New Zealand were probably grateful that the second match in the one-day international series was washed out for it ruined India's chances of sweeping the series 5-0. Nothing has changed, though, and the bookies give the home side little chance of winning

Australia gave themselves some much-needed relief by finally getting a win under their belts with victory over New Zealand in the third one-day international on Sunday. They are, though, still 2-0 down in the series, and Tuesday's fourth match could yet s
