India vs New Zealand 1st Test 2024 live stream: How to watch cricket online from Bangalore, Black Caps need 107 runs on final day

The India vs New Zealand 1st Test begins what should be a fascinating three-match series between these two great cricketing nations – and you can watch India vs New Zealand 1st Test 2024 live streams from anywhere with a VPN.

This has been a topsy-turvy Test match, and the outcome is far from certain as we head into the final day. After a disastrous first innings in which they scored only 46, India put on a strong second innings total of 462 all out. This was largely down to Sarfaraz Khan and Rishabh Pant. The first scored 150, while the second will be devastated to have been bowled on 99. Amidst runs and weather disruptions, the Black Caps battled on, with Matt Henry and William O’Rourke taking two wickets each,

After coming in to bat for four balls before the weather brought an end to the day, New Zealand still need 107 runs to win this Test. Skipper Tom Latham and Deveon Conway will start the day at the crease having not scored a run from those deliveries. They will clearly fancy their chances of reaching that total if there is a decent amount of play tomorrow. The players and fans alike will be looking at the weather forecasts, hoping we get a proper conclusion to this fascinating contest.
