On Day 2 of the New Zealand XI vs India practice game, the Indian fast bowlers displayed top-notch skills with the ball. In particular, it was Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah, who bowled incredible spells to give a tough time to t♑he Kiwi batter💛s in the middle.
While Shami claimed three wickets, all of Bumrah, Umesh Yadav and Navdeep Saini picked up twoဣ apiece 🌜to pile New Zealand XI at 235 in their first innings.
The pick of Shami’s brilliant spell was a delivery with which he got rid of all-rounder Jimmy Neesham.
As Neesham went for a full-fledged drive against Shami’s length delivery, the red cherry squeezed back in after pitching to take a small inside edge of Neesham’s bat before crashing on to the stumps. Neesham departed for just 1. It was a great display of swing and seam bowling by Indian pacer.

Indian openers – Mayank Agarwal and Prithvi Shaw – started on a positive note in the second innings. They played on the front foot and smashed the New Zealand XI bowlers at a strike rate of more than 100. Agarwal remained unbeaten for a 17-ball 23, and Shaw made 35 not out off 25 balls as India ended the day with 59/0 in 7 overs.
