Kiwi paceman Trent Boult on track to play pink ball Test against Australia

Johannesburg: New Zealand fast bowler Trent Boult, who suffered a stress- injury, is on track to play the first historic day and night Test match with the pink ball against Australia in Adelaide.

Confirming the news, bowling coach Dimitri Mascarenhas said they would assess Boult for the next couple of days, revealing that he is on track to be fit for the final Test.

Earlier, Boult failed to bowl in this weekend's day-night tour match against a Western Australia XI in Perth.

New Zealand are currently trailing 1-0 in the series and they have to win the third Test of the three-match series in Adelaide, starting from November 27 in order to level the series.
