Indian Cricket Tour of NZ 2020

I sure hope we get the last guy out asap. The way this pitch is playing, I'm not overly confident about us getting the runs, even 150 or whatever. India bowled really well yesterday and will be pissy as hell.

[canefan]

Timmy has to make Bumrah defend his stumps. No deliveries on the stumps so far this over

[Donsteppa]

Not a good time for Jadeja to start jamming extra runs...

[Donsteppa]

Excellent, solved by a runout

[mariner4life]

i HATE these 130-odd 4th innings chases, they are so fucking nervy, and always seem to be harder than they should be.

[Virgil]

132..
Easy as it’s not like we are facing up to Waqar and Wasim

[canefan]

Right, 131 to win. Come on boys! We have to be positive, don't want to get picked off one by one by the pitch

[Chris B.]

@Donsteppa Phew - for a second I thought they'd missed yet another stone dead runout - but Kane picks up a good bounce and runs it in under the posts - so to speak!

[Gunner]

The guys on the radio were saying earlier that this pitch shouldn’t be as tough to score on as the scoreboard suggests.

One decent partnership is really all we need to ensure we get over the line here.

If we lose a few cheaply the total will feel like 331

[Hooroo]

Good grief! That was heart in mouth running

[Hooroo]

Love watching Latham bat. Doesn't pretend about anything and acknowledges great balls

@canefan Right now, first cab off the rank is Mitch Jr.

Will Young is back playing some cricket, but I haven't watched how he's going and, as above, Conway will be available soon.

But, on the other hand, Rossco is having his 36th birthday later this week, so I doubt we should be thinking about discarding the guy who's been substantially groomed to take over the number 4 spot. Plus - Henry made decent runs in the ODIs vs India, so he's hopefully been finding ways to get out rather than suddenly become useless.

Henry Cooper might be another in the mix, I see he’s just scored another 100 against Auckland.

Smithy is already talking up how we will have rolled India in 2 days across two tests.....

it's like you fuckers have only just jumped on the Black Cap bandwagon, and have no idea of history...

Absolutely. I'm a wreck of nerves watching this.

Even Latham's Cover Drive on the up had me wincing as I thought it was an edge at first.

[Gunner]

A very nervy 4 balls in a row for Latham...

Survived a probable inside edge to the keeper, then 3 LBW shouts...

The inside edge was Blundell, they ran through. Wasn't given as a Leg Bye

[canefan]

It's a miracle Bumrah didn't get a wicket
