The dismissal occurred in the second ball of 34th over as he reached out to drive a flighted delivery from Ravichandran Ashwin. However, Tom Latham only scooped in the year to chip it to Virat Kohli. The 32-year old timed his leap currently to take the catch, delivering for India their first breakthrough. It was a much-needed one for India as the Kiwis made a strong start.

Earlier, Black Caps seamer Kyle Jamieson snared a five-wicket haul as India managed a little underwhelming total of 217. Virat Kohli was at the crease when India ended day two on 146-3; however, he was the first one to go today morning, departing without adding to his 44. Vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane was the top scorer with 49. Sadly, none of the Indian batsmen reached 50.
