NZ 1st inns: 240-5 (59 ovs)

TEA - Day 1

Van Wyk plays the sweep for a single and Taylor does the same off the next ball. The Kiwi batsmen have been guilty of poor shot selection and quite a few have lost their wickets to some reckless shots.

Just two singles from that Ashwin over, who has taken one for 50 in 16 overs.

Taylor tries the sweep shot against Ojha but misses. He is beaten off the next ball as Ojha gets it to turn sharply with some bounce and Dhoni appeals for stumping against Taylor, which is ruled not out by the third umpire.

It's maiden over from Ojha.

Van Wyk takes a single from the second ball to the square leg region and Taylor gets one to mid-on. Van Wyk plays out the rest of the over to take his team to tea.

At tea on the opening day, NZ were 240 for five in 59 overs.

Taylor was unbeaten on 112 from 119 balls, having hit 16 fours and two sixes, while van Wyk made seven from 19 balls.

New Zealand made good progress in the session, scoring 132 runs in 30 overs, but importantly lost two wickets.
