1.18pm: India have been skittled for 46 - their lowest total at home and third lowest overall - in just over a session after having opted to bat first in Bengaluru. Henry holds the ball aloft and soaks in the applause from the NZ change room after having led their attack admirably. What control with his lines and lengths. His five-for in Bengaluru has now taken his tally to 100 Test wickets. O'Rourke also made a serious impression in his first Test in India to trouble India's batters. There is still a lot of movement - both vertical and lateral - on offer. Over to Bumrah and Co. now. Can they also pin NZ down to a low total and even the scales? Or can NZ put up a substantial score and pull further ahead? Sid Monga will be back with you for the start of NZ's reply

Henry to Kuldeep Yadav, OUT, well deserved fifth wicket and 100 across his Test career! Matt Henry has been sensational for New Zealand - all through his career, even when he was surplus to requirements with Southee and Boult and Wagner commanding their spots in the XI. He never gave up and now he has a five-for in India against India, who are bowled out for 46, their lowest total at home! The wicket happens with a back of a length ball that lures Kuldeep, for once, to play away from the body and the outside edge goes to gully's left, where the sub fielder Bracewell dives and picks up a blinder.

Pomil Proch: "Whacking the Bangladeshi bowlers on flat decks is the cricketing equivalent of all night partying. At 42-9, hanging for life on this challenging track in unfavourable conditions is the like waking up seriously hung over after partying all night and nursing a deadly headache."
