SOUTHAMPTON: New Zealand captain
Kane Williamson won the toss and elected to bat against India under overcast conditions in the World Test Championship final here on Saturday.
The day one of the title clash on Friday was washed out.
India didn't change their playing XI announced two days back with both specialist spin bowling all-rounders
Ravindra Jadeja and
Ravichandran Ashwin adding to their batting depth.
New Zealand are going with an all seam attack with medium pacer Colin de Grandhomme,
Trent Boult,
Tim Southee, Neil Wagner and Kyle Jamieson.
Indian players wore black armbands to pay tribute to legendary athlete Milkha Singh, who passed away on Friday due to Covid-19.
