Live Cricket Score, IND vs NZ 2nd Test Day 1: India 111/3 at Tea

... Day 1, Final Session ...

India on the other hand, have Agarwal out there who is well set and Iyer who is in decent form. They would hope the two can stitch a stand and take India to safer shores. They have started off well but still have a long way to go. Another good session awaits.

End of a long and an action-packed session! It seemed like India would be the ones who would be happier of the two heading into the break but New Zealand have fought back really well and they have just the one man to thank and that is Ajaz Patel. After the Indian openers added 80 and India looked all set for a big total, it was him who turned it around by taking three in no time. The Kiwis will hope he can continue the good work after the break but also would love someone to give him equal support.
