The play has finally resumed after a day of washout on Monday. Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor has taken the field for New Zealand at 101/2. 

The play on Day 5 will start at 11:30 am local time. Seven overs have been reduced from the initial 98 overs planned for Day 5 of the World Test Championship final. Due to the delayed start, only 91 overs will come into play on Day 5.  

Umpires have come out to assess the field after a short delay in the start of play on Day 5 of the World Test Championship final. 

The start of play on Day 5 of the World Test Championship final is expected to begin soon as news from the ground is that the rain has gone away and the covers are off. The start of play was delayed earlier due to bad weather. 

The weather in Southampton is looking a bit unfavourable as covers have been brought up again to protect the pitch from the rain. The start of the play on Day 5 has been delayed. 

Former Kiwi player and ex-Team India coach John Wright has urged the International Cricket Council (ICC) to better plan and organise the World Test Championship next time so that a result could be possible after play of five days. 

Former India cricketer Dinesh Karthik, who is part of the ICC commentary panel for the World Test Championship final, has provided the latest weather update from the Ageas Bowl. The good news is that it hasn't rained all day in Southampton.   

“It seems that the World Test Championship Final will end up as a draw and the trophy will be shared," Sunil Gavaskar said while presenting on Star Sports. 

Both India and New Zealand have 196 overs combined to bowl in the remaining two days. A result at the end of the match is highly unlikely given that only two days are left with two and a half innings still remaining to be played. The match is expected to end in a draw with both teams sharing the first-ever World Test Championship trophy.
