India A closed day two of the first unofficial Test in Lincoln at 106 for two, still 98 runs behind New Zealand A. KL Rahul (four) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (five) failed again, raising concerns before India's Test series starting in late November.
Rahul and Jaiswal are expected to feature prominently in India's November Test series, so their poor returns here raise questions about their form. Padikkal and Sudharsan are pushing their own cases for national selection.
Watch day three to see whether Padikkal and Sai Sudharsan can erase the 98-run deficit.
