Day 1 of the first Test between India vs New Zealand belonged to Shreyas Iyer. The Mumbai man did complete justice to his Test debut and took India to the shores of safety after the hosts suffered a mini-collapse of sorts after opting to bat at Kanpur's Green Park. Day 2 belonged to Iyer, Tim Southee, Will Young and Tom Latham. Starting on overnight 258/4, Iyer's maiden century and a useful 38 from Ravi Ashwin helped India finish at 345 all out, thanks to Tim Southee's 5/69. He also became the first overseas player since 1980 to take a fifer at Kanpur. Thereafter it was all Young and Latham. Not only they negate the Indian bowling attack but also made sure New Zealand don't lose a wicket on the day as the Kiwis finished at 129 without loss. For India, they need to break this partnership as soon as possible on Day 3 to have a chance in the match
