New Zealand scored 270 for 5 in the Seddon Park ODI, and Sehwag and Gambhir ransacked 201 runs off 23.3 overs before rain handed India victory by the D/L method. The Test-match pitch, according to Vettori, "will be pretty flat". "Maybe win the toss and bat first, but we just have to wait and see how it shapes up," he said. "There is a little bit of live grass on it but generally it is a pretty good deck here."

Dhoni felt that the conditions would help the seamers more than the pitch. "Looks like a good wicket, definitely there will be a bit of help for the seamers," he said "More than the wicket, the conditions will favour bowlers, the ball will move."

The weather in Hamilton on the two days leading up to the Test has been hot and clear. However, there are showers forecast for the second and third days of the match.

New Zealand have played 14 Tests in Hamilton of which they've won six, lost two and drawn six. Their win-loss ratio of 3.00 at Seddon Park is the best among all home venues. India have played three Tests here, losing one and drawing two.

Dravid has scored 341 runs at an average of 113.66 in two Tests in Hamilton. Ross Taylor averages 63 in his only Test at this venue while Vettori also averages a healthy 44.50 in eight Tests.

Vettori was successful in his first three Tests in Hamilton, taking 14 wickets at 21.71 apiece with a strike-rate of 53.00. However, his returns have been poor in his last five Tests here - 10 wickets at 50.00 each and a strike-rate of 122.

"You have got to take them on. The war of attrition probably won't work. I think we have got to be aggressive but in saying that, we have got to be disciplined. Those are the things we didn't quite get right in the one-day series. We didn't stick at our plans for long enough. In a Test match you just have to do that, otherwise a side like India will blow you off the park."
Vettori says his team will have to be disciplined yet aggressive in order to beat India.

"I am not bothered about whether we have won here or not. I am just bothered about the things we need to do over here as a team. We are not thinking about what happened in the past. I am not great when it comes to stats, so that really helps."
