Nagpur, Nov 20: The final Test match of the three match series between India and New Zealand stands delayed due to a wet outfield at theVidarbha Cricket Association Stadium here in Jamtha, Nagpur. Nagpur has been experiencing rain over the last few days, which has left the outfield, closer to the boundary ropes, unsuitable for play.
The groundsmen are hard at work in order to get the game underway at the earliest and the good news is that the sun is out. The next inspection will take place shortly, at about 11:45 am.
India are without the services of Zaheer Khan for this Test, while New Zealand are expected to play an unchanged side from the last game for this match.
The Teams (probable playing XIs):
India: MS Dhoni (c & wk), Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman, Suresh Raina, Harbhajan Singh, Ishant Sharma, Pragyan Ojha, S Sreesanth
New Zealand: Daniel Vettori (c), Brendon McCullum, Tim McIntosh, Martin Guptill, Ross Taylor, Jesse Ryder, Kane Williamson, Gareth Hopkins (wk), Chris Martin, Tim Southee, Brent Arnel
