Melbourne, Dec 22: Tom Blundell is all set to open for New Zealand in the Boxing Day Test against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) after replacing Jeet Raval at the top of the Kiwi batting order.

The visitors tried out Blundell at the top in their practise game against Victoria XI ahead of the Test and the 29-year-old didn't disappoint as he slammed an unbeaten half-century.
