Mayank Agarwal mistimed the shot
Agarwal, who looked in good touch in the first Test, mistimed the shot and thus cost his wicket. Though his opening partner Prithvi Shaw, however, played a well-composed knock to show some resilience on top of the order.
Apart from Agarwal, Boult dismissed tailender Mohammed Shami, after he tried to onslaught and take on the New Zealand bowlers from the first delivery he faced.
Day 1 belonged to New Zealand
Kyle Jamieson ran through the Indian batting line-up to bag his first five-wicket haul as India were bundled out for 242 runs, before New Zealand took guard and put up a total of 63 for no loss on board to trail by 179 runs at stumps on Day 1 of the second Test.
With this performance on the opening day, New Zealand has laid foundation for a Test series clean sweep over India, and add 60 more points to their World Test Championship tally.
It was New Zealand fast bowler Jamieson, who continued his fine run in his debut series, and left most of the Indian batsmen struggling. He also recorded his personal best figures in a Test match.
It was the repeat of the opening Test, as New Zealand batsmen then got their team off to a good start in home conditions, showing the opposition how to make use of the track.
Tom Latham (27 not out) and opening partner Tom Blundell (29 not out) were unbeaten at crease when umpires called it a day
