Australia vs New Zealand 2015, Live Cricket Score: 3rd Test at Adelaide, Day 1

Catch the live cricket score of Australia vs New Zealand 2015, 3rd Test at Adelaide, Day 1.

Australia and New Zealand will face off in the historic first-ever day-night Test when they meet for the third and final time at Adelaide. As reported by AFP, ICC chief executive David Richardson said “The fact that the ICC Intercontinental Cup, the first-class tournament for the leading Associate and Affiliate teams, now offers a pathway to Test cricket for the winning side of the latest edition has the potential to add further to the story of Test cricket. Bear in mind that the success of the Adelaide Test will not mean that suddenly everyone will be expected or able to stage day-night Tests as it is not a scenario that will suit every situation. But day-night Test cricket has the potential to be one way of ensuring that cricket’s traditional format remains relevant in the modern age and continues to thrive in the coming years.LIVE CRICKET SCORECARD: Australia vs New Zealand, 3rd Test at Adelaide

“The game is about the public, the people who turn up to watch matches at the venues or who follow the matches on television, radio or online. Strong attendances inspire the players to produce their best, exciting the fans and creating value for the broadcasters and sponsors. I think day/night Test will assist with this process…I must compliment Cricket Australia and New Zealand Cricket and their teams for having the vision to engage in this historic milestone for world cricket. I am confident that, as players have adjusted to a myriad of changes within the international game over more than 100 years, they will adjust in this instance too, and, in doing so, play an important role in taking Test cricket to a new level. I wish them the best of luck.” LIVE CRICKET UPDATES: Australia vs New Zealand 2015, 3rd Test at Adelaide, Day 1
