New Zealand vs. India live stream: How to watch the 2nd Test Match online from anywhere
After a scintillating 10-wicket win in the opening Test match, New Zealand will be looking to carry on where they left off against India as the series moves to Christchurch.
The Black Caps were strong across the board, but the bowling trio of Trent Boult, Tim Southee and Kyle Jamieson were in particularly formidable form, with the threesome combining for 18 wickets, and they'll be relishing facing their shell-shocked opponents once again.
The emphatic nature of the defeat means there's plenty to improve upon for the visitors who looked a shadow of the side ranked the best in the world going into the series.
The defeat brought India's seven-Test winning streak screeching to a halt, and the visitors will be particularly concerned by their lack of runs. India failed to make 200 in either innings of the first test, with the form of all-rounder Ravi Ashwin now seen as a major issue.
The one big positive India can draw from was the bowling performance of Ishant Sharma in Wellington and with the batting issues they faced in the first test, they'll likely be relying upon him to provide a similar showing in Christchurch.
