Last week, New Zealand made history in the series opener in Bengaluru when Tom Latham's men beat India by eight wickets to record their first win in the country in 36 years. Overall, it was their third Test win in India since their first tour of the country in 1955.

On Friday, New Zealand moved ever closer to their first Test series win in India after shutting out the hosts for just 156 runs in the first innings before taking a 301-run lead.

The day began with Mitchell Santner weaving a net around the famed Indian batting line-up, picking a career-best first-class figure of 7 for 53 to defeat India as New Zealand, who scored 259 in the first innings on day one, earned a healthy lead of 103 runs in Pune.

Captain Latham then consolidated the lead with his knock of 86 as New Zealand reached 198/5 at stumps. Tom Blundell (30 not out) had Glenn Phillips (7 not out) for company when the stumps were drawn. The only bright spot for India was Washington Sundar's continued good performance. He completed 11 wickets in the match, adding four more to his career best of seven in the first innings.

However, a historic win for New Zealand would end India's valuable 18-series winning streak at home, which dates back to 2013. It will also put India's WTC final qualification hopes in a difficult position.
