During the second day of the ongoing final match of the ICC World Test Championship between India and New Zealand in Southampton, bad light stopped play not once but thrice to become a hindrance in front of an otherwise interesting day of Test cricket.
After New Zealand captain Kane Williamson won the toss and chose to field, India opening batsmen Rohit Sharma (34) and Shubman Gill (28) put together a composed 62-run opening partnership.
As India started to lose wickets at the Ageas Bowl, captain Virat Kohli (44 not out) and vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane (29 not out) joined hands to share an unbeaten 58-run partnership for the fourth wicket. Having scored 146/3 in 64.4 overs, India will resume from here only on the third day as play has been called-off on Day 2.
