Preview

India will be eyeing early wickets as they look to defend a target of 107 runs, on the final day of the opening test. New Zealand only faced four deliveries in their second innings, before rain stopped play. The visitors are at 0/0 and will be chasing the target.

After scoring just 46 runs in the first innings, India made a comeback to finish their second innings at 462 on Day 4. The hosts could have posted a bigger target with wickets in hand.

The collapse began when Sarfaraz Khan fell in the pre-tea session, departing for 150 off 195 balls, followed by Rishabh Pant narrowly missing out on a ton. Pant registered 99 off 105 balls. The other batters failed to contribute enough to the target.

For New Zealand, Matt Henry and Will O'Rourke took three-wicket hauls respectively. While the pitch could provide plenty of help to the pacers and spinners, the host will not down without putting up a fight.
