Day 1 update: Play is underway and New Zealand have chosen to bat.

The tourists beat the home side for a second time last week after Mitchell Santner bowled New Zealand to a historic win in Pune. New Zealand won the second Test by 113 runs and hold an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match Test series.

Rohit Sharma said: "I didn't expect ball to seam around in Bengaluru. Same here, you can't know how much it will spin. We had three spinners because we wanted to keep balance. If there is variable bounce, we need the seamers to come in. But the spinners were doing the job."
