Big positives for NZ after 1st Test

Big positives for NZ to take out of this first game, and they deserve plenty of credit for really pushing India onto the back foot.

The batting was impressive, they were disciplined and patient in registering a more than competitive total. Williamson was outstanding, his understanding of what was required on that pitch was instant, now I don't know if we can expect a more free flowing innings on a pitch with more pace in it, or if he is by nature a watchful player with a very good temperament, as I haven't seen too much of him. He certainly got it right here anyway. I'm looking forward to seeing more of him.

It was Martin's effort that got NZ into a position of potentially winning the game against the odds, great wholehearted effort from him.
