Rain halts New Zealand progress
First Test, Dunedin (day two, close):
New Zealand 226-4 v West Indies
Dates: 11-15 December Start time: 2300 GMT (10-14 December)
Heavy overnight rain and showers during the day meant no play was possible on day two of the opening Test between New Zealand and West Indies in Dunedin.
Prospects were always poor when the day began with a sodden outfield, and despite some energetic mopping up, the weather continued to play spoilsport.
The last three days will start half an hour earlier to make up for lost time.
New Zealand will resume on 226-4 and there's a good weekend forecast, but rain might return on Monday.
