New Delhi: New Zealand made good use of their time in the middle against a mediocre Mumbai attack on Day One of their only warm-up match ahead of the three-Test series against India here yesterday.
With the pitch having a thin grass cover, the ball did not spin much, allowing the visiting batsmen to bat freely.
Captain Kane Williamson (50 off 56 balls) had a comfortable stay at the crease and so did opener Tom Latham (55 off 97), Ross Taylor (41 off 57) and Mitchell Santner (45 off 59) as New Zealand declared their first innings at 324 for seven with an hour left for stumps.
Mumbai, in response, were 29 for one in 13 overs with the talented Arman Jaffer (24) and Kaustubh Pawar (5) at the crease when the stumps were drawn.
