Welcome to the Basin Reserve for the second Test of the National
Bank Series between the CLEAR Black Caps and England.
The weather here in Wellington is not conducive to playing cricket
at all today.
Showers have been coming and going all morning and a stiff wind
from the north west is gusting across the ground.
The famous Basin bank is empty at the moment adn the covers are
still well and truely on.
The scheduled start time is rapidly approaching and the ground
staff are still working hard to remove water from the surface of
teh covers and the area around the covers.
This would have to be the worst weather seen at the Basin on a
match day this season, if not for a very long time.
Weather early on in the first class season could not have been said
to be first class, however it did improve through out Febuary.
Today however that trend seems to have been turned on its head and
the picture is not positive as drizzle hangs over the backdrop of
Mount Victoria.
Even if it wasn't raining, the light here is also probably not up
to standard.
Many of the cars on surrounding roads have their headlights on.
As time progresses, the rain just falls harder and harder and play
looks less and less likely.
Word has just come through from the umpires that on the advice of
the groundsman, the ground will take four hours to prepare one the
rain has stopped.
At this stage at looks as if a decision will be made between 1300
and 1400 local time.
The weather has brightened up slightly, however the drizzle still
remains.
In the middle of the ground, a photographer seems to be taking
advantage of what may become the leading story of the day, photos
of the ground staff hard at work, removing water from the covers.
Just as the rain looked like easing off, it has decided to come
down even harder, Mount Victoria, or Mount Vic as it is known to
the locals is covered in sheets of rain.
As time goes on and more rain fall, play looks less and less likely
to commence on day one here at the Basin.
Rain is now coming down in sheets and the wind has kept up, chances
of play are becoming slimmer and slimmer.
The call has just come through and play has been abandoned for the
day without a ball being bowled at 1230 local time.
The weather had the upper hand all morning and after deliberation
between the umpires and the groundsman, play has been called off.
That is it for the day from the Basin Reserve, although it never
really started, and it seems that the weather is just getting
worse and worse along with the light.
welcome to the Basin Reserve in Wellington for the second day of
the second National Bank Test between New Zealand and England
the news is better than yesterday, but not yet quite good enough,
with it being very sunny here and a strong drying breeze blowing,
but there's been plenty of seepage beneath the covers, leaving
many troubling damp and muddy spots
the groundstaff have driers near some of them, and are running the
roller over hessian strips on top of the particularly moist areas
to bring up excess water to the surface
but considering all that needs to be done, we're certainly not
going to get a start before lunch, and it'll probably be closer to
tea before we get a chance to see the first action in this match
the forecast is much better today, so there must be some hope for
play with no rain forecast at this stage, but just how much is in
the hands of the groundsmen and umpires
the New Zealand team have made an appearance to inspect the
conditions, but the England side haven't yet bothered to leave
their team hotel
we'll bring you more updates as they come to hand, but for the time
being we're set for a few hours delay
Match State: Delay - Day 2 - Damp ground conditions delay start of play
The umpires will inspect the ground at 1400 local time as reports
suggest that ground state is improving.
The weather has steadily imporved and now bright sunshine bathes
the Basin.
All that is required is a nice dry ground to play on.
The announcment has just been made at the ground, play is to
commence at 1530 local time.
There will be a three hour session of 45 overs.
The players have taken the field for their warm ups, much to the
appreciation of the crowd.
New Zealand have won the toss and elected to bowl on a very green
looking wicket.
The ground is now clear of all paraphanalia apart from a lone mower
on the outfield and a few sea gulls.
No doubt this patient crowd will show their delight when play gets
under way in about fifteen minutes or so.
A very decent crowd has made its way into the ground and it finally
looks as if they are going to get some action out in the middle
today.
There is a decent spread of humanity on the bank and a solid
looking crowd in the RA Vance stand, the Museum Stand and the
terraces.
The Basin scoreboard is also back to full functionality for the
second National Bank Test.
There is a big applause as the players finally emerge to the field.
Everything is set and the first ball is about to finally be bowled.

discussions aobut the light and lit looks like that might be it for
the day.
yes it isthe players are leaving the field, however the umpires
havn't yet drawn the stumps
the light is steadily failing adn the covers are comign out
no clouds about the sun has just gone down
The covers are now well and truly on adn it looks like stumps have
been drawn for the day.
In the end only 30 overs could be bowled due to the failing light
that doesn't tedn to hang around at this time of year much any
way.
The lack fo cloud cover this evening suggests that this could very
well be a best case scenario in terms of playable hours.
England have managed to build a reasonable start to the innings, in
the context of the series and the test.
If England can secure a draw here, then they are unable to lose the
series, so the pressure is on New Zeaalnd to force some kind of
result in their favour to take the series.

light reading being taken now
light offered to the batsman and they choose to take it
The covers are now coming out and it looks as if it is the end of
the days play.
If there is to be a result it will depend a lot on what happens
tomorow.
Match State: Stumps - Day 3
Stumps are now drawn here at the Basin Reserve and the match as the
shadows strech across the ground.
Neither side has yet taken this test by the scruff of the neck, and
unless New Zealand do then the series will be impossible for
England to loose.
That is it from the Basin, join us at 1000 local time tomorow for
the fourth day.
Welcome to the Basin Reserve for this the fourth scheduled day of
the second National Bank Series Test.
In terms of the weather, we have mainly blue skies, with some cloud
about, however local knowledge would indicate that these are not
threatening at all and if anything the weather should only get
better.
Play is scheduled to start in half an hour but not before a moments
silence is observed in tribute to Ben Hollioake.
All players and match officials line up to observe the moments
silence and the ground is silent, apart from the traffic outside.
Everything is now in ready for the first ball to be bowled.

it is very dark out there and the players are leaving the field,
the ground now fully enveloped in a shadow
It would have to be said that at the conclusioin of play, England
are in the box seat, although the likelyhood of a restult is
slowly slipping away, thanks mostly to the loss of play on the
first two days.
Match State: Stumps - Day 4
No doubt England will bat on tomorow morning to put the game out of
reach of New Zealand for sure, already going into tomorow with a
lead of 246.
For now it is farewell from the Basin Reserve and be sure to join
us tomorow at 1000 local time for the commencment of the fifth and
final day.
Welcome to the Basin Reserve for the fifth and final day of the
second National Bank Series test between the Clear Balck Caps and
England.
The weather has been on and off all morning and at the moment it is
quite over cast and gloomy, but both teams have been out on the
ground warming up.
It will be interesting to see what kind of strategy the English
decide to impliment today, whether they just play out the draw or
set New Zealand a target.
Either way Nassar Hussain it would have to be said is in the box
seat.
Five minutes before the scheduled start time and the light is not
looking brilliant and there is some rain on the horizon, it looks
however like the players will soon make their way out.
The umpires are now making there way out followed by the players,
it looks as if play will at least get a start this morning.

appear.

Match State: Stumps - Day 5
That concludes the second Bank of New Zealand Series test here at
the Basin Reserve.
New Zealand managing to play for an easy draw in the end, but were
probably out played by England slightly in the end.
The chances of getting a result from this match looked slim after
loosing all of the first day and most of the second.
England gave themselves a chance by setting New Zealand a pretty
big target on the final day, and gave themselves 88 overs to bowl
New Zealand out.
That concludes the First Class Season from the Basin Reserve for
this season as well as this test.
We now look forward to the third and final test at Eden Park in a
few days time.
