    That was a real captains knock from Latham though, has put us in a position to win the game

    Dumb shot Latham

    No right shot he has scored all day sweeping just unlucky he toed the bat on the ground.

    Don't know if we've got enough yet - but, if you'd offered me NZ setting India 280 to win in the 4th innings I'd have bitten your hand off!

    No we need 350 lead we can still get there.

    If we can get around 100 from the last 5 batsmen we will have set them a daunting target to save the match

    I can't believe we won the first test and have a 300 run lead on a turning pitch in the second with 5 wickets in hand. Amazing stuff.

    The SL series was just a warm up for this series as it turned out, which I don't agree with

    What a hugely satisfying days cricket for NZ. We are in the box seat with the dream of a series win in India in sight

    What a great day. I think we won all 3 sessions comfortably. Whatever we end up setting them now we'll be the favourites, but India still in the game. Another 50 runs will make it extremely tough and another 100 (for a lead of 400) will be as close to a guarantee as you get in test cricket.

    This partnership is going to be important tomorrow. If they can find those next 50 runs then it puts us a really good position for the tail to wag against a tired and deflated bowling attack. On the other hand, if they can break it early they'll back themselves to clean things up quickly and limit the chase to 350.

    @canefan how was it a "warm up" when we've played mostly, the same team?

    @Chris-B he's probably still making his twin give him 5000 throwdowns every day

    I mean that we had no warm up games in SL, so in hindsight we did not take that series seriously enough. It only served to get us used to sub continental conditions, and we have been dramatically better in India

    It wouldn’t be cricket if you couldn’t bag players and then they then went and put in good performances. Almost feel I should take credit for Latham 80 lol. I’m still trying to get my head around Satners incredible bowling performance.

    Need to find a few more runs before I get too excited but fantastic effort so far

    We had a warmup against Afghanistan. Strictly not Sri Lanka, but NZC did try to be fair to them

    With a lead of 301, by the massive underdog, with 5 second innings wickets in hand.

    If we can get another 50-70 runs then we have a great chance, although you can never count out India with the batting lineup they have.
