Rain Interrupts First Test as India Struggles Against New Zealand

The play has been stopped because of rain in Bengaluru. Matt Henry has given New Zealand their third wicket of the day by getting Sarfaraz Khan out for no runs.

Right now, Rishabh Pant and Yashasvi Jaiswal are working to build a strong opening partnership and help India, who are three wickets down, gain some momentum.

Meanwhile, New Zealand is looking for quick wickets to take control of the match.

Indian captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and chose to bat against New Zealand on Day 2 of the first Test in Bengaluru.

India has added Sarfaraz Khan and spinner Kuldeep Yadav to their team, replacing Shubman Gill and Akash Deep. Gill is sitting out due to a stiff neck.

The first session of the first Test match between India and New Zealand went against the hosting team.

With just 13 runs scored, India has lost three wickets.

This is the lowest score for India's third wicket since September 2018. India recorded 2 runs against England at The Oval.

Rain played a spoilsport on the first day of the first Test match against New Zealand, resulting in no play on Day 1.

Scorecard:

India: 17/3 (13.0).
