Kapil Dev rang the bell in India's 250th Test at home, marking the start of play

India captain Virat Kohli won the toss and opted to bat in the second Test. Kane Williamson was down with illness so Ross Taylor was named New Zealand skipper
Zoom
But it was New Zealand who drew first blood by getting the wickets of Shikhar Dhawan, Murali Vijay and captain Virat Kohli in the morning session
Zoom
But Cheteshwar Pujara stuck it out in the middle to put on a gritty knock of 87
Zoom
Pujara failed to get ideas to dismiss Pujara or Rahane in the second session as the hosts dominated processions
Zoom
This was Pujara's third half-century in succession after scoring two 50s in both the innings of the first Test
Zoom
But Neil Wagner finally struck, removing Pujara early in the third session of play on Day 1
Zoom
Jeetan Patel also clinched two wickets to peg the Indians back
Zoom
New Zealand picked up four wickets in the last session of play to halt India at 239/7

But had it not been for Pujara and Rahane, the situation could have been much worse for India
