New batsman Colin de Grandhomme defends the remaining five deliveries as Axar bowls a wicket-maiden.

There was a controversy ahead of the start of the second ODI in Pune.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India suspended the curator of the Maharashtra Cricket Associations stadium in Pune after he was captured on television in a sting operation, claiming that he could tamper with the pitch ahead of the second ODI.

In the sting operation by India Today TV, curator Pandurang Salgaoncar is seen and heard speaking to an undercover reporter, who poses as a bookie, while standing on the MCA Stadiums pitch.

The 68-year-old Salgaoncar is seen agreeing to tamper with the pitch to suit the requirements put forth by the reporter. India Today TV said the video was shot on Tuesday evening.

It is not clear how Salgaoncar, a former pacer and one-time India probable, could have tweaked the pitch with just a few hours to go before the match, which will be played on Wednesday afternoon.

New Zealand captain Kane Williamson has once again won the toss and elected to bat in Pune.

New Zealand, who won the first ODI by six wickets, are playing with the same team.

India, who face a must-win game, made one change as Axar Patel, whom captain Kohli termed as an 'all-rounder', comes in for Kuldeep Yadav.

Welcome to the coverage of the second One-Day International between India and New Zealand in Pune on Wednesday.

An under pressure India will face their stiffest test in recent times when they try to bounce back in the three-match ODI series against a refreshed New Zealand in the must-win second game.

It is a must-win match for the Indians, who need to win to keep the three-match series alive.

Not many had also expected New Zealand to topple India in the series-opener at the Wankhede but the visitors, playing their first match since the ICC Champions Trophy in June, did it in emphatic style as they claimed a six-wicket victory.

It took a record breaking 200-run stand from Ross Taylor and Tom Latham to get the better of their formidable opponents, putting New Zealand on the cusp of a rare series win in India.

The hosts, no doubt, were off-colour at Wankhede but the Virat Kohli-led side is expected to come back hard at the Black Caps in the second ODI.

Kohli led from the front on Sunday with his 31st ODI ton but did not get the support from his team.

The dangerous opening pair of Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma fell to the swing and accuracy of Trent Boult in Mumbai and they will now have to find a way to negotiate the left-arm pacer early on in their innings.

The Indian captain, who stuck a memorable hundred in his 200th ODI, would like to continue from where he left off. His role will be again crucial if the team has to set up a big total, provided it bats first.

The No. 4 spot remains a concern for the team management with 11 batsmen being tried at that position since the 2015 World Cup. Kedar Jadhav batted at that position on Sunday but failed to do the job.

Dinesh Karthik, batting at No. 5, played a decent knock in his comeback game, stitching a 73-run stand with captain Kohli before throwing his wicket away.

Welcome to the coverage of the second One-Day International between India and New Zealand in Pune on Wednesday.

An under pressure India will face their stiffest test in recent times when they try to bounce back in the three-match ODI series against a refreshed New Zealand in the must-win second game.

It is a must-win match for the Indians, who need to win to keep the three-match series alive.

Not many had also expected New Zealand to topple India in the series-opener at the Wankhede but the visitors, playing their first match since the ICC Champions Trophy in June, did it in emphatic style as they claimed a six-wicket victory.

It took a record breaking 200-run stand from Ross Taylor and Tom Latham to get the better of their formidable opponents, putting New Zealand on the cusp of a rare series win in India.

The hosts, no doubt, were off-colour at Wankhede but the Virat Kohli-led side is expected to come back hard at the Black Caps in the second ODI.

Kohli led from the front on Sunday with his 31st ODI ton but did not get the support from his team.

The dangerous opening pair of Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma fell to the swing and accuracy of Trent Boult in Mumbai and they will now have to find a way to negotiate the left-arm pacer early on in their innings.

The Indian captain, who stuck a memorable hundred in his 200th ODI, would like to continue from where he left off. His role will be again crucial if the team has to set up a big total, provided it bats first.
