Pacer Kyle Jamieson star performer with ball as New Zealand earn plaudits on Day 1 of second Test against India

New Zealand's Kyle Jamieson continued his impeccable form with figures of 5/45 on the opening day of the second Test against India. AP

New Zealand won the toss and asked India to bat first. After losing Mayank Agarwal, Prithvi Shaw and Cheteshwar Pujara built a 590-run stand for the second wicket. AP

Prithvi Shaw scored just his second Test fifty in his career in the game's longest format, and was also his first since a half-century against West Indies in 2018. AP

Virat Kohli's recent worrisome form continued after being dismissed by Tim Southee for just three runs. AP

However, Pujara gave something for the visitors to smile about again after notching up his 25th Test fifty. India were later bowled out for 242. AP

Tom Blundell and Tom Latham are all smiles after the day's play. New Zealand are 62-0, trailing by 179 runs after the end of the opening day's play. Twitter @ICC
