A light drizzle has delayed the start of play on Day 5 in Southampton. The Test match has already lost two full days of action due to rain.
While showcasing his displeasure with the weather down south, Vaughan also went on to take a sly dig at the Indian team.
Even earlier, when the first day of play was washed out, Vaughan had tweeted along similar lines.
It cannot be denied that New Zealand is currently in the driver’s seat in the WTC final as they trail by 116 runs in the first innings with eight wickets in hand.
India will have to mount a massive comeback on Day 5 to restrict the Kiwis to a low score in the first innings.
VVS Laxman gives a blueprint of how India can restrict New Zealand on Day 5
Former batsman VVS Laxman wants to see the Indian bowlers bowl a bit fuller when they come out to bowl on Day 5. He also suggested bowlers pepper the likes of Ross Taylor and Colin de Grandhomme with short balls.
Speaking on Hotstar’s ‘Cricket Cravings with Jatin’, Laxman stated:
The ICC has kept a reserve day for the Test match, which will be used. However, with more rain disrupting play at the Ageas Bowl today, a draw seems to be the most likely result of the much anticipated WTC final.
In case of a draw, India and New Zealand would be declared as joint winners.
