled out of the second Test.

09:19 (IST)

Pitch report: There's a bit of moisture usually, but this might hold because it's been under the covers. This will certainly spin, because I can see cracks and these will open up with the sun out. Because of the moisture on Day 1, there will be seam, so if you bat first you have to bat well, but you don't want to bat last. This might be a good toss to lose.

08:48 (IST)

08:45 (IST)

/After their hard-earned draw at Kanpur in which the last-wicket pair defied a world-class attack under fading light, New Zealand enter the second and final Test against India in Mumbai full of belief and with their eyes set on the glittering trophy, which few would have backed Kane Williamson’s side to lift at the end of the tour.

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the opening day of the second Test between India and New Zealand in Mumbai, with the series still wide open after the first match in Kanpur ended in a thrilling draw.

India vs New Zealand Live Score, Final Cricket Score and Live Streaming, Latest Updates: Ajaz returns. There's a review for LBW against Pujara. UltraEdge shows a gap between bat and ball. The ball is pitching in line, and impact's in line but the wickets are missing. NZ lose their review. But, guess what? The very next ball Pujara is cleaned up by Ajaz. He has to depart and captain Kohli comes in at number four. There's another review for LBW against Kohli in the same over, and it's a tough call. Seemed like there was a slight spike in UltraEdge but the TV umpire says he did not find any conclusive evidence for a 'bat first'. Hawkeye shows all reds, and Kohli has to go. Shreyas Iyer is the new batter. Talk about insane drama!

Preview: India take on New Zealand in the 2nd Test at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

After a thrilling first Test in Kanpur, the action now shifts to Mumbai. It's a chance for the Kiwis to win their first Test series in India. They would be looking to carry forward the confidence from the Kanpur Test where they managed to save the Test thanks to some resilient batting by their spin trio — Will Somerville, Ajaz Patel and Rachin Ravindra.

They would want their middle order to step up in Mumbai. The likes of Kane Williamson, Ross Taylor, Henry Nicholls and Tom Blundell didn't contribute much and hence they were left on the back foot for most of the match. Opener Tom Latham impressed in both the innings. He played spin well and will again be a threat for India.

The Kiwi bowlers bowled decently but they need to get the Indian lower-order out early.

India, on the other hand, have batting problems of their own. They depended on Shreyas Iyer and the lower order to bail them out during the Kanpur Test. The bowlers, though, bowled with great heart and nearly won the game for the hosts. With Shreyas Iyer shining on debut and Virat Kohli back for the Mumbai Test, there is a huge selection dilemma for India. Pujara and Rahane have been under pressure for some time and they didn't help their cause as they got decent starts but couldn't convert them. Rahane scored 35 and 4 while Pujara scored 26 and 22.

Virat Kohli and Kane Williamson are poles apart in their demeanour. AFP

Kohli will be back at No 4. It will be difficult to drop Iyer after he scored a century and a fifty on debut. The options for India might be to drop one of Pujara or Rahane, or drop an opener — either Shubman Gill or Mayank Agarwal — and open with Pujara. Saha is fit but will he make it to the starting eleven? Or will India go with KS Bharat who has opened the batting in domestic cricket as well? There are so many questions.

With overcast conditions in Mumbai, both teams would be looking to play an extra seamer.

This means the Kiwis would have to drop one of the spin trio and bring in Neil Wagner. While India might ponder playing Mohammed Siraj in place of one of the three spinners.

There is forecast for rain on Day 1 but the weather will get better on the rest of the days.

With India looking to continue their unbeaten run at home and Kiwis looking for their first series win, we can expect a cracker.
