India vs New Zealand 2nd ODI Live: NZ 73/5 (24.4 overs) vs IND

Half of the innings is gone, and New Zealand could not get going here in Wellington. Nathan Smith is the next batter to come in, who can also bat a bit if needed, but New Zealand would hope Mitchell and Santner to build something here. The partnership between Latham and Mitchell seemed like a calming influence, but it did not last long because of Latham's poor shot.

India vs New Zealand 2nd ODI Live: NZ 64/5 (23 overs) vs IND

India has been dominating completely here. The choice to go with four seamers and two finger spinners who are all-rounders is a combination which is working very well for them at this point. Brar has taken the wicket of Glenn Phillips. It was a short ball which he pulled, and there was no timing on it, and it was caught at square leg.

India vs New Zealand 2nd ODI Live: NZ 53/5 (19.5 overs) vs IND

Gurnoor Brar has picked up the wicket of Tom Latham. Here, it was a poor shot selection from Latham; he tried to pull the ball on leg-side, which was way outside the off-stump and ended up getting caught at square-leg. Poor from Latham. He did all the hard work while he was in the middle and, in the end, will be disgusted by how that innings came to an end.

India vs New Zealand 2nd ODI Live: NZ 48/3 (17.4 overs) vs IND

Shubman Gill has dropped a chance here. Mitchell crumbled under pressure came down the track and tried to whack the ball on the leg-side and got the leading edge which went high in the air, and Gill at mid-off dropped a simple one. That could have put New Zealand in further trouble. India would hope Mitchell won't make them pay here.

India vs New Zealand 2nd ODI Live: NZ 44/3 (15.1 overs) vs IND

Daryl Mitchell has batted well here. Usually, he tends to not miss out on too many occasions in this format of the game but he did on the previous game. Today he has batted well and looked in pretty solid touch and New Zealand will need his runs for them to put on a good total and Tom Latham also needs to chip in with a good innings.

India vs New Zealand 2nd ODI Live: NZ 42/3 (13.4 overs) vs IND

The sun is out now here in Wellington. Batting will get easier once the moisture on the surface dries out, but the Kiwis have already lost three wickets, so they have to play catch-up. These two, Tom Latham and Daryl Mitchell are pretty experienced players and what they need to here is spend time in the middle bat till around the 20th over mark and take it from there.

India vs New Zealand 2nd ODI Live: NZ 32/3 (11.2 overs) vs IND

The bowling has been pretty tidy from India. Once again nothing magical about it hitting the hard-lenghts and bowling around that fourth-stump channel and waiting for those mistakes from the batters to come and that is the best mode of operation when there is so much help for bowlers. Sometimes bowlers tend to push too much for the wicket, looking for that magic ball end up losing the script.

India vs New Zealand 2nd ODI Live: NZ 23/3 (9.1 overs) vs IND

Anshul Kamboj has picked up the wicket of Nicholls here; the ball was chopped onto the stumps. A dismissal for these conditions: the ball is stopping a bit, and Nicholls could not adjust to the pace of the surface, and the ball went on to the stumps. New Zealand have lost three wickets even before the 10th mark has been reached.

Nov 7, 2026 09:07 AM IST

India vs New Zealand 2nd ODI Live: NZ 12/2 (7.3 overs) vs IND

That was a pretty good delivery from Nabi; it was around the fourth stump channel, which Young seemed to have wanted to guide it towards the third man and it ended up edging to keeper Rahul. The ball is not coming off from Nabi, and the lines he is hitting are quite superb this morning; the conditions are extremely conducive to his bowling.

Nov 7, 2026 08:57 AM IST

India vs New Zealand 2nd ODI Live: NZ 11/2 (5.4 overs) vs IND

What the moisture in the pitch is doing is that it is not letting the ball zing through the surface. Every delivery, the batter is waiting that fraction of a second. The good thing though from the batting perspective there is not a lot of seam and swing on offer from batting perspective it is just the pace of the delivery which is not ideal. As we update, Nabi has picked up Will Young.

Nov 7, 2026 08:48 AM IST

India vs New Zealand 2nd ODI Live: NZ 6/1 (3.4 overs) vs IND

Auqib Nabi has picked up the first wicket here, and it is Seifert the batter who got undone by Nabi. The delivery did seem like it was stuck a bit in the surface while Young tried to work the ball on the leg-side. He got the leading edge and carried it to the mid-off fielder. Early breakthrough here for India; they would keep chipping at the wickets in helpful conditions.

Nov 7, 2026 08:36 AM IST

India vs New Zealand 2nd ODI Live: NZ 0/0 (1.1 overs) vs IND

Well, we are done with the opening over here, and it is a maiden to start with for the Indians. Arshdeep Singh is getting quite a bit of a moment in the middle. These are pretty good conditions to bowl for the Indians. Aquib Nabi, who did not have a decent game in the first one, might extract a lot more here today.

India vs New Zealand 2nd ODI Live Score: Pitch report

"The weather forecast is one of the things we need to look at. There might still be a few showers hanging around, hence you do bowl first in these conditions in case Duckworth-Lewis-Stern gets involved. Dimensions of the ground, we're just a little bit off-centre. 56 metres away to my right, 60m out to the left-hand side and 84 down the ground. So, big hits down the ground and some of the midwicket and extra-cover areas have nice big pockets. That’s where you want the batters to be hitting the ball - down the ground. India did that brilliantly here in that T20 International that they won," reckons Simon Doull.

India vs New Zealand 2nd ODI Live Score: What did Mitchell Santner say at toss

Looks like a lovely day to bowl first, but we'll see how the wicket plays and put up a score. Rain around, it's been under covers, will do a bit. Need to get over the tricky period. We're excited, some weather around and we have had a nice rest. They're a great side, winning the toss does help, but they've played well. Same team for us.

"That's [the tight schedule] the challenge of international cricket. You travel, you have optional sessions. It's more of a mindset... Physically, it's a challenge. But they have played enough cricket, so they know how to react in that situation."

India vs New Zealand 2nd ODI Live Score: Morne Morkel ahead of game

[On managing players across different formats and coordinating their preparations for one-day and Test matches] Our communication to this group has been clear for a long time. We obviously identified this as a big tour. We haven't played the best of white-ball cricket outside India. I think back to England. So we put a big stamp on it on not really coming on this tour and playing a good brand of cricket. So through that, obviously hard work. There's a lot of planning that goes into these sort of games. And then we have to sum up and read the conditions. Today again it might be quite different, quite wet underfoot. So again it's going to be a nice challenge for the boys. [On Mohammed Shami's retirement from Test cricket] Yeah, I was quite fortunate when I first started with the group for Shami to be a part of the team. You know, highly skillful player, a quality guy to have around in the group. And I was quite lucky when I joined for him to bring sort of the Indian language into the dressing room. He helped me quite a lot. So a sad day to see him go. But yeah, I mean, he's still bowling a lot of overs back home and it's still great to see.

India vs New Zealand 2nd ODI Live Score: Morne Morkel ahead of game

[On what he was most pleased about with the bowling performance] The boys reacted to the conditions. It’s quite a rush, after the toss again to get ourselves going. But for me, just sort of, just taking the dimensions out, and the guys just executed the plan quite well, which is pretty good. I think over here in New Zealand, sometimes the fields will tell you what to bowl, but still you need to get the ball in the right areas. [On the general discussions within the group regarding pitches and ground dimensions] I try to keep it more individual sort of based. We'll have a group sit down in terms of what we potentially can expect. But all our guys are differently skilled. So for me it's more tapping into those guys individually at training and warm-ups, and then sort of just a quick chat. They are all skillful. They know their game, they know how to go about their things, it's just aligning all those small little things.

“Yeah, he’s obviously going all right. With a small total, he came out and put pressure on us. We looked to take wickets, but he did really well. We still back ourselves and our skills to obviously get him out. But yeah, it’s an awesome opportunity to play against him, and hopefully we can get one over him soon,” Tickner said ahead of the second ODI.

“Test cricket mere liye sirf ek format nahi, meri zindagi ka ek behad khaas hissa raha hai. Aaj bhaari dil aur anginat khoobsurat yaadon ke saath main Test cricket se retirement lene ka faisla kar raha hoon. (Test cricket was not just a format for me; it was a very special part of my life. Today, with a heavy heart and countless beautiful memories, I have decided to retire from Test cricket),” he added.

India vs New Zealand 2nd ODI Live Score: Irfan Pathan on Mohammed Siraj

"The whole topic of him not bowling well with the older ball, which has gone against him, that should not be the case. When he was bowling with the new ball, he was taking regular wickets. Whenever the time came with the old ball, he was doing his work as far as performances were concerned," the former India all-rounder added.

"His main job is to get wickets. He was at the top of the tree in 2023, talking about ICC rankings. And suddenly things fell out and he went out of the favour. As far as the one day cricket is concerned, right now he's slightly behind, but he will be competing with pure bowlers rather than bowlers who can bat.
