Obviously, we would have liked to have kept them to probably under 240 there, but we\u2019ve still got the firepower and the belief in this shed. So I think for us, the way we start, hopefully we can get a good read of the wicket and put them under some pressure,\u201d said Henry in a mid-innings chat with the broadcasters.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>New Zealand's plan of using slower balls proved to be too costly as India's top three batters picked them with ease and regularly dispatched them with authority over the boundary ropes. Henry explained that the bowling plan had been to take pace off early against India\u2019s big-hitting batters.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cObviously, that\u2019s tough.

Then, from there, they actually looked to accelerate and put us under a lot of pressure. So obviously, it didn\u2019t look like when you\u2019re coming out from ball one, giving yourself a couple of balls. But for us, it's frustrating one, but I think we still back our boys to get this done.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5>Article Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ians.in\/english-wire\/sports\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">IANS<\/a><\/h5>",
