New Zealand beat India by eight wickets in Bengaluru Sunday to record their first Test win on Indian soil for 36 years.
Chasing 107 on a rain-delayed fifth day, New Zealand lost captain Tom Latham without scoring and Devon Conway, before Will Young with 48 and Rachin Ravindra, 39, took them to 110-2 and a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
New Zealand had won just two Tests in India in 36 outings, in 1969 at Nagpur and in 1988 at Mumbai.
Play began an hour late at 10:15 am local time (0445 GMT) and intermittent rain is forecast throughout the day.
New Zealand dismissed India for 462 in their second innings.
India was bowled out for 46 having won the toss and opting to bat after the opening day’s play was washed out without a ball being bowled. New Zealand replied with 402 in their first innings.
The second Test begins on October 24 in Pune, with the third starting on November 1 in Mumbai.
