India reaches 63-2 in reply to New Zealand's 365

Pace bowler Tim Southee grabbed two wickets as India reached 63-2 at lunch on the second day in reply to New Zealands first innings score of 365 in the second and final test at Chinnaswamy Stadium.At the break, Virender Sehwag was batting on 39 off 56 balls and Tendulkar on four off 41 with the home side still 302 runs in deficit with eight wickets in hand.Southee accounted for opener Gautam Gambhir and last-match centurion Cheteshwar Pujara in seaming conditions.Gambhir (2) was bowled, shouldering arms to a delivery that came in sharply to clip the top of off stump.Pujara (9) who scored 159 in the first test, went for a hook and was caught by Trent Boult at deep fine leg.Earlier, left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha completed a five-wicket haul as New Zealand was bowled in 50 minutes this morning after resuming at 328-6.Ojha dismissed Southee leg-before wicket to complete figures of 5-99, his third five-for in 16 tests, after pace bowlers Zaheer Khan and Umesh Yadav had struck important blows.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.
