Depleted New Zealand suffers as Henry sustains injury

New Zealand's bowler Matt Henry sustained an injury, a broken left thumb, during the tour of Australia on Saturday on the opening day of the third Test.

The right-arm seamer will continue to bowl in the Test, which the tourists must at least draw to avoid a 3-0 series whitewash, but whether he bats will depend on "match conditions", New Zealand Cricket said.

The Blacks Caps lost Lockie Ferguson to injury in the first Test and another pace bowler, Trent Boult, in the second, while Tim Southee was dropped for the third to make way for Henry.

Captain Kane Williamson, batsman Henry Nicholls and spinner Mitchell Santner were also ruled out of the third Test by a bout of flu.
