After registering 345 runs in the first innings, they restricted New Zealand within 296 runs as well. They again posted 234 runs in the second innings and set a good target for the visitors as well. Meanwhile, India speedster Umesh Yadav took the limelight with an unplayable delivery to Kane Williamson.

However, both Tom Latham and captain Kane Williamson started building the ship in the middle. They added 39 runs before Ashwin bowled Latham. Notably, in the first innings of the first Test, Umesh Yadav trapped Kane Williamson before the stumps. Williamson departed for just 18 runs as well.

And, Williamson’s expression at the video clip showed how good the ball was. Earlier, Team India successfully registered a series win by  3-0 in the three-match T20I series. Now, they are doing well in the Test series too.

After the day’s game, Shreyas Iyer, who smashed a hundred in the first innings and a fifty in the second, said: “I had been in this situation before as well, not with the Indian team but with my Ranji team. Mindset was to play the session and play as many balls as possible. I wasn’t thinking too far ahead, was just focusing on the present. (On being the first Indian to score a ton and a fifty in debut Test) Yeah, I knew about it. When I came back, one of my teammates told me about it.”

He continued: “Yeah, many others have done it from other teams but I was told I am the first from India. It feels good but the most important thing is to win the match. Rahul Sir had told me to bat as many balls as possible and I was determined to do that. We felt that 250 including the first innings lead would have been a good score, so we’re very happy with where we are now. Actually, not a lot was happening with the wicket today, the ball was keeping a bit low. The talk was to get to a competitive total and I feel that it’s a really good total. We have real spin power, so hopefully we can get the job done tomorrow.”
