WICKET: Tendulkar b Bracewell 17 (50b, 3x4)

Virat Kohli is the new batsman and he will be under a lot of pressure with the ball moving around so much.

Tendulkar gets his first boundary as he nudges Boult fine on the leg side and is gifted another four off the very next delivery. There is a huge appeal for LBW against Tendulkar, who gets an inside edge, but McCullum attempts to hit the stumps and misses to give away four overthrows. Tendulkar ends the over with a single to keep the strike to move to 13 from 47 balls.

Tendulkar seems to be growing in confidence. He drills a full delivery down the ground back past the bowler to bring up his 2000th boundary in Test cricket.

However, Bracewell has the last laugh as he bowls Tendulkar with the very next delivery. Tendulkar, who made 17 from 50 balls, played all over a full delivery that came in slight but missed and was bowled.

Two wickets in two overs for Bracewell and New Zealand are in control now.

New batsman Suresh Raina has a nervous poke at a wide outgoing delivery. A make or break match for Raina as far as his Test spot is concerned. He clips a short of good length delivery behind square on the leg side for a single to get off the mark.
