Daryl Mitchell batting more like Henry Nicholls than Henry Nicholls himself.

If he focused on his batting as much as he seems to have worried about the weather in the last few overs, Daryl might not be batting so slowly.

Well he’s got his wish, looks shite up there.

But two batsmen in batting under 100 is not good. If they get out there again they need to take some risks.

[Donsteppa]

11 more overs than I thought we'd get tonight at least. Think it will be an on-off-on-off from here on in at best.

[Rapido]

Worst I've ever seen Mitchell bat. It's like he's batting with a 1980s bat that doesn't have a sweet spot covering 90% of the bats surface.

Very apt description.

Or perhaps he just hates rain ?

[Donsteppa]

Rain radar is ominous.

Think the Umpires had it right in trying to stay out there. It's the sort of weather where once you are off its hard to get a good clear window to get the covers off again and resume.

[Gunner]

Saved by the rain, though if they get back out there and ends up a 10 over game we’re fucked.
Bangladesh will chase this down at a canter.

[Donsteppa]

No run chase happening tonight. A shame, as it was looking like a good matchup.

First time seeing Sears bowl. Based off one over, but I thought he was supposed to be fast. Mid 130s is what he was bowling. That's not fast. Also looks a but awkward.

[Bones]

@Crazy-Horse excellent work mate

[Crazy Horse]

Second Sears over a bit quicker, mid 140s. Weird, to the naked eye this over doesn't seem much different.

[Bones]

@Crazy-Horse doubling down, good man

I blame the wind. The pussy can't bowl into it

[Bones]

What the hell are the Comms going on about? That's a regulation wicket keeper catch. Siefert half asleep.

[KiwiMurph]

@Bones after watching the Pakistan Aus test the difference in commentary quality is gigantic.

[Bones]

@KiwiMurph Rigor hadn't seemed too bad until this game. Was moaning away about the first wicket going NZ's way, right down to completely making up that Southee didn't appeal to the umpire.

Went a little quiet when the replay of the appeal was played.

[KiwiMurph]

Really well done by the NZ bowlers. Well lead by captain Santner.

[KiwiMurph]

Black Caps struggling with the bat again - losing wickets with Duckworth Lewis likely required is problematic.

[KiwiMurph]

This NZ batting situation is entirely fucked

[Donsteppa]

For the second time in the year, Finn Allen is involved in the most idiotic village running you will see.

[Toddy]

Tell me you're a Blackcap without telling me you're a Blackcap
