We need Tim to have an on day today. Quick fire 20
If ever there was a pitch and situation tailor made for someone who bats with total disregard for the team's situation this is it. Go Timbo.

Yup. Green light

Attacking from the other end (even if costing two wickets) does seem to have opened things up for Kane a wee bit - slightly more defensive fields, less discipline with their lines.

Not sure if the sun has helped a bit too. Definitely feels a little easier right now. Just a wee bit

Even if we are bowled out soon, India will have to set a target if they plan to try to bowl us out for the win. Draw still most likely. And I don't see our two opening bowlers doing that poorly again
@canefan With the sun out, it's looking easier to bat.
The Indian seamers have carried a workload and won't get much of a rest if Kohli would set a target - and what's he going to set?
I can't see him declaring just 200 ahead and anything more is going to take more than two sessions.

I agree. I done see him setting an easily gettable target. He won't want to lose by setting a low target. And they still have to face our attack on this pitch to get those runs. And fast

Could it be the ball also? The easiest batting has seemingly been with the new ball in both innings.

I actually wonder if it's worth opening with Kyle and saving one of Southee or Boult for 10 overs in when it starts to swing a bit more. Though Kyle gets a lot of swing as well, but would be harder to face with his extra bounce.

Worth a crack. Kyle has been our best. Tim riding his luck. Big leading edge there evading all the fielders
