Williamson said that New Zealand have left out Southee, Boult, Nicholls and McClenaghan !!
That's a massive call. I'll confirm that for you soon, but it looks like Williamson is going in with
three spinners - Nathan McCullum, Ish Sodhi and Mitchell Santner.
Adam Milne and Corey Anderson seem to be the only seam bowlers. .
There's a tribute to Martin Crowe playing on the big screen in Nagpur ahead of the start...
New Zealand are wearing black armbands in respect to their former captain...
