India vs New Zealand 2nd Test Live Score, Commentary - IND v NZL Second Test Teams

Second and last test match between host India and New Zealand will be played from Friday, 31st August to Tuesday, 4th September, 2012 M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore and the timing will be 04:00 GMT, 9:30 IST. India leading the 2 match series by 1-0.

India had dominated the entire 1st test with both bat and ball. Chitteshwar Pujara made a solid come back after injury with a brilliant century while R Ashwin and Pragyan Ojha bowled really well in the spin friendly pitch. India has a good chance to make a clean sweep as the Bangalore pitch will be similar.

New Zealand has to overcome the fear of spin as they were totally clueless against the spin as none of their batsmen were able to fight. Guptil, McCullum and captain Ross Taylor needs to play with patience and give solid platform for the otherwise in experience line-up.

Indian Playing 11 for the 2nd test at Bengaluru:

Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Sachin Tendulkar, Chitteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni, Suresh Raina/S Badrinath, Zaheer Khan, R Ashwin, Pragyan Ojha, Umesh Yadav.

New Zealand Playing 11 for the 2nd test at Bengaluru:

Martin Guptill, Brendon McCullum, Kane Williamson, Ross Taylor (capt), Daniel Flynn, James Franklin, Kruger van Wyk (wk), Doug Bracewell, Tim Southee, Jeetan Patel/ Tarun Nethula, Chris Martin.

India v New Zealand 1st Test Live Score, Commentary - IND v NZL First Test 2nd Day Teams

First test match between host India and New Zealand will start from Thursday, 23rd August, 2012 at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Uppal, Hyderabad and timing will be 04:00 GMT, 9:30 IST.

India is playing first test since the retirement of Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman and now they definately have less experience in the middle order and now lot of pressure will come on Tendulkar, Pujara and Dhoni. Pitch will supposed to be in favour of spinners so     

New Zealand will definately miss services of Daniel Vettori on the spinner friendly pitches as they have very new spin attack against strong batting line up. They will highly depend on Ross Taylor, Brandon McCullum and Guptill to score big runs.

Indian Playing 11 for the 1st test at Hyderabad:
Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Sachin Tendulkar, Chitteshwar Pujara, MS Dhoni, Suresh Raina/S Badrinath, Zaheer Khan, Ishant Sharma, R Ashwin, Ishant Sharma/ Pragyan Ojha, Umesh Yadav.
