India vs New Zealand LIVE SCORE, Day 3 of Test 1: India sees early progress after Latham, Young laid a solid foundation

Welcome Sports star LIVE day coverage of the first test match between Green Park International Stadium outside India and New Zealand LIVE.

2. NEW DAYS

Calm and confident Tom Latham has now found an enterprising pair of Will Young, both of whom challenged the Indian bowlers for the best part of the five-hour stretch, to keep the first balanced test here after the Second Day. The prudence and care shown by the early ones could not displace India despite all the skills used by R. Ashwin & Co., as New Zealand crawled to 129 to 0 through the posts as it followed the 216 run in the first inning.

Young (75 bats, 180b) was entertained with some great shots – including drive, loft and sweep – although Latham (50 bats, 165b) was content to continue defending at the other end. Uninterrupted collaboration is now the first partnership in more than 100 years opened in India by a foreign couple.

Both batters showed their ability to handle the tour. They used their feet well, judged long ones early, and played with soft hands. They were happy to punish the odd loose submission and use the sweep shot well.
