Kanpur, Sep 23: Indian bowlers struggled hard without much success as New Zealand came up with a resolute performance to be 152/1 before rain washed out the final session on the second day of the opening Test here on Friday (September 23).

Resuming at 291/9, India were bowled out for 318 in the morning session. Umesh Yadav was the last Indian wicket to fall.

In response, New Zealand captain Kane Williamson (65 batting) and Tom Latham (56 batting) struck defiant half-centuries to take the visitors to 152 for one at the stroke of tea when the heavens opened up.

The score did not change after as rain rendered the field unplayable. New Zealand are trailing by 166 runs.

The match could not be re-started in the absence of a super-sopper.

Here are the images from second day's play:
