    Hello and welcome

    Welcome back for our coverage of the 1st Test between India and New Zealand. New Zealand's pacers were all over the Indian batting order yesterday. Only Ajinkya Rahane stood tall amid the ruins as rain cut short India's misery after two sessions of play. Ajinkya Rahane (38*) and Rishabh Pant (10*) took India to 122/5 at the Tea break on Day 1 of the 1st Test against New Zealand in Wellington on Friday before rain forced an early end to the day’s proceedings. What will Day 2 have in store? A little over an hour before play resumes.

    India's top-order batsmen performed woefully on a challenging track as the side crawled to 122 for 5 with New Zealand's towering pacer Kyle Jamieson rattling the visiting big guns on his debut on a rain-hit opening day of the first Test. Friday's play was called off after tea due to a heavy downpour, the gloomy conditions typifying India's batting blues with only Ajinkya Rahane (38 batting off 122 balls) matching wares when it came to winning the mental battle.
