India fought well with the loss of just one wicket yesterday and unless anything dramatic happens in the first session of play this morning, the game appears destined for a draw.

As predicted, yesterday was a stunning day in the Bay and today doesn’t look to be too different from that either.

Lots of sunshine is expected again with a full days play likely and temperatures getting into the 20s once more.

Wellington is the host of the 3rd test starting later in the week and the weather is still looking mostly dry with northerlies for much of the match.
