Agarwal hits half-century to rally India

February 23, 2020 09:05

India 74-1 (30 ovs) & 165 vs NZ 348 | Scorecard

Boult comes back into the attack as Pujara continues to defend as he plays out a maiden over from the left-arm pacer.

Pujara has just blocked everything coming his way and has scored just six runs from 59 balls.

Spin introduced as Ajaz Patel comes into the attack to bowl the 27th over.

The third ball is short as Agarwal pulls it over midwicket for a four and two balls later comes down the track and lofts it over long-off for a six.

Boult nearly breaks through Pujara's defence as he gets the full delivery to jag in sharply as the right-hander gets an inside edge which saves him from LBW and he ends up playing out another maiden over.

Meanwhile, Agarwal keeps the runs coming. He paddle sweeps Patel fine on the leg side for a four to bring up his fifty from 75 balls.

Pujara finally gets a run as he drives Boult through the covers for a couple, his first runs after 29 dot balls in a row.

India are 74 for one in 30 overs, trailing by 109 runs.
