Bengaluru: India were struggling at 13 for 3 when rain stopped play on day two of their opening Test against New Zealand here on Thursday. India lost the wickets of skipper Rohit Sharma (2), Virat Kohli (0) and Sarfaraz Khan (0) early in the morning.

Even though there was no rain and it seemed for the longest time that play will get underway on time (09:15 am IST) in the India vs New Zealand 1st Test at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, there was still a bit of delay.

Wednesday’s no-show in Bengaluru meant New Zealand have seen no slice of action for 18 successive Test sessions in India.
