Published March 21, 2008

NAPIER (New Zealand), March 20: New Zealand suffered a crippling blow on Thursday when pace bowler Kyle Mills was ruled out of Saturday’s third Test against England after breaking down during training.

Mills had a scan on a niggling injury behind his left knee on Monday and declared himself fit before practice on Thursday but he broke down after bowling about two overs in the nets.

Mills said he had sustained the injury during the first Twenty20 International against England in February.—Agencies
