The Indian cricket team can thank the rain interruption, which brought an early end to the first day of the 1st Test against New Zealand at Basin Reserve in Wellington on Friday. India finished the day at 122/5 with Ajinkya Rahane and Rishabh Pant at the crease. The day belonged to New Zealand pacer Kyle Jamieson, who picked up 3 wickets for 38 runs in his debut match. The tall pacer picked up the wickets of Cheteshwar Pujara and Hanuma Vihari, but what made his debut special was the prized wicket of Team India skipper Virat Kohli.

NZ vs Ind: Here is what happened on Day 1

New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson won the toss and asked his bowlers to have a go at the Indian batsmen first up on a green top on an overcast day. Opener Prithvi Shaw gave a decent start before he was clean bowled by Tim Southee for 16 runs. Jamieson, who came into bowl as a first change, struck midway through his third over with a gem of a delivery to remove Cheteshwar Pujara for 11 runs. The delivery straightened off the seam to take the edge of Pujara's bat and into the gloves of wicketkeeper BJ Watling.
