Heading into Day 5 of the ongoing Test against New Zealand, India pacer Umesh Yadav on Monday said that the ball needs to be bowled a tad slower on the Kanpur wicket in order to get more swing.

"So far, it has been good. After a long time, I am playing a Test so it takes time to regain rhythm. I think my body is a little better because we had four-day camp in Mumbai heading into this series against New Zealand. I feel New Zealand bowlers were trying to swing the ball and we were trying to hit the deck in the first innings. For the ball to swing more, I feel we need to bowl a tad slower," Umesh told host broadcaster Star Sports before the start of play on Day 5.
