    Young's inability to find a single is going to get him out soon

    That session is another points decision for us. I think we need these two to add about another 50 runs before I'll start to feel any kind of comfort, but we're inching ahead of them.

    I think 'par' for the next session is about 180/3. If we're much behind that South Africa have edged ahead of us. If we're much beyond that then the session is as close to a knock out as a single session can be.

    Nice call, par it is. I would us ahead at the moment and we should win from here but still a fair amount of work to do.

    Clearly in front

    If anyone disagrees, SA is paying $15 for the win.. make some money

    nice..while these two are batting, I think NZ is allowed some confidence.

    However if we lose a wicket the remaining batsmen have the ability to score 200 in 100 balls or be all out for 30 runs or less.

    As much as Young isnt scoring, Im quite happy for him to occupy the crease right now and not concede his wicket.

    Wickets have fallen in bunches all through this test, and this pitch is looking pretty awkward. Getting in will be hard work.

    We're clearly in front but not decisively. Leading a heavyweight bout 6 rounds to 4 with two rounds to go kind of thing. You should win it from here but can't rest easy yet.

    If we can get to 200 without losing another wicket I think we're decisively ahead. Mental barrier of 200. Less than 10 runs needed per wicket in hand. Still some tough runs to get before then though, and this South African team will keep fighting, for such a young team they have an incredible fight.

    So who's going to man of the match, Williamson or O'Rourke?

    I'm leaning towards Williamson as he has taken full responsibility for the chase.

    Reading the sky is falling on our heads posts is quite amusing

    Assuming we see this out NZ will have had 117 test victories. 71 in the last 24 years. We’ve never had it so good. Even the recent awful years were glorious compared to our first half century of test cricket.

    If we do go peak Black Craps from here I will ban myself from the Fern.

    Joins a couple of handy Australian Steve’s on 32 test tons.

    Well done Young.

    A pretty decent test all things considered and timely support for the GOAT

    Well done BCs for creating history vs SA too

    Do you count that as a dropped catch?

    So Young has played better than Conway in this game but is not really an opener even though that's where he has played his previous tests. Given Conway seems to be out of form, do you give Young another shot at opening? or Conway keeps his spot?
