  "account": "Christchurch witnessed an inspiring comeback for India A as they weathered early setbacks to reach 291/7 on Day 1 of their second unofficial Test against New Zealand A. Captain Dhruv Jurel's unbeaten 99 proved decisive, standing firm alongside Manav Suthar as the lower-order staged a vital recovery. India A's innings began poorly with Yashasvi Jaiswal falling for a duck in the first over. Devdutt Padikkal and Sai Sudharsan steadied proceedings with a valuable 91-run partnership. However, the middle-order fell apart, losing three wickets for just six runs when Sheat claimed crucial wickets. Jurel, supported by Suthar and Akash Deep, guided India A to a much stronger position by the close of play. New Zealand A's bowlers, led by Fraser Sheat, attempted to build on their early breakthroughs.",
