Team India got going with the first warm-up game against New Zealand at the Oval on Sunday, with as many as 13 players available to feature in the practice game. Rohit Sharma and Yuvraj Singh, both were ruled out of the encounter for different reasons, but that didn't stop skipper Kohli from testing the various options he had at his disposal.

While Yuvraj is recovering from a viral fever, Rohit has been granted permission to attend a family wedding by the team management.

New Zealand captain Kane Williams won the toss and elected to bat against India in their first practice match.

Brief Scores: New Zealand 119/6 after 24 overs. Santener 11*, Neesham 2*
