Day 1 Session 2 in a nutshell
Kyle Jamieson pitched the ball in right areas to strike thrice as New Zealand pegged India back, restricting them to 154 for four at tea on the first day of the Kanpur Test after skipper Ajinkya Rahane and his deputy Cheteshwar Pujara failed to convert their starts. Jamieson (3/38), who picked up Mayank Agarwal in the opening session, removed a well-set Shubman Gill (52) and Rahane (35) in the afternoon, using the variable bounce to good effect. Cheteshwar Pujara (26) was done in by a beauty from Tim Southee that reversed in and then shaped away to reach Tom Blundell gloves. Funnily, on a track that kept low and slow and didn't offer much turn, New Zealand spinners Ajaz Patel (0/56 in 15 overs) and Will Somerville (0/28 in 13 overs) were disappointing. But Rahane would be gutted as he hit six lovely boundaries before dragging one in as he expected the ball to bounce more considering Jamieson's height. Before that Gill, who hit a sublime fifty, had a big gap between bat and pad which helped Jamieson's in-cutter breach his defence. Debutant Shreyas Iyer (17 batting) looked confident in that brief period before tea.

Tea on Day 1 | India 154/4
That's it! Rachin Ravindra completes the final over before the Tea break. A wonderful session for New Zealand as they chip in with three big wickets in the session.

Debutant Shreyas Iyer and Ravindra Jadeja are currently in the middle, batting on 17 and 6 respectively. Kyle Jamieson picked up a couple of wickets in the session, taking his tally to three while Tim Southee also got rid of Pujara in the session.
