Wet weather returned to haunt the ICC World Cup on Tuesday when persistent rains forced the organisers to take the first semi-final featuring India and New Zealand into the reserve day.
After opting to bat first, the Black Caps were struggling to put up a challenging total despite fifties from their seasoned duo of Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor here at Old Trafford.
When the players were forced off the field at around 2.00 pm local time because of rain, New Zealand were batting on 211-5 from 46.1 overs. Taylor was unbeaten on a 85-ball 67 while Tom Latham was on the crease at 3.
