Summary Pace bowlers Zaheer Khan and Umesh Yadav struck important blows.
Left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha finished with a five-wicket haul as India bowled out New Zealand for 365 in its first innings on the second day of the second test at Chinnaswamy Stadium.Ojha dismissed Tim Southee leg-before wicket to complete figures of 5-99 after pace bowlers Zaheer Khan and Umesh Yadav had struck important blows earlier in the morning.Khan dismissed danger man Kruger van Wyk for 71 while Yadav got Jeetan Patel without scoring, as New Zealand failed to build much on its overnight 328-6.Van Wyk, who added 99 for the seventh wicket with overnight partner Doug Bracewell, was the first batsman to be dismissed and it led to a flurry of wickets as New Zealand could only last 8.4 overs of the second day.Van Wyk added eight runs before he was caught at second slip while trying to chip a Khan delivery to the third man boundary, with Suresh Raina taking a fine low cach to his right. Van Wyks knock lasted 100 balls, in which he hit nine fours.Bracewell made 43, his highest score in 11 tests, before he was unluckily run out off a straight drive from Southee while backing up too far as the ball deflected off bowler Khans hand on to the stumps at the bowlers end.Bracewell struck six fours off 79 balls, bettering his previous best of 39 against the West Indies at Antigua earlier this year.
