According to the Times of India, India spent the morning indoors in Wellington after cancelling their training session because of the rain. The report said New Zealand were also unable to prepare properly, with their build-up to the second ODI disrupted by the wet conditions. Heavy rain is forecast for match day, raising the possibility of another washout, the Times of India reported. Mohammed Siraj's possible inclusion has added interest to the selection debate, while India hold a 1-0 lead in the five-match series.
