Kanpur (Uttar Pradesh) [India]: New Zealand opening batters stood firm as Indian bowlers struggled to make early inroads in the second session of the opening Test on Day Two on Friday.
In the second session of Day Two, New Zealand bundled India out for 345 in the first innings before reaching the score of 72/0. Kiwis still trail India by 273 runs.
