Cricket: Three key Black Caps in doubt

New Zealand could be without three key players for today's one-day cricket international against Sri Lanka in Napier.

Captain Stephen Fleming is suffering a groin strain, fast bowler Shane Bond has an upper thigh strain and all-rounder Scott Styris has pain in his left knee after Friday's win in Wellington.

A decision on whether all three will play in the final match of series will be made later this morning.

Batsman Nathan Astle has been called in as cover.

The Black Caps lead the series 4-0, with today's match starting at 12pm at McLean Park.
