Black Caps tour of India

@Chris If you're right - he simply shouldn't be there.

It's almost equivalent to saying that the new ball suits Willie Watson, so we'll start with Willie and use Sir Paddles as first change.

That is why I have said for over a year he should not be selected it limits your attack massively.

Watson couldn’t swing a barn door another up and down bowling machine.

Don’t review that young that’s out

[Chris]

Nope good review Young inside edge

[No Quarter]

I do wonder in cricket, with the aid of AI etc to really speed it up, if they will just use the technology for every appeal in the end and the umpires job will just be general game management.

Another Indian review. If they are unsuccessful, surely that's their allowance for the innings?

Edit: one more review

[Chris]

Gough is such a good umpire he is excellent.

[No Quarter]

Looked like it was going down leg, a hopeful review

[No Quarter]

That was catchable, he didn't react in time

They've spent two - can only go for howlers now!

Conway completely miss read that and threw his wkt away .

[KiwiMurph]

Nice innings Conway - confidence building.

Not a big fan of him taking an age to leave the field - you are out - get off the field.

[sparky]

46! Sweet!

Even by Bazball standards that would be up there...

It's a pretty long tail with Henry at 8 - here's hoping we don't fold in the first session tomorrow.

@MN5 We want to bat once. India won't capitulate a second time.

Yup. Don't want to be left chasing a big total on the final day only to fold like a cheap deck chair

[Chris B.]

Nice to see Conway looking good!

One more run and he'd have been able to say he scored twice as much as India. Not many who'd be able to say that!

Next session is crucial (as usual). I'm right with @dogmeat - we only want to bat once or have a trivial amount to make in the second innings andit will never be easier to score runs in this game.

[No Quarter]

I am loving all the salty tears from Indian commentators going on about how unplayable the pitch was for India, and how easy it was for our batsmen. For sure the conditions improved, but given their innings lasted just 30 overs Latham and Conway had to survive in very similar conditions as their openers. Rolling them for 46 in front of their home fans is one of the more enjoyable things I've ever watched.
