KL Rahul and Jaiswal fail again as India A reach 106 for 2

KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal fell cheaply again on the second day of the first unofficial Test against New Zealand A at Bert Sutcliffe Oval in Lincoln. Rahul was dismissed hit-wicket for 4 off 15 balls, while Jaiswal managed 5 before being caught behind.

Devdutt Padikkal and Sai Sudharsan steadied the innings with an unbroken partnership of 97 runs, taking India A to 106 for 2 at stumps. The visitors still trail by 98 runs after New Zealand A posted 317 in their first innings.

Rahul will miss the remaining two unofficial Tests to join India's ODI squad. New Zealand A added 24 runs on the second morning before Anshul Kamboj dismissed Curtis Heaphy for 44.
