lunch report
India did not score very fast during the session as they scored only 64 runs in 28 overs but the consolidation act of the Agarwal-Akshar duo certainly put the hosts in command position.

Save Patel, who made good use of turn and bounce, keeping the batsmen calm for the better part of the session, the other New Zealand bowlers, despite being economical, didn’t look very penetrating.
In the morning, Saha got a perfect arm ball from Patel, which he tried to play on the back-foot and did well without going for the review, which would have been completely useless.
Coming forward Ashwin ruined a review as the next delivery post Saha’s dismissal was a flight that propelled the batsman forward and became just enough to clip Bell.
Ashwin happily appealed to the DRS without realizing that the ball had been bowled to him as he thought the bowler had appealed to catch back.
The review was doomed because they had already asked for it and once they found out they had beaten the lock, stock and barrel, they didn’t wait for the final verdict.
However, the credit for showing immense patience must go to Agarwal as he added only 26 runs in two hours to his unbeaten score of 120.
A few good innings at the first-class level and Axar, who had done well in the last Test, also looked comfortable.
