Afghanistan-NZ Test faces complete washout after third day lost

Afghanistan's adopted home ground outside India's capital at Greater Noida has been beset by problems, with rain falling since Tuesday night on an already waterlogged outfield that caused the first two days to be lost. The venue, which is hosting its first Test, has come under scrutiny for lacking world-class facilities and basic drainage. Electric fans have been used in desperate attempts to make sodden patches playable at the ground, which saw dry weather and sunshine on the previous two days.
