Bangalore test, day two: Kohli, Dhoni steady India; 283/5 at stumps
Sep 1, 2012
Virat Kohli (93*) and Skipper MS Dhoni (46*) stitched an unbeaten century partnership to guide India to 283/5, in reply to New Zealand's 365, at close on the second day of the second Test in Bangalore. Pragyan Ojha, the first Indian spinner to open the bowling in Tests in the first innings, claimed his third five-wicket haul as Indian bowlers made a good comeback by restricting New Zealand to 365. The Kiwis could add just 37 runs in 8.4 overs to their overnight score of 328 for six before India wrapped up the innings 45 minutes into the morning session.
Second Test, day two: India 283/5 (Raina 55, Kohli 93*, Dhoni 46*) vs New Zealand 365 (Taylor 113, Guptill 53, van Wyk 71, Ojha 5-99)
Bangalore test, day three: Ashwin gives India the advantage
Sep 3, 2012
Fourteen wickets fell on day three of the 2nd Test match between India and New Zealand courtesy Tim Southee (7/64) and Ravichandran Ashwin (5/69). Earlier in the day, India's Virat Kohli, unbeaten on 93 overnight, struck two boundaries to complete his second test century before he became Southee's first victim of the morning. Tim Southee returned a career-best seven-wicket haul while Dough Bracewell took two wickets in Indian first innings, which folded for 353, 12 short of Kiwi total. India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin once again turned out to be New Zealand's tormentor with his fifth five-wicket haul. With this, he became the first Indian bowler to record five instances of five wickets or more in an innings in the first eight Tests. New Zealand ended the day on 232/9 with an overall lead of 244 runs and their number 10 batsman Jeetan Patel (10) and number 11 Trent Boult (nought) at the crease.
Second Test, day three: New Zealand 365 (Taylor 113, Guptill 53, van Wyk 71, Ojha 5-99) and 232/9 (Franklin 41, Ashwin 5-69) lead India 353 (Raina 55, Kohli 103, Dhoni 62) by 244 runs with 1 wicket remaining
Bangalore test, day four: Kohli, Dhoni guide India to series whitewash [IND-NZL:2-0 (2/2)]
Sep 3, 2012
Virat Kohli, who struck a brilliant half-century under pressure, and skipper MS Dhoni led from the front to help India to complete series whitewash against New Zealand with a comfortable five-wicket victory in the second Test at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore. Virat Kohli hit three boundaries off Tim Southee’s 18th over to reach his half-century and in the very next over, MS Dhoni hit a four and a six in successive balls to seal the victory and become the most successful Indian Test captain at home.
Second Test, day four: India 353 (Raina 55, Kohli 103, Dhoni 62) & 262/5 (Kohli 51*, Dhoni 48*) beat New Zealand 365 (Taylor 113, Guptill 53, van Wyk 71, Ojha 5-99) & 248 (Franklin 41, Ashwin 5-69) by 5 wkts

New Zealand vs India, Hyderabad test
1st Test at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad
Hyderabad test, day one: Pujara slams his maiden Test ton; India 307/5
Aug 23, 2012
Cheteshwar Pujara's unbeaten century helped India reach 307 for five on day one of the first Test against New Zealand at Hyderabad. In just his fourth test, Pujara hit 16 boundaries in his innings of 119 not out and his 125-run partnership for the fifth wicket with Virat Kohli turned the match in India's favour after the Kiwi seamers provided a promising opening to the tour. Earlier, India had a brisk start when the opening duo of Gautam Gambhir and Sehwag added 49 runs for the first wicket after Dhoni elected to bat after winning the toss.
New Zealand XI: Ross Taylor(c), Brendon McCullum, BJ Watling, Martin Guptill, Kane Williamson, Neil Wagner, Kruger van Wyk(w), James Franklin, Trent Boult, Tim Southee, Doug Bracewell, Chris Martin, Daniel Flynn, Tarun Nethula, Jeetan PatelIndia XI: Ajinkya Rahane, Gautam Gambhir, Cheteshwar Pujara, Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Virat Kohli, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, R Ashwin, Pragyan Ojha, Zaheer Khan, Umesh Yadav.
First Test, day one: India 307 for 5 wkts, 87 overs vs New Zealand
Hyderabad test, day two: Pujara 159; New Zealand 106/5 at stumps
Aug 24, 2012
Indian spinners Ravichandran Ashwin and Pragyan Ojha took full advantage of a helpful track to rip through New Zealand's top order and put India in the driver's seat after the second day of their opening Test in Hyderabad on Friday. New Zealand were 106 for five at stumps, in reply to India's first innings total of 438, largely built around Cheteshwar Pujara's 159. India's first innings ended on 438 with Pujara adding 127 runs for the sixth wicket with skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni who chipped in with a useful 73.
First Test, day two: New Zealand 106/5 (Williamson 32, Franklin 31*) trail India 438 (Pujara 159, Dhoni 73, Kohli 58) by 332 runs
Hyderabad test, day three: India enforces follow on
1st Test, Hyderabad, Day 3, stumps: India 438 (Pujara 159, Dhoni 73, Kohli 58) lead New Zealand 159 (61.3 ov; Ashwin 6-31) and 41/1 (follow on) by 238 runs
Hyderabad test, day four: India beat New Zealand by an innings and 115 runs [IND-NZL:1-0 (1/2)]
Aug 26, 2012
New Zealand imploded for the second time in as many days to slump to an embarrassing innings and 115-run loss in the first Test against India. Ravichandran Ashwin picked up a career-best 12 wickets to help India take a 1-0 lead in the two-match Test series on Sunday. Ashwin's 6-54, his second six-wicket haul in the match, and Pragyan Ojha's 3-48 bundled the visitors out for 164 in their 2nd innings, a mere 5 runs more than their 1st innings total. 1st Test, Hyderabad, Day 4: New Zealand 159 (Ashwin 6-31) and 164 (follow on; Ashwin 6-54) lose to India 438 (Pujara 159, Dhoni 73, Kohli 58) by an innings and 115 runs

India, who lost eight consecutive away tests in England and Australia last year to relinquish the world number one status, will be without two batting stalwarts in Hyderabad on the opening day tomorrow against New Zealand. Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane are the most likely candidates to fill the void left by retirements in the Indian team.

Eighth-ranked New Zealand has never won a series in India.
