Rain has once again stopped play
and covers are on
Match State: Delay - Day 5 - Rain
03.25 GMT - The rain is still falling and the heavy covers remain
on. The drizzle and fog have set in and it appear unlikely the
Test will restart. We await word from the umpires or a break in
the rain.
And the confirmation comes. The days play and the match have been
abandoned and New Zealand escape with a draw.
Adam Gilchrist collects the man of the match award.
Please join us for the third and final Test of the series from
Auckland on March 26.
