Wet Outfield Delays India-New Zealand Final Test

Nagpur: The third and final Test of the three-match series between India and New Zealand has been delayed due to wet outfield at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Jamtha, Nagpur.

There's been plenty of rain over the past few days in Nagpur because of which the outfield is a bit wet, particularly around the boundary. The only good news is there was no overnight rain.

Umpire Simon Taufel said in his TV interview that the area from fine-leg to third man is quite damp and we will keep on checking the conditions with the groundstaff.

After not being able to break the deadlock in the first two Tests in Ahmedabad and Hyderabad respectively, the Indian team, led by Mahendra Singh Dhoni, will be looking to go all out for an elusive victory against the New Zealanders at Nagpur.

Even Daniel Vettori-led Black Caps would also be aiming to script a historic away series win against India. This will also be the last chance, before the World Cup, for Sachin Tendulkar to complete his historic 50th Test ton in front of his countrymen.
