Devon Conway 91 – Bharat Pulse News

India 46 (Henry 5-15) v New Zealand 180-3 (Conway 91) Day 2: Stumps, Bengaluru - New Zealand lead by 134 runs New Zealand took firm control of the first Test as India crumbled to a record-low 46 in their first innings, with Devon Conway’s resilient 91 steering the visitors to 180/3 at stumps on day two. The Kiwis lead by 134 runs, thanks to brilliant spells from Mark Henry and William O’Rourke, who dismantled India’s batting lineup under gloomy conditions at Bengaluru’s Chinnaswamy Stadium. India Bowled Out for Record Low of 46 India’s collapse began early, as captain Rohit Sharma’s decision to bat first backfired. In conditions that resembled Christchurch more than a subcontinental pitch, New Zealand pacers exploited the conditions perfectly. Mark Henry (5/15) and William O’Rourke (4/22) triggered the Indian downfall, with Rohit falling to Tim Southee’s nip-backer for a duck. India’s innings ended soon after lunch, eclipsing their previous lowest home total of 75, set against the West Indies in 1987. Key Indian batsmen like Virat Kohli (0) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (13) struggled against New Zealand’s high-release bowling, with wickets tumbling quickly. Kohli, batting at No. 3, was caught at leg gully after a rising delivery from O’Rourke, while Sarfaraz Khan’s aggressive approach also ended in disaster as he was caught by Conway. Conway’s Knock Builds New Zealand’s Lead After India’s dismal show, Devon Conway provided New Zealand with stability at the crease. His 91 off 129 balls showcased his ability to handle Indian spinners on a tricky pitch, adding crucial partnerships with Tom Latham (15) and Will Young (33). Conway’s innings, which featured a composed half-century, helped New Zealand build a commanding lead by the end of day two. Although Conway was bowled by Ravichandran Ashwin attempting a reverse sweep, his efforts laid a strong foundation for New Zealand. Daryl Mitchell (14*) and Rachin Ravindra (22*) were unbeaten at stumps, guiding New Zealand to a lead of 134 runs with seven wickets in hand. As India look to bounce back on day three, New Zealand’s control of the match leaves the home side with an uphill battle to avoid further damage in this crucial Test.
