Play on the first day of the second Test between New Zealand and India was abandoned without a ball being bowled on Thursday.
Heavy rain in the days leading up to the game meant the ground was saturated, and the mopping-up operation was scuppered when light drizzle fell at 1445 local time (New Zealand).
There was no toss and no team announcements were made.
New Zealand won the first Test in Wellington by 10 wickets.
