Good little win for Wagner to get a maiden.

Boult not showing his usual control

This test has put to rest the pervasive myth that he is a bounce only bowler. He's always had the ability to bowl length and swing, his role and many of the pitches he's played on haven't required him to do so.

The myth is useful though. Rahane got out in part due to Wags' reputation

damn this test has been riveting...bringing out the figurative couch when/if NZ start to bat

I'm glued to every ball

It's. 100% a draw, so I'm just going to wake up to that

[No Quarter]

Tinny bastard lol

[SynicBast]

Does Wags have a gear that is less than 100%? that effort to field the straight drive was lovely. Fuck, Pant is really chancing his arm.

[booboo]

Just in case you missed it Rishabh Pant is the greatest wicketkeeper batsman that is yet to become a great. Just listen to the comms.

Pant must edge on of these. Farken tinny bastard

[No Quarter]

They certainly give Pant free reign without criticism no matter how he plays. Being aggressive is one thing, charging and slogging every ball is quite another. Rahane was right to tell him to pull his head in.

[booboo]

As much as I'd live to stay up I just can't.

Am off to bed...

I may or may stay tuned for till lunch ... but definitely off to bed.

[canefan]

Jesus, so many missed edges. Just be good enough to catch up with them boys!

[No Quarter]

Latham has been amazing in the field.

[TeWaio]

Feels like it's slipping away now after the dropped catch

I think we're seeing the effect of the conditions as well

[Donsteppa]

Yuss! Rahane gone!

Need Pant out now too. Timmy.
