Yet another Black Caps test has been delayed due to adverse weather conditions.

The team's opening test against India in Bengaluru was set to start at 5pm (NZT) - but the match has been temporarily paused because of rain.

Former Black Cap Peter McGlashan says this delay could buy New Zealand more time to turn their match strategy around.

"No-one will have necessarily finalised who's going to be in and who's going to be out - and I guess we all wait with bated breath to see one of the old, experienced players like Tim Southee get another crack or whether or not they go with some young bowlers like Will O’Rourke."
