India vs New Zealand 1st Test Day 2: Hello and welcome to the of the second day of the opening Test between India and New Zealand at the Basin Reserve in Wellington.

Skipper Kane Williamson made sure New Zealand didn't let the efforts of the bowlers go in vain as the hosts collected 99 runs in the afternoon session and further strengthened their position on Day Two of the first Test against India at the Basin Reserve.

At Tea break on Saturday, New Zealand was 116/2 and trailing by 49 runs in reply to India's first-innings total of 165. Resuming the session at 17/0, New Zealand lost Tom Latham (11) early as he was caught down the leg-side by Rishabh Pant off the bowling of Ishant Sharma. Williamson, however, then joined forces with Tom Blundell (30) and shared a 47-run partnership before the opener was undone by a brilliant delivery from Sharma. Ross Taylor, playing his 100th Test for New Zealand, took the attack to the Indian bowlers right from the word go and kept on collecting runs at a brisk pace. [Live Scorecard | Live Streaming]
