New Zeland were 63 for no loss with both the openers - Latham and Blundell  hardly troubled by Indian pacers. Earlier India was all out for  242 on an eventful opening day of the second Test against New Zealand, at Christchuirch to day.

Prithvi Shaw and Cheteshwar Pujara hit contrasting half-centuries to take the fight to the rival camp. However, Hanuma Vihari's  dismissal at the stroke of tea tilted the scale in New Zealand's favour as they gained a clear upper-hand by stumps.

Kyle in an inspired post-tea spell blew away the middle and lower-order to finish with his maiden five-wicket haul in only his second Test.

From 194 for four with a standard first innings total of 350 looking imminent, India lost five wickets for 22 runs in a period of six overs and it could well have a decisive impact in the final outcome of the contest.

Jamieson, in his post-tea spell, got rid of Pujara, Pant and Umesh Yadav in quick succession as India lost a golden opportunity to press home the advantage.
