Both sides are struck by injuries going into the third and final Test. New Zealand are all set to move ahead with an unchanged side with no Ross Taylor for the third Test as well. Meanwhile, they received a second jolt as Tim Southee has also been ruled out from the final clash. Trent Boult also joins the list. On the other hand, Quinton de Kock, who was also under the cloud after injuring his finger, will be available for the final Test. Initial x-rays ruled out a fracture but continued discomfort has revealed ligament damage which could require several weeks rest. This, however, has lead to de Kock’s absence from IPL 2017.
