IND v NZL 2nd Test Preview at Hyderabad - India vs New Zealand Squad for Second Test

After a fighting and entertaining 1st test match, host India and New Zealand is ready once again to take the lead as second test match starting from Friday, 12th November, 2010 at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Uppal, Hyderabad and timing will be from morning 4:00 GMT, 9:30 IST. 3 match series is currently level at 1-1.

India's collapse in the 2nd inning is a concern but they fought back well thanks to Laxman and Harbhajan. Gambhir is totally out of form this year and if M Vijay will be called back in his place it will be good for team while Raina also has to prove himself as Pujara is waiting outside to grab the place. Harbhajan has improved his batting but his bowling is not working and he need to work on it.

New Zealand missed a chance to win the 1st test on 5th day and will be high on confidence after 4-0 defeat against Bangladesh. Jesse Ryder played well along with debutant Williamson while injured Hamish Bennett will be replaced by James Franklin.
