Injury-hit India elect to bat vs NZ

December 03, 2021 12:11

India 12-0 (2 ovs) vs NZ | Scorecard

Shubman Gill and Mayank Agarwal are the two openers for India, while Tim Southee will open the bowling for New Zealand.

The first ball swings but it is away from the off-stump as Agarwal leaves and does the same to the next ball.

Southee sticks to the line outside of off-stump as Agarwal offers no shot to the next two balls.

The fourth is full and close to the stumps as Agarwal defends it watchfully under his eyes.

The fifth ball is a full delivery as Agarwal gets a thick outside edge and gets an inside edge off the last ball, to end a good first over.

Kyle Jamieson from the other end. The first ball is full on the stumps as Gill flicks it through midwicket for a four to get his team off the mark.

The next ball is wide as Gill drives it on the up, playing away from the body, for a boundary through the covers as the young right-hander makes a confident start.

Jamieson bowls it full as Gill taps it on the leg side and mistimes the slash square on the off-side.

The last ball is a full delivery on the pads as Gill, who takes a couple of steps down the pitch, clips it uppishly through square leg for the third four of the over.
