India v New Zealand, 3rd Test, Nagpur, 1st day

McKay Debut as New Zealand Elect to Bat Against India

Nagpur: New Zealand skipper Daniel Vettori won the toss and decided to bat against India in the delayed third and final Test of the three-match series in Nagpur on Saturday.

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

There was no play during the entire morning session and now the match will start after lunch break at 12.30pm. A minimum of 70 overs will be bowled in the remaining two sessions.

The first session after break will be played between 12.30 and 2.40pm and the next between 3.00 and 5.30pm. Andy McKay will make his Test debut for New Zealand.

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

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.

If Tendulkar fails to reach the three figure mark in Nagpur, he would still have a chance to reach the milestone in South Africa. But completing the half century of Test tons in front of his countrymen would surely be extra special.
