<p>India will have hopes in the heart but fate won't be in their hands on Sunday (Oct 20) as they look to save the Bengaluru Test against New Zealand. With New Zealand needing only 107 runs to win and having the entire Day 5 in hands, much will depend on what role rain will play with heavy showers and bad light wrapping proceedings on Saturday. So what is the weather forecast for Sunday and will New Zealand be able to win the Bengaluru Test?&nbsp;Here are all the details.</p>

<h2><strong>What is the Bengaluru weather forecast for Sunday?</strong></h2>

<p>Practically, India still have an opportunity to win the match in case they manage to bowl out New Zealand and win the match. However, with 109 runs needed from a minimum of 90 overs and 10 wickets in hand, the result favours New Zealand's win. While India’s chances of a win remain slim, a draw will be the best possible outcome for India for which weather will have to play a big role.</p>

<p>According to AccuWeather, it will be mostly cloudy on Day 5 which will encourage India’s chances of a draw. Three hours of heavy rain is also predicted on the day while overnight conditions will also play a huge role. With 81 per cent cloud cover, India will look to also take advantage of the situation if presented.</p>

<p>With New Zealand needing 107 runs to win after bowling out the hosts for 462 in the second innings, India will retain remote chances of a win. Overcast conditions and early wickets could help Rohit Sharma and Co win the match.</p>

<p>Interestingly, India have defended the same total to win a Test match on home soil when they got the better of a mighty Australian team consisting of Ricky Ponting, Justin Langer, Matthew Hayden and Adam Gilchrist in 2004. Defending 107, India bowled out Australia on 93 to win the Mumbai Test match by 13 runs in November 2004.</p>

IND vs NZ, Weather Report: India at rain god's mercy in Bengaluru as visitors look to draw first blood

<p>India are left at the mercy of the rain gods after Day 4 of the Bengaluru Test ended with New Zealand sitting in pole position to win the Bengaluru Test match. After bowling India out for 462 runs in the second innings, the visitors now need 107 runs to win the match. The Kiwis did come out to bat for four balls on Day 4 before Stumps were called due to bad light and rain storming down heavily in the South Indian city.</p>

<h2><strong>India left at rain god’s mercy</strong></h2>

<p>India will need a washout on Day 5 of the Bengaluru Test as New Zealand stand within winning distance of the match. While bowlers will look to give their best, 107 should not trouble New Zealand batters from winning the Test match in Bengaluru. As things stand, New Zealand will look to get the better of India and dent their chances of a place in the final of the World Test Championship (WTC) in June 2025.</p>

<h2><strong>Manchester United’s poor form</strong></h2>

<p>Manchester United have made the worst start to a league season for 35 years, with just eight points from a possible 21. They lost heavily to Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur on home turf while also being on the losing side in the away game against Brighton.

Pressure is slowly mounting on the Dutch manager Erik ten Hag, who insists he has still got the backing of club management.</p>

Premier League: Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag slams media amid sack rumours

<p>The Indian team was left in sixes and sevens at the end of Day 3 of the ongoing Bengaluru Test against New Zealand after they lost Virat Kohli on the final ball of the day. Having laid the foundation of a good partnership and a revival for team India with a handsome score of 231/2, it was the dismissal of Kohli that made the headlines. The wicket left many raising question marks on the former Indian skipper’s concentration, but it was Rohit Sharma’s reaction in the stands that went viral.</p>

<h2><strong>Rohit’s reaction goes viral</strong></h2>

<p>Having been 95/2 and still trailing by 261 runs, the partnership of Virat and Sarfaraz Khan ripped rewards for India as they helped Rohit’s men to narrow down the lead. However, the untimely dismissal led the entire dressing room in sixes and sevens with India closing the day at 231/3. However, Rohit, who himself was unlucky with his dismissal was animated in the pavilion. He was frustrated and looked to hide his face as India now face a race against time to save the Test match.</p>

<p>The hosts still trail by 125 runs in the first innings and will need a real effort to avoid humiliation and defeat in the Bengaluru Test.</p>

IND vs NZ, 1st Test: New Zealand in pole position in Bengaluru despite Kohli-Sarfaraz fightback

<p>England captain Ben Stokes has issued an apology to his side after they were beaten by 152 runs in the second Test match against Pakistan on Friday (Oct 18). Playing at the Multan Cricket Stadium the&nbsp;defeat comes as a huge disappointment for the visitors while they dismantled Pakistan at the same venue last week in the first Test match. After the match, Stokes confessed to the same with the series now moving to the decider.</p>

<h2><strong>Stokes issues apology</strong></h2>

<p>"I actually apologised to the group up there last night," Stokes said afterwards. "It's the first time in my captaincy that I've let my emotions show in my body language, with how I was feeling as the game was unfolding. I owned up to that, and I'm very annoyed at myself for letting that out.”</p>

<p>England had enjoyed a great run heading into the second Test as they won by an innings and 47 runs. They were hot favourites to win the second Test and pocket the series, however, a rejuvenated Pakistan won the match after some smart decision-making. Having been restricted to 291 runs in the first innings, Stokes and Co were bowled out for 144 on Day 4 of the Test match, in the process losing the Test match.</p>
