There is some big news coming in from the Wankhede Stadium after the start of day 1 has been delayed due to a wet outfield. The inspection will now be held at 10:30 AM IST. The first session is likely to be washed out by the looks of it. Early Lunch being taken is a possibility. 

New Zealand captain Kane Williamson has been ruled out of the 2nd test due to his ongoing issues with his left elbow. Tom Latham will be leading the side.
