That's a genuine collapse from a position where they could've saved the test.

Unbelievable turnaround

Difficult not to use superlatives for that second ball spell.

[Chris]

Great bowling O’’Rourke and Henry really used the new ball very well bowled smart and set good fields.
Latham has done a great job as Captain marked improvement on Southee’s captaincy.

[canefan]

The Indian new ball showing a fair amount of movement

[canefan]

Latham survives an Indian LBW review. They've been poor with reviews this match

[canefan]

Play is halted due to bad light. The Indian players are salty

Now the torrential rain is coming down. Hopefully the staff have protected the pitch properly. NZ will head into day 4 needing 107 to win with 10 wickets in hand

I assume it will play like a 4th day pitch

If the weather denies us tomorrow I'm going to do something wildly inappropriate

[canefan]

Looks like there will be rain tomorrow. What time does play start?

[nzzp]

going to be a great evening for hiding behind the couch. You never forget as a Craps fan

930 (915 because of lost time) I think

[canefan]

We might have to have this won by lunch or the rain will come I think

It depends it has been under covers a fair bit it might effect how it plays.

Or hold on until lunch and hope the rain saves us.

[Chris B.]

@Crazy-Horse India managing to lose 7/54 on this pitch makes me nervous.

We need two guys to make 30, two guys to get to 20 and a few others just to scratch a couple of runs.

It's not too much to ask, is it?!!

I wish we had Mark Chapman to bat at 8!

[Chris]

107 to get if it doesn't rain we will be fine one decent partnership and it's done.
