Both James Franklin and Ross Taylor have trained with the Black Caps and are now rated 50-50 chances of playing in tomorrow's third one-dayer against Australia.

The pair were given little hope of playing yesterday due to hamstring injuries. A final decision on their fitness will be made just prior to the start of tomorrow's match.

A sellout is expected for the third Chappell-Hadlee match. Seddon Park venue manager Keith Parker says there are only around 900 of the possible 10,500 tickets still available.

Parker says extra security measures could be put in place, after they meet with the Australian security advisor tomorrow morning.
