  India vs New Zealand 1st Live Updates: One eventful day

  Well, it began with Mayank Agarwal getting to 150 followed by Ajaz Patel achieving a unique feat. New Zealand went into the innings break with heaps of momentum but Mohammed Siraj abolished it quickly by picking up three quick wickets. Then, the spinners spun their web as Ashwin (4 wickets), Axar (2), and Jayant (1) played their respective roles in bundling the Kiwis out for 62. Virat Kohli did not enforce the follow-on and Shubman Gill, after suffering a blow to his elbow while fielding, did not open. Yet, Cheteshwar Pujara (29*) and Mayank Agarwal (38*) took India to 69/0 after 21 overs. India lead by 332 runs now

IND vs NZ Live Score: Mayank Agarwal speaks to the broadcasters
"This innings was all about grit and determination. I haven't changed much, just tried to stay side on, but it's more mental than technical. For my batting, if I don't attack I'll get stuck, so if I don't put Ajaz under the pump, he will keep bowling in good areas. The Indian domestic circuit is tough, and the years anyone spends there helps them. It's hard and the experience and learnings you get is phenomenal, and I've carried that into international cricket. We will look to pile on as many runs as we can tomorrow and put the pressure on New Zealand."

IND vs NZ: Ajaz Patel on his 10-wicket haul
“Obviously quite a special occasion for me; not only me, my wife, my mom and dad, my family. A very special day for me for sure. To be honest, it's pretty surreal, I don't think you ever believe you are going to achieve something like that. To be able to do that in my career is pretty special. By the grace of God, I am very fortunate, the stars have aligned for me, having an occasion like that here in Mumbai. To be born here and then come back here and achieve something like that is pretty special. I am in very illustrious company with Kumble sir as well. Hasn't been a great start for us with the bat, but we've still got a few boys in the shed, so hopefully we put our best foot forward and put a few runs on the board. If we have to come back here, we have to get back here. It's part of our job, we enjoy the challenges. (Most special wicket?) Don't really have any one in particular, it's just about finding good rhythm and just being repetitive and asking good questions of the batters.”
