Cricket 2021: NZ in England and WTC Final

Watching this - I'm pretty happy India doesn't have a 4th seamer!
Tough times - but, it always gets easier if you can hang in there.

The pitch still looks like it requires disciplined bowling to get a good reward. It may just be a case of hanging in there until there until they lose their length a little bit. CdG went to the cleaners the one poor over he served up.
Steady as she goes until the second new ball IMO - then maybe look at starting to push things a bit more with the harder ball and two hopefully set batsmen.

Batting looks ridiculously difficult out there. As does keeping!
yeah, it speaks to the quality of both sides bowling attacks and also their batters skills that the top guys have faced a lot of deliveries with a low strike rate and yet have still had very few off track deliveries
Further to this, I'm confident that the next two teams on the rung might have a fair bit of trouble in these conditions - the Aussies because they like to get bat on ball and keep a reasonable run rate and England, well they are not a top 5 Batting line up - their bowling attack is what keeps them in the results

Bryan Waddle (Newstalk ZB) giving the Indians heaps for their terrible over rate. Described 13 overs for 16 runs in 65 minutes as "abysmal", can't say I disagree.

Didn’t we have an over rate at one stage during this very test of just over 11 per hour?

Gave his wicket away after fighting hard to get set. Annoying.

but unsurprising…
A decent catch

Taylor now gone.
Anyone still fantasising about scoring four runs an over and setting aggressive declarations for the final day...

The way the pitch is playing our best bet for quick runs is almost Southee or Boult farting out a quick 25 in edges and agricultural swings.

Pant is not a great keeper.

Commentators think he is great?

Four byes helps.
Did you see what that ball did to get past Pant. That was some movement.

He’s an improving keeper in my view. Nothing he could do about that last 4 byes.

I didn't really register it due to the relief of seeing the scoreboard move in a jump!
