We'd have to lose 6 for 30 to be under real threat I reckon.

Someone had to say it didn't they?

Better than 9 for 40..

And even if we do now I reckon we're safe.

Currently 199 to win at 2.2 rpo.

Get Hank to his ton, add a few more and we'll be looing at defending 240-250 at 3s.

It all depends on how willing they are to risk losing to win. In these days of T20, if Pakistan retain wickets then they can just unleash with 15 overs to go and it could be tough to stop them making a hundred runs in that period.

If we're playing to win, I reckon bat for an hour tomorrow - the second half in T20 mode - if we can (Get the pads on Colin!).

That should get us close to 270 and leave five hours to have a crack at bowling them out.

Yeah that's fair

Easily my favourite Cricket analogy for the year

55 runs off 6 overs. We're going just fine this morning.

reverse jinx AND ABOUT TO GET OUT

edit: partnership 55 off 35. Good work

[Bovidae]

Southee should have come in before Watling for quick runs. That's not BJ's natural game.

it sure has hell is Southee's! BIg 6 just hit. This is the time for him to play his natural game

[No Quarter]

Amazing that we got ourselves into a position to declare and go for the win. Awesome effort.

fixed that for ya

[Bovidae]

I'm still surprised they declared so early. 280 in 79 overs is gettable but you do want to give Pakistan the carrot.

Bloody Little Kane - pulls out before Henry goes past him!

This morning worked out pretty well - apart from for BJ. I was really hoping they'd send Timmy and then Trent in instead of BJ - not much for him to gain just a drop in his average.

Perfect declaration IMO. Very stiff but not quite impossible for Pakistan. Enough time for us if we bowl well.

[No Quarter]

Kane puts one down! Daaaammmnn

[Chris B.]

@no-quarter Not a great morning for Kane, but now Timmy redeems him.

One down,... nine to go!

[Gunner]

Got eeeeem, nice Timmy.
1 down, 9 to go.

Edit: snap @Chris-B

[Paekakboyz]

First one down! Really hoping we can snare 2-3 early and give them the heebie jeebies asap

[ACT Crusader]

Nice to see CdG and Southee do what we know they can do with the bat in that situation.

Iman a danger man IMO. As a young player he won’t die wondering.

[Virgil]

CDG!!

[Gunner]

Yes boy, 2 down.
Azhar Ali gooone.

[Chris B.]

Somerville - gets one to grip and turn and Haris Sohail is on his way!

Three down - seven to go!

[Damo]

Man that one turned a long way. Great stuff.

[Damo]

Wow another I think.

You beauty!

[Chris B.]

...and next ball he's gloved Shafiq and it's four down and six to go!!!
