India A managed a resilient recovery on the second day of their opening unofficial Test against New Zealand A in Lincoln after losing early wickets. Following low scores from Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul, Devdutt Padikkal and Sai Sudharsan steadied the innings with an unbroken 96-run partnership to leave the visiting side at 106 for two by stumps.

Earlier in the match, New Zealand A posted a first-innings total of 317, built around a 76-run knock from Rhys Mariu and contributions from Dean Foxcroft and Kristian Clarke, which established a 204-run lead. Bowlers Anshul Kamboj and Auqib Nabi each collected three wickets for the touring side, while teammates Akash Deep, Washington Sundar, and Mukesh Choudhary also chipped in with dismissals.
