After 41 overs,India 119/3 ( Ajinkya Rahane (C) 17 , Shreyas Iyer 6)

Shreyas Iyer has been blocking his way so far in the innings, and he decides to get off the mark in this over, going for a wild slog down the ground, with the ball landing just beyond Williamson’s reach at long off to allow the debutant to grab a double. The next scoring shot however, is a lot better timed as he dispatches the ball towards cow corner to collect his first boundary in Test cricket. Six from the over.

After 38 overs,India 106/3 ( Ajinkya Rahane (C) 10 , Shreyas Iyer 0)

Kyle Jamieson given a break after bowling four overs in the post-lunch session, with Tim Southee taking his place. The veteran seamer adds one against his name in the wickets column after getting Pujara caught- behind for 26 in the fourth delivery. Wicket maiden for Southee, with debutant Shreyas Iyer arriving at the crease with India suddenly a spot of bother.

Rahane brings up the 100 for his team with a lovely drive through the extra cover region for his second boundary. Follows it up with a single off the fourth ball. Pujara too decides to have a go at Ajaz after the spinner dishes out a full toss that is smacked towards deep midwicket. Quick single to end the over, with 10 coming from it.

After 36 overs,India 96/2 ( Cheteshwar Pujara 21 , Ajinkya Rahane (C) 5)

Jamieson peppers Pujara with some short stuff in this over, the second delivery a well-aimed bouncer that has the batter in two minds and induces a late duck. The lanky seamer bowls an even steeper bouncer next delivery, with umpire Nitin Menon calling it a wide, much to the bowler’s annoyance. He later shifts to the round-the-wicket angle to the right-hander.

OUT! Kyle Jamieson breaks the opening stand by getting Mayank Agarwal, who was looking good so far at the start of the innings, caught-behind.

India win the toss, and skipper Ajinkya Rahane opts to bat

India vs New Zealand Live Score, Final Cricket Score and Live Streaming, Latest Updates: Will Somerville, who has been economical so far today, returns to the attack in place of Ajaz, who has gone for 56 runs without a wicket so far in the day. Just one from the over. Drinks being brought out to the field for the second time today.

India vs New Zealand 1st Test preview: India take on New Zealand in the first of the two Tests, in Kanpur.

The Kiwis beat India in the first cycle of the World Test Championship final six months ago to lift the title. Since then they have met a few times in white-ball cricket. It will be different ball game this time though as the Kiwis will be playing on the Indian soil.

They will face an uphill task against the Indian spin attack which is one of the best in the world. The last time the Kiwis toured India, they were outclassed 3-0. R Ashwin and R Jadeja combined to take 41 out of the 57 wickets taken by the bowlers.

Ashwin has been in good touch of late having returned to the white-ball side after four years. He will be the biggest threat to the Kiwis.

The Kiwi batsmen would have to show more application and adapt to the conditions quickly as the turnaround time from white-ball to red-ball cricket has been very short. There are no practice matches as well.

Kane Williamson, who played a couple of brilliant innings in the WTC final, will be the key for the Kiwis in that middle order.

India will be missing some of their first-choice players in Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami Rishabh Pant, who have been rested. Kohli has been rested for the first Test and Ajinkya Rahane will lead in his absence. India received a blow ahead of the series as KL Rahul was ruled out of the series due to thigh strain.

Suryakumar Yadav has replaced him in the squad. This means that Mayank Agarwal and Shubman Gill will in probability open the batting. And Rahane confirmed that Shreyas Iyer will make his Test debut, so he will most likely bat at No 4 in absence of Kohli.

Rahane and Pujara will be looking to get back to their best after struggles of late.

Kane Williamson will be hoping that some luck goes his way with regards to the toss which could be crucial. Last series, he lost all the tosses and scoreboard pressure does play a role especially in India.

The Kiwis would be looking for their first series win in India while rampant India would be looking to make it 14 series wins in a row at home. We can expect an enthralling contest.
