Only Test Live Score, Day 1: India bat first in Mullanpur as Manav Suthar makes debut

Key points

• The New PCA Stadium in New Chandigarh, fresh from hosting IPL action, now makes its Test debut as India’s 31st Test venue.
• The pitch looks in good condition and is expected to be batting-friendly early on, similar to what was seen during the IPL.
• There is some dryness and a hint of overnight moisture that may assist seamers initially, but hot conditions around 40°C should help the surface settle quickly.
• Batters who get through the early spell are likely to enjoy good scoring conditions.
