Star Sports subscribers in India can watch the New Zealand Test series live either via the Star Sports TV channels or by getting a Disney+ Hotstar streaming subscription. Play gets underway at 9.30am IST on each day of the series, starting Friday, December 3.

Star Sports 1/1 HD will have English commentary. You can also catch all the India vs New Zealand Test action on Star Sports 1 Hindi/1 Hindi HD, Star Sports Kannada, Star Sports Tamil, and Star Sports Telugu.  

The Disney Plus Hotstar prices changed recently. The Disney Plus Hotstar new plans start at Rs 499 instead of Rs 399 (VIP) though the all-access content plan remains the same at Rs 1,499.

Those of you wanting to live stream India vs New Zealand on the move will need to use the Hotstar app, which is available via the web, Android, iOS, and Apple TV.

Jio and Airtel offer special data plans that offer a Hotstar subscription to watch the cricket live.

New Zealanders can tune into the India vs Black Caps Test on Sky Sport, which is available as part of a range of pay TV packages. 

Play gets underway at 5pm NZDT across all five days of the series.

Sky Sport subscribers can also live stream the action via the Sky Go service, while cord-cutters and anyone else can try the Sky Sport Now streaming-only platform - where a weekly pass costs just $19.99.

You can watch India vs New Zealand via Sky Sports and its dedicated Sky Sports Cricket channel, but prepare to lose a fair bit of sleep, with play set to begin at 4am GMT on each day of the series. 

Subscribers also get to watch on the move using the Sky Go app, which is available on nearly all modern phones, tablets, laptops, PCs and consoles.

For those without Sky, a better option may be to pick up a Now TV Sky Sports Monthly Pass, which includes all 11 channels.

To access your usual streaming service from outside the UK, you'll need to download a good VPN, as detailed above. 

Cricket fans Down Under can watch India vs New Zealand on Fox Sports and via Foxtel. 

If you don't have Fox as part of a pay TV package, your best option is to sign up for the excellent Kayo Sports streaming service. 

It features no lock-in contracts and gives you access to over 50 other sports including the NRL, soccer, F1, NFL... the list goes on! Handy if you don't want to go all-out on Fox.

Better still, Kayo offers a FREE two-week trial!

After that, the Basic Package costs $25 per month and allows users to stream across two devices simultaneously. The service also offers a Premium Package, which provides three concurrent streams for $35 per month.

Play starts at 3pm AEDT on each day of the Test series.

Don't forget, you can take your cricket coverage abroad with you as well. For those wanting to watch home coverage of sports from overseas, a good VPN is the solution.

For a nation that traditionally isn't interested in cricket, cricket fans in the US have several options to live stream India vs New Zealand Test action.

It's being shown by dedicated live cricket channel Willow TV (also available in Canada) that's available from a number of cable providers including Dish, Spectrum, Xfinity, Verizon Fios and more. 

Not got cable? No worries, as Willow TV is also accessible via the ever-reliable Sling TV across a range of devices. On top of a Sling subscription, you can get Willow TV as an add on and try it for a whole month for just $5 - after which it goes up to $10 per month. Or pay $60 for a whole year.

New to the cricket scene is ESPN Plus, which is also live streaming India vs New Zealand. The ESPN Plus cost is very tempting too, with monthly plans at a rate of $6.99 a month, while an annual subscription costs $69.99 a year. 

But for the ultimate value, grab a combined ESPN+, Hulu and Disney Plus Bundle for just $13.99 a month, which also gets you loads of great entertainment and family-friendly content.

Be warned though, the action starts at 11pm ET / 8pm PT each night and continues through the very unsociable hours of the morning.
