In what will be their first Test against each other at a neutral venue, India and New Zealand are all set to play the final match of the inaugural ICC World Test Championship in Southampton from tomorrow.

Been grinding for the last two years for a spot in the finals, both India and New Zealand have been top-notch Test teams in the given period primarily on the back of their respective bench strengths.

However, given all that India have done in this format in the last six months or so, the Black Caps would never want to take them for granted.
