World Test Championship Final: Kyle Jamieson Plays Table Tennis As Wet Weather Delays Start On Day Four

The start of play on Day Four of the ongoing World Test Championship (WTC) final between India and New Zealand has been delayed due to rain here at the Ageas Bowl. New Zealand are at 101/2 with skipper Kane Williamson and senior batsman Ross Taylor on the crease. India got bowled out for 217 runs after the heroics of pacer Kyle Jamieson. To kill time, Kyle Jamieson was seen playing table tennis. "Wet weather has returned to the Hampshire Bowl so it's table tennis for now," tweeted BlackCaps.
