Blundell doesn’t look like he’s gonna die of a stroke.

Doing his job though, tough going out there.

He did the business in Australia. Hopefully he can do it again

He has very “Watlingish” potential.

It might be time for Jamieson to start playing a few shots. Hanging around until one doesn't bounce above shin high seems a bit silly.

[No Quarter]

I don't mind India preparing turning pitches, in fact I think it really adds to the challenge of playing them at home. But an international pitch where balls are basically skidding along the ground is a bit if a joke.

[No Quarter]

@Damo agree, we need some fireworks from Jamieson and Southee now to try and wipe out as much of the deficit as possible.

[MN5]

If you could combine our two pace bowlers with their three spinners they’d go ok.

Interesting the Commentators were talking about a placid pitch when from the first day a number of balls just weren’t bouncing. Not sure what they were looking at.

[Damo]

The good news is that we batted for a 142 overs. That's more than a day and a half. India will probably look to declare at about drinks in the final session tomorrow. We might last 3.5 sessions for a draw.

Kylo strikes!

[booboo]

Kylo!

[booboo]

Kylo's first ball.

Loves Kylo.

[canefan]

Hopefully the light holds and we get the full time to bowl at them tonight

[kev]

Hard to do the high five with Kyle

[booboo]

Steve in at 3.

Low 5

[canefan]

Can't coach height. And Kyle uses it well

[booboo]

That lack of bounce worries me come 4th innings

Agreed. The pitch is deteriorating and will be a minefield by the time we bat. We don't want the pace of the game to progress too quickly

[booboo]

Light no good.

Stumps.

I guess placid does fit given there is basically no movement off the pitch. The variable bounce is another thing!
