    @Chris Ye of little faith! Pressure is a funny thing and after the first test all of the pressure is on India. You would expect them to score 400, but you also would expect them to score more than 46 in the first test 🙂

    We will see my money is on a big Indian score
    With Gill and Washington they are a much stronger batting line up.
    They also scored 462 in the 2nd innings this is a typical Indian pitch they will go well on it.

    Yup. I see them getting a big score and beating us having to only bat once

    Yep exactly what is going to happen after throwing away the bat first advantage.

    Santner as our third highest scorer is slightly sobering.

    He’s an occasionally effective specialist low order batsman nowadays

    In India more so a batsman than a bowler, either way right now I will take any runs we can get

    They've really done a number on this pitch. It has little cut marks on it, almost like the machine they use on golf greens. I'm sure they've done it to slow the pitch down, to create variable bounce and to encourage it to break up faster

    Can't blame a number 10 for that, but looks to me like a pitch you have to force yourself to play forward on regardless of instincts, unless it's dropped really short.

    About 150 runs short, but maybe we'll be lucky.

    My question who is going to bowl India out cheaply
    ORourke will be a danger maybe Patel our attack is weak.
    Henry being out hurts us.

    Those two only. Southee won't do much.

    Yep you are spot on there that is exactly what you have to do to survive.

    Philips will have to redeem himself with a decent wicket haul. And it Mitch and Ravindra can get it to move, who knows? But I see us well on the back foot now. We may have just surrendered the test

    Hopefully O’Rourke can get a couple before the end of play.
    Disappointing we lost 6 wkts for 62 runs..

    Not quite as bad as 10 for 46, but still bad...

    Totally agree. What a wasted opportunity

    259 simply isn't enough, even with the benefit of not having to bat last.

    Latham, Young, Ravindra and Santner looked decent.

    Most of the other guys were flailing around - even though Devon got runs.

    Our spinners are unlikely to be good enough to run through the Indians like Sundar did to us, so unless something odd happens, I think we're likely already cooked.

    Ajaz will need a 10-for again for very few runs...

    Though - Southee takes his traditional early wicket.
