So, decision time is coming. Do we take the new ball immediately? The old one seems to be singing

That's a damn good catch

Our catching is just incredible. We're the best in the world at the moment, which just shows how professional the team is right now.

Jamieson showing the more experienced bowlers how it's done...

@booboo I really hate the Indian commentators blowing smoke up all their asses

It's not just that Indians. Doull and Macca have been sucked in too.

You guys are just too sensitive. They are loving Kylo and have been complimentary about us. I prefer to look at the scoreboard

[Damo]

Even Pant's boundary was a big inside edge.

We are right on top now.

Indians paying the price for scoring so slowly. They should be 50-60 runs more, which might not be such a bad position in these conditions.

10/2 this morning - and two major dangermen.

Exactly what I ordered - I should be a doctor!!!

They couldn't handle his height when they toured in NZ either

[Gunner]

Re the commentary, they clearly know who’s paying their wages this week.

Michael Holding, in the last 12 months, has made me realise these commentators really want to keep their cushy jobs, and they know their paymasters are always listening

Should we take the new ball, when 80 overs roll round?

[canefan]

With those foot marks, I kind of wish we'd picked Ajaz. Colin hasn't offered much so far

A quickfire 50 is what Colin owes us.

[Gunner]

Anyone see the win predictor?

Bit of a joke in test match cricket, but anyway it had India at 20% and us at 29%.

[mikey07]

@gunner last time I saw it, was India 29% us 19

[MN5]

Holy shit, to quote Bill Lawry I want to boof Kyle Jamieson !

That's about right. Draw clear favourite.

Wags leaking runs all of a sudden

I’m thinking we will, no sign of Southee yet, and Boult only had a couple.

Keeping them fresh, and hopefully they can be a bit more accurate with it this time round.

They are starting to score all of a sudden. Hit them with the new ball

[sparky]

168-5. New Ball coming. If they can do damage with that it will be advantage New Zealand.
