WELLINGTON (Reuters) - Light rain has postponed India's seemingly inevitable victory in the third and final test against New Zealand on Tuesday.
New Zealand were 281 for eight, chasing an improbable 617 to win, in their second innings when a light rain shower passed over the Basin Reserve, forcing the players off 30 minutes after lunch.
Iain O'Brien was on 19, while New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori was on 15 after the hosts had lost Tim Southee for three early in the session when he was caught by wicketkeeper Mahendra Singh Dhoni off Harbhajan Singh.
India hold a 1-0 lead in the series after winning the first test in Hamilton by 10 wickets.
