Australia probably have their noses in front now.

Need these two and Mitchell/Phillips to scor big runs. Really good opportunity for them to stamp their marks on the team.

Yep time to stand up under pressure and see how good you really are.

Sadly we appear to be found wanting

Always going to happen Australia have a big mental edge over our batsmen.
We are half out before we get to the crease.

[Donsteppa]

The chase is on. Young sacrifices his wicket to avoid slowing the run rate further.

[Chris]

The catching of Australia is light years ahead of NZ which has been shithouse amateur time.

[canefan]

And we used to have a formidable reputation in the field too

[MN5]

Well, definitely a fun test to be a part time spinner

[Damo]

That was pies from Young there. Just let that go.

Ravindra and Mitchell are the right pair for this situation

[Donsteppa]

Mitchell also with some interesting decision making early.

[MN5]

Lyon will get five. He’s looking all sorts of dangerous.

If Phillips can get 5 wickets then Lyon should be able to

Not true, Southee and Young both pulled off absolute rippers.

Southee after dropping two relatively easier ones earlier...

I’m always a glass half full type of ferner

[canefan]

Mitchell looking highly unsettled right now, trying to hit himself into form. Looking every bit a walking wicket

Talking about the amount of catches that are actually caught and not dropped in this series.
So yeah very true.

Not light years though, just a fair bit.

Scott Kiggeliens pathetic effort doesn’t help my argument I must say

[Cyclops]

God, I don't know what would be worse. Get rolled for 150 and losing by 200+ or getting through to about 300, losing by 75 and knowing that we probably with this game if we performed just a little bit better on day 2.

[canefan]

Can we agree that Ravindra is one of our form batters right now? Fighting 50 there

[Damo]

Mitchell looks scratchy but the point is he's still there and starting to look a little better.

50 partnership up. Come on boys one more over and start tomorrow with confidence.

He has all the time in the world if he wants it. Raining out here just before and Monday looking dodgy it must be said though.

Nice work from these two after KW went. Ravindra looking classy and Mitchell dogged.

Combine that with Phillips efforts earlier and NZ have definitely won the day.
