India A lose four wickets in first hour against New Zealand A

India A lost four wickets inside the opening hour on day one of the second unofficial Test in Christchurch. Fraser Sheat took three of those wickets after New Zealand A chose to field first. Yashasvi Jaiswal was trapped lbw in the first over and two more batters fell to balls outside the off stump.

Devdutt Padikkal made 80 off 140 balls before he too departed. Sai Sudharsan scored 41. India A reached 291 for seven in 88 overs with Dhruv Jurel and Washington Sundar adding 23 runs from 87 balls to steady the innings.

Jaiswal has not scored a red-ball half-century since August and was omitted from India's ODI squad for the New Zealand series.
