Hamilton: New Zealand skipper Stephen Fleming elected to field first after winning the toss in the second and final cricket Test against India at the Westpac Park here on Friday.

Only 38 overs would be bowled on the second day after a delayed start due to damp outfield. The first day's play was abandoned without a ball being bowled. India made one change from the team that lost the opening Test of the two-match series by 10 wickets at Wellington last week as they included seamer Tinu Yohannan in place of all-rounder Ajit Agarkar. New Zealand retained their squad. New Zealand: Stephen Fleming (capt), Mark Richardson, Lou Vincent, Craig McMillan, Nathan Astle, Scott Styris, Jacob Oram, Robbie Hart, Daniel Vettori, Daryl Tuffey, Shane Bond. India: Sourav Ganguly (capt), Sanjay Bangar, Virender Sehwag, Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, Venkatsai Laxman, Parthiv Patel, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan, Ashish Nehra, Tinu Yohannan. Umpires: Asoka de Silva (SL) and Daryl Harper (Aus) TV umpire: Doug Cowie (NZ) Match-referee: Mike Procter (RSA)
