After 63 overs,New Zealand 143/0 ( Tom Latham 52 , Will Young 85)
Latham misses yet another sweep at the start of the over, the ball staying low well outside off. Ashwin ends up conceding a wide two balls later, firing this one well outside off. Another chance goes begging as Latham edges towards slip, the ball once again falling short of skipper Rahane. Plenty of chances created so far today, but the low bounce seems to be creating issues for the fielders. Two from the over.

If Tommy Latham gets a ton here India might go back to refusing to use DRS at home 😂

"Little bit of dew on the ground. Let’s see how the ball is behaving in the first one or two overs and then we’ll plan. It won’t swing or reverse, will just go straight. Might get a bit of normal swing. Can’t go expecting that it will swing. Whatever happens, I will go through it. That’s what we generally do in India. If nothing is happening, we just keep bowling in those areas and wait for something to happen. Pressure should always be on them,” says Ishant Sharma in a chat with the broadcasters ahead of start of play.

Will Young's unbeaten 75 was the standout batting performance on the second day of the first Test, the right-handed opener taking the attack to the Indians at a time when Tom Latham was maintaining a cautious approach. It was his knock which helped push the Indians on the backfoot and allowed the Kiwi openers to dictate the proceedings in the afternoon and evening sessions.

Welcome to our live coverage of Day 3 of the first Test between India and New Zealand at the Green Park in Kanpur, with the game having tilted in the Black Caps' favour on Friday after commanding performances displayed by Tim Southee as well as openers Will Young and Tom Latham.
India vs New Zealand Live Score, Final Cricket Score and Live Streaming, Latest Updates: Ishant starts off with a couple of full deliveries outside off before digging it short in the third aiming the batter’s helmet. Young pulls, and nearly ends up serving a catch to midwicket. Boundary off the fourth as Young glances at a full delivery going down leg, guiding it towards the fine leg fence. Four from the over.
India vs New Zealand, 1st Test Day 2 report: Tom Latham and Will Young defied India to lead New Zealand to 129 without loss in reply to the home side's 345 on Day 2 Friday of the first Test.
After Tim Southee bowled the Black Caps back into contention with a five-for, Latham and Young produced the first century opening partnership by a visiting team on Indian soil in five years.
At stumps, Latham was 50 not out and Young 75 not out. Play ended due to bad light with three overs remaining.
They trail by 216 runs after bowling out India for 345 three overs after lunch.
Shreyas Iyer, on 75 overnight, achieved a century on debut and was out for a team-best 105. Iyer became the 16th India batsman to score a hundred on Test debut. He faced 171 balls, hit 13 fours and two sixes.
“I was happy the way everything went on day one. (But) I couldn't get any sleep last night,” Iyer said. "I had to still focus again today. I was up early at 5 a.m., but when you make a century, it is a wonderful feeling. (After presenting his cap), Sunil Gavaskar motivated me and told me to enjoy the moment.”
Starting from an overnight 258-4, India lost Ravindra Jadeja on 50 in the third over of the day. He added 121 runs for the fifth wicket with Iyer.
India ended up losing 6-87 on Friday.
Southee took 5-69 and fellow fast bowler Kyle Jamieson 3-91. Spinner Ajaz Patel made short work of the tail to finish with 2-90 from a team-high 29.1 overs.
Thereafter, New Zealand didn't give a single whiff to the India bowlers.
Latham and Young added 72 runs before tea and completely stumped the India attack with their defiance.
Their 50-run stand came up in 125 balls.
After tea, they continued to grind against the spinners, who were at fault for bowling too flat.
Ravichandran Ashwin (0-38), Ravindra Jadeja (0-28) and Axar Patel (0-26) bowled 41 overs of the 57 faced by the openers.
Latham was forced to use reviews and overturned three dismissal decisions against him on 0, 10, and 50.
He went on to score his 21st Test half-century off 157 balls, including four fours.
Young played more attacking cricket as he finished the day with 12 boundaries. His second half-century came off 88 deliveries.
Theirs is the highest opening stand by New Zealand in India in 17 years.
“New Zealand got off to a good start but it's important for us to not leak runs because the cracks are opening up (on the pitch) and it should get trickier tomorrow,” Iyer said.
