Wtf is going on. Last time I saw they were 3 down. Insane.

Seam and bounce... Bumrah will be looking forward to the new ball.

[Chris B.]

That was a great catch by Henry, as well.

Wrap these fuckers up - then, we're as good on seaming tracks as anyone.

Wish we had Little Kane, though!

Anybody else packing themselves we have to bat in these conditions?

Sounds like we have a better chance than on the usual spinning dust bowl. I'm too afraid to tune in now, don't want to jinx them

[Donsteppa]

O'Rourke seems determined for a leg side strangle.

[Donsteppa]

India all out for 46.

So we get to bat in ten minutes... can't find a hiding behind the couch emoji.

[No Quarter]

Absolutely incredible

[ARHS]

O'rourke looks like a real superstar already

bat twice

[bayimports]

Im not getting excited yet and @MN5 will ruin with his optimism, but that is a great bowling innings

[Chris]

We will be ok if we bat positive trying to survive will not work on this wkt.
If we are aggressive with out being reckless we can build a decent lead.
Play late.

I’m more cynical than anyone on here. It’s @Damo you have to worry about

[Chris B.]

India's previous worst effort at home is 75!

Windies seamers rolled them and went on to win. Surprisingly, not a vintage Windies attack.

Good Conway play nice and late.

[Bovidae]

Looking at the wicket highlights, there were some great catches.

I assume the local groundsman has already been fired.

suck a big fat bag of dicks, India.

Was going to say the same. Terrific catching

Looked like some smart captaincy too to bowl the guys with the hot hand and some good tactics.

O'Rourke really is a talent.

He is but by crikey how bout Matt Henrys relatively late career run of form ? What a great way to bring up your 100th wicket for NZ with a Michelle 15 !!!!!!!!!

Is this actually the same sport that Pakistan and England played just a few days ago though….wow.

Back to Henry…..

He had a pretty handy start at test level with 4/93 and 2/106……but then he really went through a poor period which screwed the figures somewhat. Then he slowly and surely came into the reckoning even if I thought it was madness to suggest he replace one of Boult/Southee/Wagner/Jameison……

26 test matches in total, he’s averaged 21.68 in his last 13. That is absolutely outstanding and yes it was nuts he didn’t get a run vs Sri Lanka.

[booboo]

Holy fuck.

Just saw the score.

[Chris]

Tactically we have been excellent today clear batting and bowling plans.
