    "editor1": "<p><strong>Christchurch, Feb 29:&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;Opener Prithvi Shaw scored a quick-fire fifty as India came out with an improved batting performance in the morning session of the second Test against New Zealand at the Hagley Oval.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>At Lunch on Saturday, Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat Kohli remained unbeaten at the crease on 15 and 3 respectively as India reached 85\/2.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Earlier, the start of the match was delayed due to a light drizzle.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Kohli once again lost the toss and was put into bat by Kane Williamson in bowling-friendly conditions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Mayank Agarwal and Shaw provided Indian with a quick start and collected 30 runs from the first five overs. However, Agarwal, who was among the runs in Wellington, couldn&#39;t stay long this time around and was trapped in front by Trent Boult after scoring just seven.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Despite losing his opening partner, 20-year-Shaw didn&#39;t deter from playing his attacking mode of cricket and along with Pujara, saw off the difficult period wherein all the New Zealand pacers bowled on probing lines.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Shaw kept on scoring boundaries and never let the hosts build pressure.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Both stitched a 50-run stand for the second wicket during the course of which Shaw scored his first fifty on foreign soil.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, just when India appeared to be taking the advantage, Shaw became the victim of brilliance shown by Tom Latham at slips.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Latham took a brilliant, one handed catch off the bowling of Kyle Jamieson to dismiss Shaw at 54.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Kohli, who came in next, then made sure India didn&#39;t lose any further wickets till the end of the session and played with patience.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Brief scores: India 85\/2 at Lunch (Prithvi Shaw 54, Cheteshwar Pujara 13*; Kyle Jamieson 1\/18)<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
