Cricket 2021: NZ in England and WTC Final

[MajorRage]

13 overs so far for 15 runs.

Extremely slow going, must be extremely difficult alright. Perhaps India are in the box seat with runs on the board.

If somebody gets out, its only going to get worse as well.

[Chris B.]

@rotated 13 overs from the seamers so far.

A spinner can't be far away, because Kohli can't risk bowling his seamers into the ground early.

[Godder]

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?

[Chris B.]

Shit!!!

That wasn't a good shot Ross.

[No Quarter]

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

[Donsteppa]

Taylor now gone.

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

[rotated]

Conway, Pant and Taylor all getting done by the pace of the pitch.

[KiwiMurph]

That was a very good ball. Terrific length.

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.

[Chris B.]

Four byes helps.

[No Quarter]

Pant is not a great keeper.

Commentators think he is great?

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!

[Donsteppa]

Keep those hands low, Henry...

Guess I'm just comparing him to Watling who was getting to those every time. Pant is still young though and no doubt picked for his batting primarily.

@donsteppa Slap that fecker to the boundary, Henry!
