New Zealand Cricket (NZC) tonight confirmed an interim total for its Tsunami Relief Fund of $959,543.

With a number of corporate sponsorships and commercial activities still to be finalised, NZC anticipates reaching the $1 million target.

Earlier estimates had indicated the Relief Fund had already exceeded the $1 million mark, but a recalculation of the significant government sponsorship of runs resulted in the revised figure.
