Kanpur Nov 25 PTI Indian batter Shubman Gill was all praise for New Zealand pacer Kyle Jamiesons vicious in-dipper that breached through his defences admitting that he couldnt read the delivery as he wasnt expecting reverse swing just after lunch on the opening day of the first Test here Gill who scored 52 looked in good touch before Jamieson got one to curl back in and it bowled the India opener lock stock and barrel during the post-lunch session I think he Jamieson bowled pretty well today especially in the first spell he bowled pretty good areas to me and after lunch the whole spell that he bowled was top notch Gill said after the end of days play The problem with his dismissal was early reverse swing according to Gill as the ball was merely 30 overs old Sometimes its difficult to start knowing when its reverse-swinging and especially after coming back from lunch I didnt expect the ball to reverse that early in the game Gill was frank in his admission Thats the thing about Test cricket you have to read the conditions fast In this particular innings I wasnt able to read that ball well as generally I wasnt expecting the ball to reverse On the day he handled New Zealands spin duo of Ajaz Patel and Will Somerville with ease and he attributed it to playing Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja in the nets If you are already playing two of the best spinners in nets especially in India it does help because if you try to negotiate them you have a much better chance of going in the middle of the match and trying to handle those crucial periods of time He was all praise for Shreyas Iyer for handling a tricky situation after India lost three wickets in the post-lunch session As far as his own batting is concerned what he liked was playing in front of fans who were kept out of stadiums for a long time due to the COVID-19 pandemic Obviously it felt good to be able to play a match in India with crowd back and we are looking forward towards the rest of match While he has opened the batting Gill reminded that if need be he can bat in the middle-order too I have opened for my state team India A in first-class matches in other countries I have batted in middle order as well its more on the mental side rather than technique Gill is also enjoying the fact that Rahul Dravid is now at the helm of the team someone who has mentored him in his formative years in age group cricket It does make a difference when you gave played age-group cricket under him You would know what to expect from that person Rahul sir was with us throughout our Under-19 days and not just the World Cup but the entire journey we had he concluded PTI KHS PM PM

Kanpur Nov 25 PTI New Zealand pacer Kyle Jamieson on Thursday said his team will need to make the most of the second new ball when play resumes on the second morning of the first Test against India here Their first aim will be to break the flourishing partnership between Shreyas Iyer and Ravindra Jadeja By stumps on the first day the two had put on 113 runs for the fifth wicket to take India to 254 for four rescuing the hosts after a wobble in the second session Hopefully the new ball swings a little bit in the morning and we can get them We need a good start in the morning Jamieson said after returning with impressive figures of 3 for 47 With the wickets of Mayank Agarwal Shubman Gill and Ajinkya Rahane the tall Jamieson left India stuttering at 145 for four in the second session However the duo of debutant Iyer and Jadeja handed the momentum back to India and the Kiwi pacer had no qualms in admitting that India fraction ahead I think We hung around pretty well he said On a surface with variable bounce India did quite well to end the day at 258 for four after losing three wickets in the second session Not a huge amount going on Found some swing early and it was up and down a little bit Appearing in only his third Test abroad Jamieson is aware that the challenge of playing Test cricket in India will be different from what it is back home The 26-year-old was part of the New Zealand team that reached the final of the T20 World Cup but he did not get game time in the UAE He also got injured in England Its nice to be back out there Probably I think not having game time in the IPL and World Cup gave me a chance to take a step back and work on a few things Hardly played the last couple of months Nice to get back onto the park Jamieson who has made a record-breaking start to Test cricket with 49 wickets in just nine appearances including the ongoing game is on his first tour of the country with the national team As the Kiwis started their WTC title defence Jamieson entered the scene with five five-wicket hauls and an incredible average of 1417 in the five-day format I am not trying to change my game very lucky to have guys like Tim Southee and Wags Neil Wagner with me I think we re pretty good we had our discussion before the game on how to go about things Lucky to get some movement early on little bit of reverse in the middle We do know the nature of the pitch here they do tend to break up PTI AH AH ATK ATK

Kanpur Nov 25 PTI Kyle Jamieson pitched the ball in right areas to strike thrice as New Zealand pegged India back restricting them to 154 for four at tea on the first day of the opening Test after skipper Ajinkya Rahane and his deputy Cheteshwar Pujara failed to convert their starts Jamieson 338 who picked up Mayank Agarwal in the opening session removed a well-set Shubman Gill 52 off 93 balls and Rahane 35 off 63 balls in the afternoon using the variable bounce to good effect Cheteshwar Pujara 26 off 88 balls was done in by a beauty from Tim Southee that reversed in and then shaped away to reach Tom Blundell gloves Funnily on a track that kept low and slow and didnt offer much turn New Zealand spinners Ajaz Patel 056 in 15 overs and Will Somerville 028 in 13 overs were disappointing But Rahane would be gutted as he hit six lovely boundaries before dragging one in as he expected the ball to bounce more considering Jamiesons height Before that Gill who hit a sublime fifty had a big gap between bat and pad which helped Jamiesons incutter breach his defence Debutant Shreyas Iyer 17 batting looked confident in that brief period before tea Comeback man Gill settled down nicely after initial nervous moments to remain unbeaten on 52 as India looked good during that first session that fetched 82 runs Gill who missed out on the England Test series due to a shin injury played some delightful shots all round the wicket to reach his fourth Test half-century but more importantly has put the New Zealand spinners on back-foot His fellow opening partner Mayank Agarwal 13 off 28 balls wasted a God given opportunity when he nicked one from Jamieson that moved a shade from length to be caught by Blundell Pujara was playing his own game but that didnt affect India as Gill after seeing off Tim Southees first spell was severe on left-arm spinner Pateldisturbing his length with both cuts and drives The duo added 61 runs for the second wicket after India captain Ajinkya Rahane rightly decided to make first use of a Green Park track where the ball has started keeping low with very little pace off the pitch Gill had in fact successfully appealed for a DRS when Southee had an on-field leg-before appeal reversed But once Patel came into the attack one saw a different Gill in action Anything short was either square-cut or back-cut and whenever the Mumbai-born spinner tried to toss one up Gill would swiftly come to the pitch of the delivery to drive him off length Gills attacking batting did have an effect on off-spinner William Somerville who set a defensive field putting a deep square leg and long-on with an eye on stopping the boundaries PTI KHS BS BS
