England are taking on hosts New Zealand in the second test and the visitors seemed to have dominated the game by Day 2. The rain having the last laugh on Day 2, the Day 3 might be played a bit earlier to cover the remaining overs which were supposed to be bowled on Day 2.
The action will begin early to cover up the lost overs, so the first ball will be bowled at 3 am IST (9.30 pm GMT, Previous Day).
Brief Score: England 435/8 decl. (Harry Brook 186, Joe Root 153*; Matt Henry 4-100, Michael Bracewell 2-54) lead New Zealand 138/7 (Tom Latham 35; Jack Leach 3-45, James Anderson 3-37) by 297 runs
