Pant's attack lifts India on Day 2

November 02, 2024 10:10

India 142-4 (28 ovs) vs NZ 235 | Scorecard

Change in the bowling as off-spinner Glenn Phillips comes into the attack. Gill immediately uses his feet to loft the spinner over long-on but has miscued it high as he fails to time it.

It is an easy catch for substitute Mark Chapman, who leaves everyone shocked as he puts down an easy catch running to his right at long-on.

Gill, on 45, gets a lifeline as New Zealand miss out on an important wicket.

Pant clips the next ball off his pads for a couple of runs and then takes one through the covers before Gill picks one off the last ball to keep strike.

In the next over, Gill keeps out the first three balls before taking one on the off-side.

Pant continues his attack as he reverse sweeps the spinner for a four through the off-side.

He charges down the track to loft Ajaz straight down the ground for his second six, to race to 40 from 29 balls.

The duo have now put on 58 from 57 balls as they now trail New Zealand by 93 runs.

The runs have come quite freely this morning, with India hitting 56 runs from nine overs.
