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

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.

Holy fuck.

Just saw the score.

[Chris]

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

India all out for 46.

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

Surely that must be a record

I hope this is Conway getting back into form. He’s played some fine shots so far,

[MN5]

First innings lead, 10 wickets in hand.

I haven’t had a drink all day but we’re SURE it’s New Zealand batting at the moment and not India right ?

[Bovidae]

A comical miss from Rahul in the slips. Well left.

[canefan]

I switch the cricket on and Latham looks to survive a review. Sketchy. Didn't the ball hit Latham on the arm? He was a long way forward. Crazy review

[canefan]

Conway looks a different player right now. Like the old DC

[MN5]

50 for Conway.

As if this match isn’t crazy enough already Latham is just 15 after being the quicker scorer of the two for so long now.

Well played Conway, awesome seeing him back in form

[canefan]

Oh dear. Stone dead plumb

[KiwiMurph]

Awful decision from Reifel. Unusual from him

[MN5]

Young needs to prove he can contribute at this level more consistently than he has in the past

[Donsteppa]

All I can think of there is that Reifel thought bat on foot was an inside edge.

Huge opportunity for him. Looking smooth at the moment, but it will count for nothing if he can't stay in and get a score

[Donsteppa]

What a day. I didn't think we'd have a first innings lead all series, let alone on the very first day of play...

Thats what Doull suggested
