  Inspection in six-seven minutes

  The umpires are going to take a look at things. The rain has weakened significantly. They just want to assess the situation. Hopefully, there will be good news coming our way. To begin with, the toss would do.

  India have done well so far

  They have won the T20I series 3-2, are leading five-ODI series 2-0 at present and are favourites to win the rubber. New Zealand tours are difficult, so having that in mind, the visitors have done well so far. However, the real challenge awaits them in the two-Test series later this month. To stay alive in the World Test Championship (WTC), they have to win the series, preferably 2-0.

  It does not look good at all

  The umbrellas are out. By the look of things, it's not going to start any time soon. It appears it's going to be an on-and-off thing all day. Overcast all around. This is not what you wake up early for. The pitch and the area around is entirely covered.

  Seems like it's going to be a long haul today for the ground staff. The rain is back, so is it cover. This is the third successive game affected by rain. The previous two games have been lowscorers and one wonders if rain made them so.

  Put to bat first on a seam-friendly Auckland track in the series opener, New Zealand were folded for 185 with Anshul Kamboj being the pick of the bowlers with his economical 2/22 in 10 overs, while Arsdeep Singh picked up four wickets. India chased it down in 22.4 overs for the loss of five wickets.

  The Wellington clash was interrupted by rain. Gurnoor Brar's four-for helped India fold New Zealand for just 134 runs. And yet it wasn't an easy chase for India. Gill and Kohli fell early. However, effors from Rohit Sharma, Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul helped India stay above the DLS score when rain arrived. India eventually got over the line, winning by 4 runs on DLS method.
