Bad weather in Manchester pushed the first semifinal of the World Cup between India and New Zealand at the Old Trafford to the reserve day on Tuesday with the Kiwi scoreboard reading 211/5 after 46.1 overs, when rain stopped play. New Zealand will resume their innings on Wednesday on the same score with 23 balls of their innings still remaining.
Ross Taylor was unbeaten on 67 off 85 balls when the umpires decided the players needed to head back to the pavilion. Despite half-centuries from Taylor and skipper Kane Williamson (67 off 95 balls), the Black Caps could not force the pace against tournament's best bowling attack. By the time when the covers were off at 10pm IST, the outfield had too much water and there was no way match could have started.
