Wet outfield scraps first day of Aghan-NZ Test

GREATER NOIDA, SEPT 9: The first day's play of the one-off Test between Afghanistan and New Zealand was called off Monday without the toss due to earlier rain creating a wet outfield.

The toss is scheduled for 9:00 am on Tuesday, day two of the five-day contest, and officials aim to get 98 overs in during the day.

Umpires made repeated inspections throughout Monday at Afghanistan's adopted home ground near the Indian capital New Delhi at Greater Noida, the first Test at the venue.    —AFP
