Kyle Jamieson made a crucial late breakthrough to put New Zealand on top against Pakistan at the end of the second day of the first test in Mount Maunganui on Sunday.
The roots of the win were laid on Day 2 by Cheteshwar Pujara whose patience, perseverance, character and temperament gave India the ascendancy in the match.
India's stand-in skipper Ajinkya Rahane could be laidback in his body language but he is aggressive with his tactics, said former India skipper and opening batsman Sunil Gavaskar on Sunday. "Rahane is having a good Test match. He is playing a captain's innings, applying himself. Everyone has been complimentary about his captaincy, his field placements and bowling changes. I agree with them. He is calm and cool," said Gavaskar to ABC Sport.
From engagement to wedding to becoming a father, this year has blessed Hardik Pandya in so many ways
For much of 2020, there were no sports, including cricket, to watch out for. When cricket matches were scheduled again, it was not without a fair share of drama. Be it heated arguments on the field or commentary gaffes, 2020 saw some internet-exploding moments coming from cricket. Here are the top five controversies in cricket in the year 2020:
Opening batsman David Warner is doing everything he can to recover from a groin injury but is still no certainty to play in the third test against India, Australia coach Justin Langer said on Sunday.
In yet another see-saw session between India and Australia, the visitors managed to score 189-5. After resuming the session from 87-3, India went on scoring runs at a quick pace and tried to push Australia on the backfoot. But two wickets in the session mean that the Indians are still not in control of the proceedings. First to depart in the session was Hanuma Vihrai (21), who looked to up the ante and fell to Nathan Lyon while attempting a sweep shot.
Australia opener David Warner is struggling to regain fitness after he injured his groin during the ODI series against India. That means, he might not be able to play in the third Test against India after missing the first two matches as well. Coach Justin Langer revealed on Sunday that Warner was batting well but one issue persists with him.
According to the latest report in Fox Sports, SCG's hopes of hosting the third Test of the India series is a "50-50" bet, and MCG could be the likely beneficiary. While high-level talks are on among all the concerned parties to make Sydney Test happen, despite rise in Covid-19 cases in the city, CA chief executive Nick Hockley and his Melbourne Cricket Club counterpart Stuart Fox on Sunday revealed that it could be a tough ask.
India opener Shubman Gill, who is making Test debut in the ongoing Boxing Day Test against Australia in Melbourne, wrote himself into the record books.
India debutant Mohammad Siraj has garnered a lot of praise after he bagged two wickets in the first innings of the Boxing Day Test against Australia. The lanky pacer removed Marnus Labuschagne first and then removed Cameron Green. Former Australia batsman Michael Hussey was mighty impressed with the youngster.
Since returning to India after the limited-overs leg of the Australian tour, Hardik Pandya has been enjoying some downtime with his family from experiencing fatherhood, turning Santa Claus for Christmas, or enjoying dinner dates with wife Natasa Stankovic.

Australias pace bowler Pat Cummins made two early breakthroughs on Sunday as India edged to 903 at lunch on the second day of the second cricket test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Paine got a chance at redemption when Cummins had Pujara play at a length ball that was angled in, and the Aus skipper, possibly wrong-footed, dove to his right full length to complete a good low catch.
Pat Cummins removed both overnight batsmen off his consecutive overs to dent India's progress as they took lunch at 90/3, trailing Australia by 105 runs, with skipper Ajinkya Rahane on 10 off 42 balls and Hanuma Vihari on 13 off 40.
Pacer Mohammed Siraj could not perform the last rites of his late father last month as he was in Australia with the national team but he made him proud by making India Test debut in Melbourne, his family said on Saturday.
Kane Williamson reached his 23rd test century and shared a 133run partnership with Henry Nicholls which helped New Zealand to 3015 at lunch Sunday on the second day of the first cricket test against Pakistan.

Right from the start of the Boxing Day Test between India and Australia, luck hasn't favoured the visitors. First a DRS review taken by Marnus Labuschagne went against the visiting side, when everyone thought he was plumb LBW, and then a run out chance against skipper Tim Paine.
Tim Paine survived by the skin of his teeth on day one of the second Test between India and Australia at the MCG when he was adjudged not out by the third umpire over a run-out decision that looked too close to call even with the benefit of the technology present
DRS has landed India in trouble once again. This time for no fault of their own. It was when R Ashwin was bowling during the first session of the Boxing Day Test at MCG, against Marnus Labuschagne. The bowler managed to trap the batsman in front of the wickets, umpire too adjudged him out. But to the utter dismay of the Indian team, the decision was overruled after the batsman went for the DRS.
In another great session for Team India, they pushed hosts Australia on the back foot in the post-lunch session with the scoreboard reading 136-5. India finally handed the ball to debutant Mohammad Siraj, while Umesh Yadav started from the other end. But it looked like Marnus Labuschagne and Travis Head were getting in the groove. The duo added some quick runs -- got 50 from the 10 overs in the second session, but could not sustain the pressure on the Indian bowling.
After Shubman Gill and fast bowler Mohammed Siraj made Test debut against Australia in the second Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground here on Saturday, it was the first time in seven years -- since November 2013 -- that India fielded two debutants in the same match. But it was not before both the players were handed their caps by a team member -- Gill was given a cap by coach Ravi Shastri while R Ahsiwn presented the cap to Siraj.
The Kings XI Punjab skipper posted a series of photos titled Melbourne Archives on Instagram and while the photos are being liked and shared by fans, one particular comment is getting all the attention.
South Africa will take on Sri Lanka in the opening Test of the two-match series on Saturday, December 26. The hosts would be eager to turn around the poor head to head record in recent times. In their last five meetings, they have lost four times and their last win over the visitors came way back in January 2017. They have many youngsters in the side this time and skipper Quinton de Kock is hopeful of a fine showing here.
The Boxing Day Test match between India and Australia is a special one, as it the 100th encounter between the two sides. The MCG -- venue for this Test is a hunting ground for Steve Smith, who averages over 100 here. But R Ashwin, who took his wicket in the first Test as well, managed to remove him for a duck here. Interestingly, this was Smith's fifth Test duck and first since 2016.
India may have ended the first session of Day 1 in the second Test at Melbourne in a position of strength but they very nearly gave a cheap reprieve to makeshift Australia opener Matthew Wade.
Former England batsman John Edrich, who made more than 100 firstclass centuries, has died at the age of 83, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said on Friday.
Former England fast bowler and cricket commentator Robin Jackman has died at the age of 75, cricket's governing body (ICC) said on Friday.
Ravichandran Ashwin grabbed two wickets and dismissed Steve Smith for his first duck in four years as India dominated the opening session of the second test against Australia in Melbourne on Saturday.
Australia captain Tim Paine won the toss and elected to bat first in the second test against India at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Saturday.
If there was any doubt that the Indian team may be reeling from the Adelaide debacle, the first session of the Boxing day Test at the MCG dispelled any such notion with Ajinkya Rahane's inspired captaincy and Ravichandran Ashwin's brilliant bowling reducing Australia to 65/3 at lunch on Day 1.
Hardik Pandya, who is not part of India's Test squad and flew back to India after the limited-overs leg of the Australian tour, celebrated Christmas turning Santa Claus for his wife Natasa Stankovic and son Agasthya.
