A good short ball from Southee as Agarwal avoids before he pulls the next short ball through square leg for a four.
Two balls later, Southee gets revenge as he gets Agarwal caught at point as the opener cuts a short ball straight to Tom Blundell, who does well to hold on to a sharp chance.
Agarwal also fails to carry on after getting to a good start on his debut, as he walks back disappointed after scoring 32 from 31 balls.
Kohli and Shreyas Iyer will look to build on the good start provided by the two openers and stitch together a major partnership in the middle overs.
De Grandhomme bowls three dot balls in a row to Kohli, who then taps it to mid-on and takes a quick run to get off the mark.
India will be disappointed that the two openers failed to carry on after getting off to starts as they reach 55 for two in 10 overs, on a good wicket for batting.
