Washington Sundar, who was not selected in the squad for the first Test, was suddenly called into the team for the second squad and was also included in the playing-11.

At the same time, Ashwin sent captain Tom Latham, Will Young and Devon Conway to the pavilion.

Conway scored the highest 76 runs. At the same time, Rachin Ravindra scored 65 runs. Apart from these two, no one could touch the 35+ run mark. Latham 15 runs, Will Young 18 runs, Daryl Mitchell 18 runs, Tom Blundell three runs, Glenn Phillips nine runs, Tim Southee five runs and Ajaz Patel four runs. This is Sundar's best spell. This is his first fifer in Tests. This is the sixth time that spinners have dismissed all 10 batsmen of the opposition team in the first innings on the first day of a Test in India. This has happened for the second time this year. Earlier in Dharamsala, Indian spinners had taken all 10 wickets in England's first innings.
