Live Reporting: 1st test, day 2, India 130/4 at stumps, trail by 373 runs

Auckland: India were pushed to the backfoot after yet another familiar top-order batting collapse as hosts New Zealand took firm control of the the first cricket Test riding on skipper Brendon McCullum's brilliant double century here today. McCullum's sparkling 224 guided New Zealand to a commanding 503 in their first innings despite a six-wicket haul by pacer Ishant Sharma. India were struggling at 130 for four, when bad light halted second day's play with Rohit Sharma standing tall amidst ruins batting on 67 in company of Ajinkya Rahane (23 batting). India are 373 runs behind New Zealand's first innings total and still require another 174 runs to avoid follow-on. India's top-order again performed miserably as they were reduced to 10 for three at one stage with Shikhar Dhawan (0), Cheteshwar Pujara (1) and Virat Kohli (4) back in the pavilion due to some inspired seam bowling by Trent Boult and Tim Southee.Here are the live updates:End of Day 2, India 130/4 at stumps, trail by 373 runsPlay is delayed due to overcast conditionsBad light stops play10:03
