NZ 1st inns: 108-3 (29 ovs)


LUNCH - DAY 1

Zaheer comes on to bowl his 10th over of the innings. He keeps it full, looking to get the swing going against Flynn. The left-hander is content to defend the final over of the session. He flicks the last ball of that session to the leg side to get two runs as New Zealand reach 108 for three in 29 overs at lunch on the opening day.

Taylor is unbeaten on 27 from 28 balls, while Flynn is on seven from 18 balls.

Ojha was the most successful bowler for India with two for 24 in ten overs, while Zaheer claimed one for 33 and also had a catch dropped at third slip by Kohli.

New Zealand could have been sitting pretty at lunch had it not been for Guptill's wicket, who was looking good on 53 but gave his wicket away with a wild shot a few overs before the lunch break.

New Zealand took a few chances in the session and scored at a good rate of 3.73 runs per over. But they also need their batsmen to stay out in the middle and score the big hundred if they have to put India under pressure.
