India v. New Zealand - Tests.

[Pies4shaw]

Elbow injury - I think the NZ selectors remain of the view that an average of under 30 over the last 10 years in India is still pretty good.

Meanwhile, Gill is out, caught at slip for 44. 1/80. Most relieved man on the field is the NZ keeper, Blundell, who missed a stumping chance from the previous ball.

The ball is turning from a line on the middle of the stumps on the first morning of the Test.

[Pies4shaw]

There we were, all depressed that NZ's review of the turned-down lbw appeal against Pujara had failed, and he gets bowled the very next ball. The World's Most Tedious Batsmen leaves the field and in comes Kohli.

[Pies4shaw]

Kohli given lbw in the same over. He's reviewing.

[Pies4shaw]

Looks like he hit it.

Yes, he plainly hit it first, so I don't know why this is taking so long.

Oh ... the 3rd umpire just said "It's inconclusive" from the obvious angle, so he's obviously blind.

[Pies4shaw]

Amd Kohli - remarkably - loses his review. He'll be spitting chips about that. India have gone from 0/80 to 3/80. Ajaz Patel has 3/14.

[Pies4shaw]

India 3/101. Mayank is 42*, Shreyas 7*.

[Pies4shaw]

Mayank brings up his 50 with a 4 just before Lunch.

At Lunch, India is 3/111. Mayank is 52*, Shreyas 7*.

[Donny]

For those wondering, Ajaz Patel is a left arm, ortho.

[Donny]

What's that sound ?

Oh, just Ashwin, Axar, Jadeja and Jayant licking their lips.
