    @canefan do Black Cap supporters ever learn? It'll be 2-1 India at the end of this series. It's the Black Caps...

    That's enough for me, early start tomorrow so taking @Siam's advice and looking forward to reading about a famous victory in the morning.

    168/6 with 10 overs remaining. Time to put the foot down if we are going to post something to bowl at rather than hope our bowlers are blindingly good or India self destruct.

    Santner finally has his eye in and is having a go. A 4 and 6 this over 188/6 after 43

    Hopefully Milne will bowl better than he bats. A golden duck for him.
    Santner has had to cut out the risk taking shots now. I'm guessing they will prod out 2 of the remaining four overs and attack the last two hoping to get a couple of balls over the fence and 220

    @crucial You think they've got a plan?
    If I could be arsed, I'd create one of those memes the kids love so much, a picture of a false dawn labelled "OPTIMISM: Black Caps Supporters"
    I think the plan currently consists of "hope that every article about this match mentions the groundskeeper controversy"

    230 looks about the max from here. Neither batsmen striking well but picking up the odd streaky boundary

    As I typed that Southee connects with a 6

    At least Southee managed to get the strike for the last over

    230 won’t be enough if Boult keeps bowling like this. He’s all over the show.

    Wasn't enough either. No famous victory to wake to.

    India got there with a handful of wickets and overs to spare.

    No repeat performance from boult this time

    Par for the course with the Black Caps I guess. We've got a handful of world class players backed up by people that are not quite at the level needed for international cricket. Munro basically missed a straight one with non-existent defense, it's just a real bonus when guys like him come off.

    Bit disappointing to hear Boult wasn't at his best, but I guess when you're defending such a small target it's easy to try too hard to take wickets instead of settling into a rhythm like he did in the first ODI.

    Not a complete disaster, a bunch of players got starts and didn't kick on. Kane must be due a big score in the 3rd ODI so that should put us in a commanding position...

    Did India win the toss and put us in? If given the choice we are better bowling first. You can recover if you have a poor first 5 years
