India vs New Zealand 1st Test Live: When Dravid got angry at Iyer

During an India A match against Australia, Dravid got annoyed with Shreyas Iyer because he attempted a risky shot during the last over of Day 1.

India 119/3 in 41 overs 

Nov 25, 2021 12:59 PM IST

Nov 25, 2021 12:58 PM IST

Nov 25, 2021 12:52 PM IST

IND vs NZ Live Score 1st Test: Pujara falls!

Cheteshwar Pujara throws away a good start. Tim Southee picks a big wicket here. Southee draws Pujara into front-foot defence but the gap between bats and pad is too much, as the batter finds thick edge. Blundell makes no mistake behind the wickets.

India 106/3 in 38 overs

Nov 25, 2021 12:47 PM IST

India vs New Zealand 1st Test: 10 runs off Ajaz

A four each for Rahane and Pujara as the duo score 10 runs off Ajaz Patel's 13th over. The duo is making the most out of the spinner while Jamieson confines Pujara with short-pitched balls.

A change in bowling, though, as Tim Southee replaces Jamieson. Probably as the Kiwi pacer is still rusty; this is his first international match since the World Test Championship final in June.

India 106/2 in 37 overs

Nov 25, 2021 12:44 PM IST

Nov 25, 2021 12:39 PM IST

India vs New Zealand 1st Test Live Score: Pujara back in action

So it seems he's ready to go again. Kyle Jamieson welcomes Pujara with yet another short ball. A little deja vu for the Indian batter from the Gabba Test earlier this year! Expect a short-ball barrage from Jamieson.

Nov 25, 2021 12:36 PM IST

India vs New Zealand 1st Test Live Updates: Pujara hit by Jamieson's delivery

Looks like Cheteshwar Pujara is in some pain after Jamieson's short-pitched delivery hit his gloves during the last ball of the 34th over. He is getting treatment for his fingers.

Nov 25, 2021 12:33 PM IST

IND vs NZ 1st Test Live Score: Jamieson and his no-balls

Nov 25, 2021 12:26 PM IST

IND vs NZ 1st Live Cricket Score: Ajaz returns

With Gill no more on the crease, Williamson brings Ajaz Patel back into the attack. Another good start for New Zealand – the key is to build on it. They failed to do so in the first innings; will the Kiwis capitalise on the momentum this time?

India 84/2 in 33 overs

Nov 25, 2021 12:24 PM IST

IND vs NZ 1st Test Live Update: Tight from Jamieson

The Kiwi quick continues to target the fourth stump line. He had earlier troubled Gill with similar line in his first spell as well. 

Jamieson bowls length to new batter Ajinkya Rahane, who has come at no.4 in the absence of Virat Kohli. The stand-in Indian captain successfully fends off the danger. Maiden from Jamieson.
