New Zealand are 0-1 down in the series and their coach Andy Moles hoped the Napier pitch would nip around for a couple of days so that it would bring their seamers into the game. However the groundsman at McLean Park, Phil Stoyanoff, has promised a typical Napier pitch, one on which lots of runs are scored.

There were also reports of a fungal infection on the pitch, which had forced the curators to move two to three feet sideways, so that the new track included half the original pitch and half of the adjacent one, a mix of the pitches used for the Test against West Indies in December and the recent ODI against India. Stoyanoff, however, denied the reports.

New Zealand are likely to play two spinners in the second Test, which starts on Thursday, as they did against West Indies. But they would have wanted a different kind of pitch. “I think we know what to expect when we come to Napier,” Vettori said. “We have probably got to move away from what we want, and actually just perform on whatever we get. We know we can perform a little better on a wicket that has got a little bit in it, but we have got to make sure we do well on this particular wicket.”
