Bad light forces early stumps on day two of World Test Championship final between India and New Zealand

In the Men's Cricket, after the first day of the World Test Championship final was lost to rain, the second day allowed only 64.4 overs of play before poor light ended play when India were 146 for 3 against New Zealand at the draw of stumps. Skipper Virat Kohli was batting on 44 and his deputy Ajinkya Rahane on 29.

The two have so far added 58 runs for the fourth wicket. India were 120 for 3 when they were forced to take an early tea break due to poor visibility.

There were two more breaks due to poor light post-tea. Earlier, openers Rohit Sharma (34) and Shubman Gill (28) had provided a solid start of 62 in 20 overs as New Zealand bowlers struggled for the ideal line early on. Today, India will hope to get to at least 250 to challenge New Zealand.
