NZ 1st inns: 328-6 (81.3 ovs)


STUMPS - DAY 1

It turned out to be a frustrating final session for India as Kruger van Wyk and Doug Bracewell frustrated them with some resolute batting before play was called off early due to bad light.

8.3 overs left in the day and the official announcement will be made at 425pm IST.

Van Wyk employed the sweep shot to great effect, scoring 63 from 85 balls, while Bracewell look comfortable on 30 from 61 balls. The duo were involved in an unbroken stand of 82 runs in 18.2 overs to continue their good batting show on the opening day.

Captain Taylor provided the impetus with a brilliant counter-attacking innings of 113 from 127 balls, laced with 16 fours and two sixes. Martin Guptill was impressive at the top with 53 from 79 balls but threw his wicket away with a rash shot, and Daniel Flynn did the same after scoring 33.

For India, Ojha struck at regular intervals to claim four for 90 in 27 overs, but Zaheer was their best bowler with one for 74. Ashwin took one for 82 in 24 overs, while Yadav was hit for plenty to concede 71 runs in 12.3 overs.
