The
hosts
scored
111/3
against
New
Zealand
at
tea
on
day
one
of
the
2nd
Test
match
at
the
Wankhede
Stadium
on
Friday
(December
3).
Virat
Kohli
opted
to
bat
first
after
the
delayed
start
due
to
the
wet
outfield.
The
openers
justified
the
captain’s
decision.
Shubman
Gill
continued
with
his
decent
run
of
form
with
the
bat
scoring
44
off
71
balls
and
Mayank
Agarwal
also
got
his
form
back
scoring
an
unbeaten
52
after
failing
to
deliver
in
both
the
innings
at
Kanpur.
Kiwi
pacers
went
wicketless
in
their
opening
spells.
Experienced
Tim
Southee
bowled
a
tight
line
conceding
only
9
runs
in
6
overs
with
2
maiden
overs
to
their
name.
Kyle
Jamieson
got
a
bit
of
a
stick
as
he
conceded
24
runs
in
his
5
overs.
Both
the
pacers
were
taken
off
the
attack
and
spinners
Ajaz
Patel
and
William
Somerville
were
introduced.
But
even
they
failed
to
break
India’s
opening
partnership.
Shubman
was
the
more
aggressive
of
the
two
openers
latching
on
to
the
opportunity
coming
his
way
while
Mayank
Agarwal
kept
one
end
tight
and
went
on
to
make
an
unbeaten
half-century.
The
deadlock
was
finally
broken
as
left-arm
slow
bowler
Ajaz
Patel
dismissed
Shubman
Gill,
who
was
caught
in
the
slips
by
Ross
Taylor.
Gill
once
again
failed
to
capitalize
after
getting
a
good
start.
Cheteshwar
Pujara’s
lean
patch
continued
as
the
Saurashtra
player
struggled
with
the
bat
falling
victim
to
Patel
who
cleaned
him
up
for
a
5-ball
duck.
Making
a
comeback
after
missing
the
first
Test
in
Kanpur
Virat
Kohli
too
fell
to
Ajaz
Patel
without
troubling
the
scorers.
But
the
joint
decision
of
third
umpire
and
the
on-field
umpire
to
give
him
leg
before
has
sparked
off
a
huge
controversy
especially
since
the
slow
motion
cameras
could
not
get
any
definite
frame
of
ball
eluding
the
bat,
and
many
believe
the
benefit
of
doubt
should
have
gone
to
the
batsman.
