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
Day 5 tomorrow the test started on Wednesday 16th but was washed out on that day .
Last day tomorrow.I assume it will play like a 4th day pitch
It depends it has been under covers a fair bit it might effect how it plays.

We might have to have this won by lunch or the rain will come I think
Or hold on until lunch and hope the rain saves us.

@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!

Betfair has India at $4.70, us at $25 and a draw at $1.35
Anyone know why? Is the pitch a road or is rain forecast? In any case a draw would be maaaasive for us
remember this? One of the all time underdog victories if we pull this off - particularly without Kane.
Also, it looks like it's been 15 years since india dropped a home test to anyone but Aus and Eng

If the weather looks sketchy, but play starts, we should just go for broke. No shame in going all Bazball and reaching for a famous win. No one will remember a flaccid draw

Couldn’t agree more.
If the weather is looking dodgy we have three pinch hitters in Philips, Henry and Southee who can be promoted to have a swing too.
Ok, maybe not Southee, with all the runs he got in the first innings hes due a run of at least ten shit scores.

India don’t have Waqar and Wasim
…unfortunately they do have Bumrah, Ashwin and Jadeja.

Latham Conway and Young all scored at a decent clip last time out. I'd at least start with them, to blunt any action with the new ball, then depending on where we are at we chould always shunt someone up for a big slog. I'd expect everyone will be well aware of the weather forecast and the equation

The pitch still looked pretty fresh, I think our batsmen are more equipped to deal with seaming wickets than spinning ones

Yep, she’s gonna be compelling viewing all right. Better get my chores done and the Weber ready so the other half doesn’t whinge when I park in front of the TV later this avo !

Superb batting by Rachin, absolutely frustrating the Indians.
His parents are from Bangalore, right? If so they'll be loving this.
Yeah he spent a bit of time in Bangalore when he was young. So pretty cool for him to get a century like that at his second home.
I think he also was sent there to practise as a kid? Might be a good idea for some of our other young (potential) guns in the future!

Win, lose or draw the difference between this test and the last Sri Lankan one is huge.
Is Latham THAT much of a better captain than Southee ?
And is Southee that much better batting when he isn't Captain?
