**Bengaluru, India:** India continued their dominance over New Zealand in the first Test match of the three-match series, taking control on Day 2 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
The Indian team, led by Rohit Sharma, started their innings on a shaky note, losing three wickets within the first 10 runs. Tim Southee, the New Zealand bowler, proved to be a menace, claiming the wickets of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Sarfaraz Khan.
The day saw the Indian batsmen struggling to find their rhythm against a disciplined New Zealand bowling attack. The Indian score remained close to 30 runs with 3 wickets down at the end of day 2, with Rishabh Pant and Yashasvi Jaiswal at the crease.
The match was marred by rain on Day 1, leading to the cancellation of play. This marked the 13th Test series between the two nations, with India maintaining their undefeated streak against New Zealand in bilateral series on home soil.
The match is expected to continue on Day 3, with India seeking to build on their early advantage and further consolidate their lead in the series. The Kiwis, on the other hand, will be hoping to turn the tide and mount a comeback in the match.
