Mohammed Siraj claimed three wickets for 19 runs as India reduced New Zealand to 54/8 in their first innings on the second day of the second and final Test match at the Wankhede Stadium here on Saturday.

Siraj, brought into the team for this Test in place of the injured Ishant Sharma, struck on the first ball of his second over, bowled superbly on the off-stump, disguising the straight delivery to make early inroads into the New Zealand batting order.

Make that two in an over for @ashwinravi99 as Southee departs for a duck.

New Zealand 8 down. #INDvNZ @Paytm https://t.co/HIIn3bPfxX
