Match Summary: thus far ( close to end of play on day 1 of the test)
New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori won the toss in the morning and elected to bat first on what looked like a hard wicket, conducive to batting. Remember that this is the first ever time that the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Hyderabad is hosting a test match, so the decision did involve a bit of risk because new wickets tend to behave funny at times.
Vettori may have been worried immediately because the first wicket fell early on. Brendon McCullum who had looked good in the first test fell with the score reading just 4, both against his name and the team’s. However, McIntosh, the other opener who had completely failed in the 1st test then hung on with Martin Guptill who was the aggressor of the two. The duo took New Zealand past 150 and it was on 151 that Guptill fell to a dubious umpiring decision.
Since then they have progressed to 236/3. The Kiwis are looking good at the moment, and if the behaviour of the wicket on the first day of this India - New Zealand test is any indicator, then this match looks headed for a draw. But din’t the last game suddenly come alive in the last phase? So hang on, watch the live cricket, enjoy. In cricket, anything is possible.
