India vs New Zealand, 2nd Test, Day 1

India lost skipper Rohit Sharma early in their first innings when stumps were drawn on Day 1 of the second Test on Thursday. India crawled to 16/1 in 11 overs with Yashasvi Jaiswal (6 not out) and Shubman Gill (10 not out) at the crease, trailing by another 243 runs in the first innings.

Tim Southee cleaned up Rohit Sharma for a nine-ball duck, forcing the hosts to be extra cautious with the debacle of first innings in the Bengaluru Test still fresh in the minds. India were bowled out for a mere 46 runs in the first innings of the Bengaluru Test, creating an unwanted record. It was India’s lowest score in a Test match in on home soil.
