India vs New Zealand: New Zealand innings

India's seamers had New Zealand in all kinds of problems before stand-in captain Ross Taylor and Scott Styris launched a strong recovery with an unbeaten 95-run partnership in the opening game of the tri-series in Dambulla. There was sharp seam and swing movement in the early stages, followed by bite and turn for the slow bowlers, but New Zealand's most experienced top-order batsmen were up to the task to set their side on 288/10 at 48.5 overs.
