The lower order then came out trying to slog the spinners out of the field but failed in their design.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The second four-day match between India and New Zealand A will be played at the same venue here on September 30.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Brief Scores: India A 320 (Shreyas Iyer 108, Rishabh Pant 67, Ish Sodhi 5-94) beat New Zealand A 147 (Seifert 35, Nadeem 4\/39, Karn 4\/58) and 142 (Worker 35, Karn 4\/62, Nadeem 4\/51) by an innings and 31 runs.<\/p>\r\n",
