India won a toss delayed by more than two hours by a wet outfield and passing showers, but no play was possible. The decision to abandon the match was made shortly before 7 p.m. local time, when steadier and more heavy rain meant there was no chance of preparing Seddon Park for play before the cut off time of 8 p.m. Rain also affected the first match of the series in Auckland, which India won by five wickets, and the second in Wellington, which India won by four runs to take a 2-0 series lead. Both were decided under the Duckworth-Lewis system The teams now move to Mount Mauganui on New Zealand's North Island for the fourth and fifth matches on Friday and Sunday. India can no longer lose the series but New Zealand still has a chance to draw level. ___ See AP's full cricket coverage here
