    We need to get these two out. Especially Dhoni. He could easily take it away from us. 6.5 an over is easy.

    Who do we bowl now. Keep strangling? Try for wicket #6?

    strangle. Hitting on this pitch looks impossible - just keep them from scoring quickly and cross fingers

    10 runs from the last 6 overs. Great stuff.

    Yeah - see whether Dhoni is happy to nudge it around and dig their hole deeper, whilst trying to get through Neesham and Satnav.

    They can't even get ones and twos. Unbelievable

    We have to find 5 more overs from Williamson/Neesham/CDG. I think each of them should get an over at least.

    I am worried about Henry's last 3 as well. Get those in asap.

    They just need to avoid death by singles and twos with Dhoni pushing the gaps. That's the only way I can see them doing it (which might be a good argument for Kane to bowl a couple here)

    No way scoring 6.5 an over the traditional way expecting a boundary every 6-8 balls is going to be possible on this deck. Everyone who has tried to push the pace has looked average.

    @rotated Yep. that's the thing. At this stage they don't need to smash it. Few singles, few twos, and they are on the pace.

    You didn't watch Dhoni against England - it's all about NRR here.

    Meh. Santner concedes two runs and his economy rate leaps up to 1.03.

    Dhoni's tactics later in his career has been to take it deep and then try and hit them home at 10s and 12s to finish. He's too old to push ones and twos like he used to.

    I think India's plan is to get to 40 overs needing 8-9 an over and back set batsmen to make the push. Good plan actually. RR is fine as long as they don't lose more wickets for the next 12 overs.

    RRR up to 7.3 now. Bit surprised India aren't a little more urgent.

    ent.

    This is eerily similar to the way the NZ innings slowed down/failed to accelerate in the middle stages.
