I'm blown away by 0 wickets that session.

me too, incredibly happy, although pitch hasn't got worse, but no woeful shot selection yet either

still plenty of time lol

a draw is the best we can hope for, barring a miracle. 200 runs at 4 an over is just too much

Yeah - we're totally fucked.

There's no way our strategy of nudging it around for the next 25 overs to set a friendly T20 target can possibly work.

Only a fucking idiot would say it is ours to lose - and no-one has.

Give the trophy to the Indians now.

No-one believes in jinxes either and this has nothing to do with your post @nzzp.

Superstitious cricketers eh

@nzzp I thought I would extrapolate on your likely line of thought.

Latham pays for being careless. Henry and Roscoe time to step up

Ross looking fucken shaky. Soft hands Ross, and no bloody run outs!

Ashwin goes to third on the list of Indian bowlers with 418 wickets.

Paddles got 431 in 86, he will probably beat that…..Fucks sake !

FFS that DRS guy seemed to go to Ireland vs ABs levels of trying to find a way to give Ross out

Rosco is looking like a walking wicket out there at this stage. Just survived that dragging of the foot.

Looking like a guy who should have dropped the mike after Southampton

That was a lot closer than it looked initially.
If the keeper takes the bails off half second later...

They might shake hands an hour or so after tea at this rate

Bad light will be a factor if the game is live near day's end

The commentator is starting to annoy me now. We are pretty happy with a draw from here.

I'm torn. Ordinarily I'd want to see us go at this total. Any time. And if anything more so now as we're the fucking world champions and should live up to that. But I also get why an away draw is important in the TWC cycle. History will judge us if we bat out a draw. But I'm a bit put out that we're playing this safe.

Look at what happened in the first innings. Seems the pitch has the potential to surrender wickets fast

Get a draw and reload in Mumbai with Wags 🥰

Donsteppa

There’s no way any team is chasing at much more than 2.5 an over on this fifth day pitch. Well, not without throwing away wickets at regular intervals…

Ross finally gives his wicket away after lots of trying

Donsteppa

Ross Taylor sadly looks every day of his 37 years and 266 days (thanks, CricInfo) with the bat. Devon Conway will be needed back very soon, and Will Young won’t be going anywhere…

Farewell tour back in NZ then let the young kids play. Need to let Young try to claim the opening spot, Conway at 3 or 4 whichever one Kane doesn't want
