India 1st inns: 27-2 (10 ovs) vs NZ 1st inns: 365

WICKET: Pujara c Boult b Southee 9 (17b, 1x4)

After the initial jitters Sehwag seems to be settling down quite well. He offers a straight bat defense against a swinging delivery from Boult and then ducks under a bouncer. He seems to be intent on playing out the new ball and has cut down his fancy shots at the moment.

Pujara is looking confident after his century in the previous Test at Hyderabad. He offers no shot to the first few balls before flicking a full delivery through the square leg region for his first boundary.

However, he loses his wicket a couple of balls later as he tries to play the hook shot against a bouncer from Southee and is caught on the fine leg fence for nine.

Southee has been sensational with the new ball for New Zealand and his two wickets has given his team the upperhand.
