New Zealand is going in for the kill, but don't rule out the Indians just yet because they could push this one to a draw thanks to the firepower that they have. Pujara could have been useful in this particular test.
On the other hand, Pakistan looks like they might take the second test as long as they don't mess up which they have been doing on a regular basis these days.

Just checked England vs Pakistan, and Pakistan have done same poor batting in second innings as they did in 1st test, could have been worse for Pakistan had Root did not drop Salman at 6 runs as he went on to make 63. Kamran didn't make any milestone today, but he looked good in his little inning.
Match is getting interesting as Crawley and Duckett out already, I'd say 60/40 chances for England and Pakistan respectively.

The pitch is not in favor of the batsmen in today's game as wickets are falling fast. As both Pakistan and England teams scored huge runs in the first match, although Pakistan team lost but every batsman performed well. But coming to this second test match, Pakistan team has given a target of 366 runs which is a small collection for a test match, but England team has collected 246 runs for 6 wickets in 56 overs. Thus, if the England players continue to lose wickets, then there is a high probability of losing the first innings of this second match, as Duckett scored 114 runs from 129 balls, which was the best performance of the match among the top order batsmen.
He has only shown patience but let's see till the end of this match how long the partnership of these two batsmen Jamie Smith and Brydon carse can last and we have to wait for whether they can decide the win of this match.

The Pakistan team had a got a good lead of 296 runs that New Zealand had to chase and some of the runs New Zealand had chased already. They have lost two wickets for 36 runs. It is the last innings meanwhile the result waiting, with no chance of a draw. There are more chances for the Pakistan team as in the last innings, Sajid Khan and Noman Ali bowled very well.
Pakistan would want the same type of rhythm of bowling by them once again then Pakistan would win their first matches after a long time. What do you think will Pakistan make it or once again lose the chance, I think they will make it this time because they are bowling last in this test.
I was disappointed after seeing the first game between Pakistan and England where Pakistan made 556 and still lost the game that is why I was not very interested in this game and when I heard that at the start of the first innings, Abdullah was out then I thought Pakistan going to lose again but when I saw score recently I was really surprised.
Sajid Khan did wonderful bowling. Now I am glad that Naseem Shah and Shaheen Afridi are not in the team. That is superb. The Pakistan team is going to win this game as they bowled. The New Zealand second innings have started and Pakistan is having good lead.
The venue is more comfortable for the Indian squad. This had caused overconfidence, and they might've misunderstood New Zealand as Bangladesh. Here it is the performance of New Zealand bowlers that made India players unable to face them. Because one or the other should have performed, here almost every player faced the same and was unable to stand against the bowling of Matt Henry and Will O'Rourke. Let's see whether India can do something better in the second innings. As the first day of the match ended without a ball being bowled, there are chances of the match ending in a draw depending on the performance of Indian bowlers in the upcoming days.
India has broken their own record, if you remember some years before the Indian team had a series of test matches against Australia and there the full Indian team were all out on 36 runs that creating a history. And now today another such history has been created in the match between India and New Zealand. By the way, such an incredible bowling by the New Zealand team.
Previously, they were just suffering from the loss of the two test games against Sri Lanka but now I think they are back in order as they played today, their batting is also looking good. I hope they will retain this lead as we know that the Indian team have a tendency to come back in the game from any situation.
It's an instance of realization for the Indian team that they do have competition and they need to focus on performing on every matches and on every sectors. Even though it's an entirely different team than what played with Bangladesh, this one is the proper team. The way they played is much different. Holding wickets is the key in test matches but they failed to do so.
Except one all of the wickets of India were caught out and only one of it was caught by the keeper. Which means 8 of the wickets were due to wrong shots. No doubt the bowling was impressive but if the Indian batters had defended those 8 balls in proper way, they would have not lost the wickets. One innings of one test doesn't decide anything but the records set are going to be there forever.

Pakistan International test cricket team is not favorite for that match . I will not trust on Pakistani team because that is not able to trust because all players are not selected on their performance and Pakistan team lose their respect on International level by losing series against Bangladesh these team. Now we watched last match in which we expected that Pakistan team can win this match but in the end we saw turn in match and we saw bad bowling by Pakistani bowlers and and Eng team won the last match easily. England team need 127 runs and they have 4 wickets in the hand and two good batters are present on the crease and I think the result of that match will be the saw as we saw the result of previous match.
Today I have been realized that these such changes were very good for the Pakistan team as in the place of Babar Azam, there was Kamran Ghulam set to play who hit a wonderful and classical century, helping Pakistan a lot. Then on the bowling side, I was missing Naseem Shah and Shaheen Shah Afridi but Sajid Khan and Noman Ali played a wonderful game and they both picked 6 wickets in total and except for these two bowlers, there was no bowler who picked even a single wicket so far till the second day. Let's see what will happen today. All eyes are on Sajid Khan and Noman Ali's bowling.

In the 1st Test match of India vs New Zealand team, India team came to bat in the 1st innings and scored 46 runs losing 10 wickets in 31.1 overs. I did not think that the batsmen of India team will perform so badly in the 1st innings. William ORourke of New Zealand team said 12 overs. 4 wickets for 22 runs. Matt Henry took 5 wickets for 15 runs in 13.2 overs.
The New Zealand captain used three of his bowlers. Tim Southee managed to pick up just one wicket. Matt Henry and William O'Rourke took 4 wickets each. Interestingly, Henry conceded just 15 runs in 13 overs and managed to pick up four wickets. India is about to concede a humiliating defeat.
(Andy, Garam Garam Andy ly lo😂😜😂) lol that was terrible, to be honest no one expect that kind of results from Indian team especially when they recently white wash Bangladesh team at home ground in two different format series. But I think they way indian coach G.Gambir give statement that now we should focus on bowling but not batting because if our batsman scored 500 it will be chase able but if our bowlers took 7 to 10 wicket early on then match will be easily shifted in our favor so I think that why they prepare completely bowling favorable pitches so that can test his bowling and batting lineup but unfortunately thier batter were not prepared for such horrible things and they collapse. While on the other hand new Zealand were easily managing things. Hope indian will show sign of comeback in second innings
New Zealand players are comfortably playing Indian bowlers without breaking a sweat, I expected some early wickets, but only just a while ago Kuldeep was able to get Latham out. Did pitch conditions change that fast?
This match looks in NZ's hands already.

Since the match is being held in Bangalore, I considered India as the favorite for the home series. Moreover, India managed to win the last two Test matches against Bangladesh by a big margin. So suddenly I am very surprised to see such a performance of this team. I didn't get a chance to watch the match live. Indian batsmen could not bat even 32 overs. Rishab Pant has collected the highest for India. Pant scored 20 runs in this match. 5 batsmen could not add any runs to the scoreboard.
Matt Henry took 5 wickets for just 15 runs and William O'Rourke took 4 wickets. New Zealand's bowlers managed to bowl well. Now if New Zealand's batsmen can play well then New Zealand will be able to win this match by a big margin.
At the end of the first day, New Zealand managed to collect 180 runs. New Zealand team lost three wickets. New Zealand managed to take a lead of 134 runs.
Did India make a mistake in building their squad? Or have New Zealand's bowlers performed unexpectedly well? India have two pace bowlers in their squad. Bhumrah and Siraj have two experienced pace bowlers in India's squad. And India have kept Yadav, Ashwin and Jadeja in the squad.
On the other hand we saw New Zealand use their three pace bowlers. Among them, Matt Henry and William O'Rourke picked up 9 wickets. These two pacers of New Zealand have done great bowling. On the other hand, New Zealand lost three wickets but India's two pacers could not pick up a single wicket.

In the 2nd Test match of Pakistan vs England team, Pakistan team came to the field to bat in the 1st Innings and scored 366 runs in 123.3 overs losing 10 wickets. 1st Innings Pakistan team performed poorly in batting. England team's bowling line was excellent for which Pakistan team was under so much pressure.
Pakistan squad after losing the first match and now both squads Pakistan squad and England squad were participated for second test match and this match is still ongoing on crease and performance of Pakistan squad in first inning was finished bad as compare to first match and today second day was played and Pakistan squad managed 366 scores with lost of all wickets. England squad trail this match by 127 scores and their squad achieved 239 scores and lost of six main wickets. Ben Duckett just displayed their official performance in match in first inning and after completing full century he lost their wicket by Sajid khan and Sajid khan Pakistan bowlers showcased their amazing performance and he picked up 4 main wickets of England squad. Brydon Carse and Jamie Smith both are at crease and playing their inning.

This Test has gone out of India's control as I wonder if India have any strategy to save this match after being bowled out for 46 runs. Indian batsmen didn't understand but New Zealand batsmen are not having trouble playing on this pitch and are batting brilliantly. New Zealand has already collected 100 runs by one wicket and there are several overs left in today's session and for now if New Zealand can finish the second day without losing a wicket but if they can bat for two whole sessions tomorrow then New Zealand will definitely win this match. This match looks in NZ's hands already.
46? Just found out about this and I am stunned to say the least. 5 freaking ducks is just insanity considering Kohli was one of them. If India actually manages to salvage a draw here, that itself would be miraculous.
New Zealand have been performing like crap across all formats in recent history which is why this performance of theirs came out of nowhere. Crazy stuff!

Also, we are playing 3 spinners and the Kiwis are yet to bring their spin change. Rohit-Gambhir duo misread the conditions or maybe they'd call it a daring decision to test themselves in challenging conditions if India goes to win but that's a big IF.
And as you said why they bring in an extra spinner which probably going to be another failure once we see the progression.
The batting performance of the Indian team in their Test match against New Zealand today was truly ridiculous. They were bowled out for just 46 runs, perhaps the worst batting performance India has ever seen in a Test match. Matt Henry and William ORourke and Southee all bowled out India today. Anyway the New Zealand team is batting and they are going great but I think they will give India a good target in today's match.
We can see India's terrible batting. The Indian team won by dominating both the Test matches against Bangladesh. So we expected the New Zealand vs India match to be competitive. Also the Indian squad was very strong and experienced. So none of us were prepared to see such terrible batting from India. India lost their ninth batsman to collect these 40 runs. This is probably going to be the lowest collection in Test format in India's history
The New Zealand captain used three of his bowlers. Tim Southee managed to pick up just one wicket. Matt Henry and William O'Rourke took 4 wickets each. Interestingly, Henry conceded just 15 runs in 13 overs and managed to pick up four wickets. India is about to concede a humiliating defeat.

Indian team collected only 46 runs. We don't think India will bat that badly on their home ground. This is not the worst innings in India's history. India scored only 36 runs against Australia in 2020. But it was not India's home series.
The pitch may not have been batting friendly. However, the Indian squad is very experienced. So we never expect such performance from them. However, I do not see any possibility of India winning in this match. Even then if the Indian bowlers can bowl well then the match is likely to be competitive. The New Zealand team has already collected 17 runs in 4 overs without losing any wicket. New Zealand is only 29 runs behind.
When matches like this happen, I feel like players are better off to play the game as if they were playing T20.
Anyway, now all hope Bumrah and Siraj. I am not fan of Siraj particularly but he can produce beauties when pitch is helpful, so expecting some eye pleasers.
Will India be regretting that they are only playing 2 pacers?
