Opener Devon Conway: Opener Devon Conway dazzled with his eye-catchy boundaries before falling nine runs short of a century as New Zealand ended day two’s play in the first Test against India at 180/3 in 50 overs and lead by 134 runs at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Thursday.

After bowling out India for 46 - their lowest total at home in Tests and third lowest overall in the format, thanks to Matt Henry’s 5-15 and William O’Rourke’s 4-22, New Zealand were ushered into the lead, thanks to Conway’s knock, with the highlight being his takedown of Indian spinners.

He hit 11 fours and three sixes in his 91 off 105 balls before being castled by Ravichandran Ashwin. At stumps, which came a little earlier due to bad light, Rachin Ravindra (22 not out) and Darly Mitchell (14 not out) ensured New Zealand continued to swell their lead and set themselves up for a mammoth day three.
