8:30 AM: Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the India vs New Zealand 1st Test at Chinnaswamy Stadium. The Day 1 of the match was washed out by rain but it looks like action will resume on Day 2 as covers are off the ground despite overcast condition

Preview

On day 1 of the India vs. New Zealand match, no play occurred after rain washed out the first two sessions. The stop-start nature meant that there was just not enough time to get the match underway. However, Day 2 promises a start to the game with the covers off. Fans and players will hold out hope that some cricket can be played on day two, and that not too many more overs are lost to rain right at the beginning of the series.

India entered this series to produce 3-0 result which would be enough to seal their spot in the finals. However, if this match results in a draw after losing some days, India will have their task cut out with the need to produce results in Australia during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
