Black Caps tour of India

[Chris B.]

@MN5 It's a spinners track - there's plenty of assistance.

And if it's anything like yesterday it's hot as hell (looks like a bit more breeze), so the seamers are only going to have two or three over spells I'd guess - if it's worth using them at all.

Mitch Jr looked completely shattered when he was batting.

Comprehensive win in that session for India. A lot of hard work needed now to get back into this game. So disappointing to see the catches go down. In low scoring games they matter so much more.

[No Quarter]

We are just keeping ourselves in the game, but we can't let their lead get too high. If it gets above 100 it becomes difficult to set them a competitive total.

[Donsteppa]

Feels like we've been cooked in the heat more than they have in this Test.

[No Quarter]

The spinners are offering up 1 - 2 bad balls per over, relieving the pressure on India. Not quite accurate enough, must be pretty tough in the heat though

[No Quarter]

Huge wicket!! Ajaz with 4 now

[Chris]

This will be difficult we might get rolled here for 150 Game could be over on day 3.

[canefan]

We need to finish them now

[Chris]

Bowling too short and different lines easy runs,

[No Quarter]

Poor over from Sodhi

[Chris]

Too wide Patel drop on the 4 metre length on the 4 th stump line that is were it is spinning and biting.

[canefan]

Great run out!

[Chris]

Thank fuck

[canefan]

Washington was being quite the pest

[No Quarter]

HAhahah hilarious way to finish

[Chris]

That 28 run lead could be worth 2 wkts if the Indian spinners hit the right line and length.

[canefan]

We will need 300+ maybe more

[No Quarter]

What a fantastic effort to restrict them to 263. It's all a bit surreal.

[Chris]

We will be struggling to make 200 if they bowl well.
If we make 300 we will win.

[No Quarter]

At the halfway mark the game is even. We're every chance of a collapse on this wicket, but for the 3rd test in a row we are right in it and have every chance of another win.
