Black Caps tour of India

That didn’t last long.

Yet more proof that cricket is a batsman’s game. Patel and O’Rourke probably had a tough nights sleep knowing they had to at least try and survive as long as possible and then back up straight away at the bowling crease.

Contrast that with non bowlers like Conway, Young etc who only have to focus on……..fielding.

But yeah, India will wrap this up pretty quick

Henry gets Sharma !

But still far too few runs on the board to defend

Alert me if we get them 50-4 or 5

16/2 and it's on!

[Cyclops]

In some ways it's even more frustrating if we lose by 2 wickets than if they easily knock this off and win by 9 wickets. At least in that case we can tell ourselves nothing would have been enough, whereas a close loss means that those dropped catches really were the difference.

Kohli has a fantastic record in the 4th innings.

I don't believe. But I might be swayed slightly if we can get them to 50-5

[MN5]

Matt Henry averaging 30 with the ball now, that’s right on the cusp of very good.

C’mon son !

18/3!!!!

Believe!!!!!

@canefan Yeah - we need to get Pant very quickly!

[nzzp]

@Chris-B he's not going to stay for long. But he'll score quickly

[MN5]

Aren’t we lucky Kohli has decided “fuck it, I don’t want to be in the Fab Four anymore”

One good score out of six in this series.

KW, Root and Smith are laughing

You're welcome! Worked in the second test as well.

Pant has the right idea. 5 overs of this and chase is over.

[MN5]

Is Will O’Rourke a specialist number 11 batsman now ?

[Chris B.]

28/4!

But, not Pant!

He scares the shit out of me!

Completely fearless (seemingly)!

[MN5]

Blow me down, how often does Phillips come on and get a crucial early wicket ?

He’s fluking a better record than that noted fluke artist Colin De Grandhomme !

[Chris B.]

I think we got Jaiswal caught as well - even if the lbw didn't stand?
