India scored at a brisk pace to rattle up 375 for nine in their first innings on the opening day of the third and final cricket Test against New Zealand, mainly relying on some lusty hitting by the tailenders, here today.

Put into bat, the Indians adopted an aggressive approach right through the innings to score at a run rate of 4.16 per over on a Basin Reserve pitch to leave the series decider interestingly poised at the end of Day One.
