India vs New Zealand testmatch Live cricket

Hyderabad: A reality check awaits Team India as it gears up to begin life without the famed batting duo of Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman when they take on a lowly New Zealand in the first Test of the two-match series starting here from Thursday.

Welcome one and all to the first Test between India and New Zealand from Hyderabad.
India are playing a Test match after a gap of seven months and will look to start this season on a high.

 New Zealand, on the other hand, are coming off a disastrous tour of the West Indies where they were walloped across all formats. On paper, India look the favorites but New Zealand are capable of putting up a fight.

India and New Zealand are also playing in the U-19 semi-final at Townsville. NZ restricted India to 209/9, with left-arm spinner Ben Horne being the pick of the bowlers with 3/28.

Pitch report: It's evenly rolled, but it's very dry, with no grass whatsoever. We expect the pitch to take turn as the Test match progresses. The pitch has a bit of dampness, which will aid faster bowlers initially. With the humidity around, it might swing, but it will be tough conditions for the Kiwis.

1st Test, Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad, India, Thu, 23 - Mon, 27 Aug 2012 09:30 AM IST
India won the toss & elected to bat .

    Arjun Tendulkar

    While Sachin Tendulkar will be playing his third Ranji Trophy game of the season for Mumbai's senior side in the semifinal against Services in Delhi, son Arjun is set to represent the under-14 team in the West Zone league games in Ahmedabad. Though the addition of a 'Tendulkar' to the Mumbai U-14 side adds spice to the zonal games, Tendulkar senior called for Arjun to be treated as just another member. "Like any other parent I feel happy and proud that he is a part of the Mumbai U-14 team. His hard work has paid off. I hope that people leave him alone to enjoy this beautiful game as a normal member of the team," said Tendulkar. The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) said that Arjun will not be treated any differently from the way the others would be.  "He is an attacking batsman, which should be an asset for us," PV Shetty, MCA's joint secretary, told HT. In May 2012, Arjun had slammed 124 to help Khar Gymkhana beat Goregaon Centre in the se...
