    The Black Caps' decision makers have an early New Year's choice to make this morning

    The Black Caps' decision makers have an early New Year's choice to make this morning


    They're still tossing up between all-rounders Daryl Mitchell or Rachin Ravindra for the vacant middle-order spot for the first test in Mount Maunganui.

    Captain Tom Latham wants a look at the deck before before they make the call on Mitchell's pace or Ravindra's spin...



    Bangladesh coach Russell Domingo says they're looking to go for a balance in their eleven...



    The toss is at 10.30 ... and first ball at 11.

    A high of 30 degrees is expected in Mount Maunganui for day one.
