With Rohit Sharma rested, and KL Rahul out injured, Shubman Gill and Mayank Agarwal opened the batting for the hosts.

While Agarwal was dismissed cheaply by Jamieson, Gill went on to score his fourth Test half-century. He scored a fine 52 before Jamieson dismissed him as well.

Cheteshwar Pujara's struggle continued as he only manage to score 26 before knicking one to the keeper off a Tim Southee delivery.

Rahane, who has also been under the scanner for his poor average in the past two years, started well but failed to play a big knock. He scored 36 before becoming Jamieson's third victim on day one.

With India struggling at 145/4. debutant Shreyas Iyer and Ravindra Jadeja steadied India's ship, adding an unbeaten 113 runs for the fifth wicket before stumps were called on the opening day.

Iyer scored 75* to notch up his maiden Test half-century.  Meanwhile, Jadeja continued his upward surge with a bat, smashing a fine 50*.

India will resume play on day two at 258/4.
