    I think India will be much better in their second innings, so how many runs do you all reckon we need on the board?

    300-350 enough to defend?

    Nothing.

    We entered some sort of Twilight Zone!

    300 would be good

    A lead of 400 with two days to bowl them out on a crumbling wafer biscuit of a wicket.

    @Gunner If we can bat some time, the pitch should continue to deteriorate - the more time we bat, the more runs we get and the more difficult the pitch gets.

    Right now it doesn't look unplayable.

    You'd think a lead of 300 would be enough - but, who knows!

    Jadeja has a crazy first class batting record. A triple ton to his name.

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. He’d be the best all rounder of all time if he managed that at test level.

    He actually has three first class triples.

    Will Young, the batsman who looks great scoring 20. Time to move on from him

    @SouthernMann Who is the better alternative? Hopefully one comes along... I sort of feel Young has kept the role as backup batter, because there is simply nobody putting any pressure on. Hopefully by the time we get to the start of the next WTC cycle in 12 months, someone (Muhammad Abbas?) puts their hand up.

    So frustrating. You’re exactly right, it’s not like he looks out of place but that big defining score still hasn’t come yet

    They play such garbage during the break on Sky. If it was up to me I'd just be playing highlights of past Black Caps glory, like the WTC final or other epic matches we've won. Would be way more fun to watch.

    Reminds me of Fleming. Looks solid until he inexplicably gets out for about 30

    Too much ho him batting so far. We desperately need a big score from someone or India will chase this down pretty easily

    We need to bat them out of the game,
    We need 350 plus to apply real pressure to India,so 250 at least in this innings.
    Take the game in to day 4 and we will get a historic series win.

    Starting to get some real turn now. Batting last will be reolly tricky.

    I have similar thoughts to @Chris-B , batting is only getting tougher so there's a double bonus, the longer we bot the more they need and the harder each run will be.
