Tuesday rain
It would be a damn shame if rain were to disrupt the final test, though NZ needs all the help they can get. We’re only a couple wickets away from our rather long tail (though Southee can give the tail a violent wag)
Based on the 3-day forecast, play should start on time. However, we should be getting a mm or two some time during the second session. That might only be a bit of drizzle. The real rain shouldn’t be appearing until well after the scheduled end.
So it is not an escape that we can rely on. There’ll be nothing for it but to bat out the 80 or so overs that light should allow.
