Virat Kohli showed great composure to steady the Indian innings after the hosts lost three wickets at a total of 100 runs. The Indian skipper scored his 13th century before the end of play on Day 1.

He was aided by Ajinkya Rahane, who played a fine unbeaten knock of 79, and will look to complete his century on Sunday morning, having missed out on a ton in the first two tests.

It will be interesting to see how the Indore wicket behaves on Day 2, with the New Zealand bowlers hoping to produce some good movement and pick a few quick wickets early on in the first session.
