WORLD TWENTY20, Johannesburg:
New Zealand 0-0 (0 over) v India LATEST ACTION AS IT HAPPENS (ALL TIMES BST)
New Zealand 0-0 (0 over) v India LATEST ACTION AS IT HAPPENS (ALL TIMES BST)
e-mail tms@bbc.co.uk (with 'For Paul Fletcher' in the subject) or use 606 or text 81111 0857: By the way, the umpires are Mark Benson and Nigel Llong. Do you think the pen slipped when Llong's birth was registered and he ended up with a bonus L? 0855: Almost ready to start in Johannesburg. There is something about the word Johannesburg that always make me think of Elvis Costello. Oliver's Army is my brother's all-time favourite song and he likes to sing it again and again and again. WEATHER CHAT There should not be any worries with regards to this match as the sun is shining in Johannesburg. TOSS India win the toss and elected to field. TEAM NEWS India name the same side that defeated rivals Pakistan in a bowl-out the other day, while New Zealand make one change from the team hammered by Sri Lanka on Saturday.
Spinner Jeetan Patel comes in for seamer Chris Martin. The Black Caps are clearly opting to take the pace off the ball. Will it work? 0840: New Zealand are back in action today less than 24 hours after their sub-standard showing against Sri Lanka.
"We let ourselves down on the fielding side of things yesterday," said skipper Daniel Vettori. 0830 BST: Good morning, though I'm not sure what time this is for a game of cricket! If you are reading this from England perhaps you could let me know exactly why you're not in bed enjoying some well-needed sleep. Having said that, it is mid-morning on Sunday in India and early evening in New Zealand so fans watching from their respective countries have no excuses for not being pumped and ready for some high-octane cricket as their two teams get the Super Eight stage of the campaign under way. One point to bear in mind, I've not done one of these before and I hear it can all get a little hectic so take it easy with me. I also went for a pre-match curry so last night so if things go a little quiet for a while don't panic.
