GUWAHATI, Oct 20: After being bundled out for 462 runs in second innings, India are looking to delay the inevitable and are seeking some divine intervention to save the first test of the series against New Zealand at Bengaluru.
The visitors need 107 runs to win and take a 1-0 lead in the series.
Heavy rains and then bad light forced early closure of play as only four balls could be bowled in the New Zealand second innings.
The match has resumed on Day 5 after a pitch inspection was carried out at 9:45 am. In the second ball of the day, Jasprit Bumrah struck, dismissing Tom Latham for a duck.
