India 46 all out as Henry and Conway create New Zealand’s dream day

India were bowled out for 46 by New Zealand on day two of the first Test in Bengaluru.

After the entire first day was washed out by rain, India chose to bat on a lively, seaming pitch and were dismissed for the third-lowest total in their Test history.

Virat Kohli, Sarfaraz Khan, KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin were all out for ducks, with seamers Matt Henry and Will O’Rourke taking 5-15 and 4-22 respectively.

Rishabh Pant with 20 and Yashasvi Jaiswal, who made 13, were the only batters to make double figures for India, who are top of the World Test Championship standings.

It was India’s lowest total in a home Test, only beaten by their 36 all out against Australia in Adelaide in 2020 and 42 against England at Lord’s in 1974.

New Zealand reached 180-3 by the close, giving them complete control of the Test with a lead of 134.

Tom Latham and Devon Conway went beyond the hosts’ score with an opening partnership of 67 and Conway continued to make a 105-ball 91. (BBC)
