Live Cricket Score, 1st Test Day 2: Indian skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to bat against Tom Latham's New Zealand on Day 2 of the first of the three-match Test series at the M.Chinnaswamy

India captain Rohit Sharma has won the toss and decided to bat first in the rain-affected opening test against New Zealand.

Persistent rain has delayed the toss for the first cricket test between India and New Zealand on Wednesday at Bengaluru, India. India is currently atop the World Test Championship standings, and a 3-0 win in this series against New Zealand would assure its spot for the final at Lord’s next June.

And the wicket comes at last. It has been coming for quite a while and finally, Southee sends one scything through an expansive drive from Rohit. The Indian captain charges down the track, trying to drive off the length and put pressure back on the bowlers who are absolutely ruling the roost at the moment.

Day 1 of the India vs New Zealand 1st Test at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru has been called off due to rain. Not a single ball was bowled on the opening day with the captains not even walking out for the toss which will now take place at 08:45 am (Indian Standard Time) on Day 2 with the play scheduled to commence at 09:15 am.
