All out for 217.

Now the fun really starts with us facing Bumrah.

Basically lunch on day 2. Plenty of time, get in and try to bat once.

India All Out for 217.

Massive chance for these Kiwis.

Tells you how well New Zealand bowled.

[SynicBast]

The salt from some of the Indian "fans" has been delicious.

The comms said that Kyle Jamieson has the 3rd lowest bowling average all time for test bowlers with a minimum of 15 innings(?). The top two guys bowled in the 1800s

[canefan]

That might be the loosest shot Conway has played all tour

That bowling effort really shows what a special side this is (for NZ). They played the entire innings in an absolute war of attrition and India were the ones to blink.

Early returns from the Indian opening bowlers maybe hint they are struggling to find their length. The two tests England may be invaluable.

19/0 when the rain came down and the covers went on.

Weather in Southampton looking dire for rest of today and Monday. Better for Tuesday and Wednesday. Draw looks the most likely outcome.

They are back on. 22-0 after 15 overs. Heavy going.

If you offered a 30 run opening stand but 18 overs off the new ball your probably have taken it at the start of the innings.

The runs are starting to trickle a little more freer now.

[sparky]

31-0. Lots of Kiwi grit from Latham and Conway.

[sparky]

Latham puts one in the air but just wide of the fielder. 32-0

[sparky]

Tea. 36-0. NZ's session. Still 180 runs behind.

[rotated]

This session is pretty simple, if Kane's wicket is still intact at the end of the day then we will be in the box seat.

[sparky]

Conway hits one for 4. 50-0. I keep thinking about Edmund Hillary and that mountain.

Did anyone see the article in the Times from S Jones about how India were making NZ look good?

He's stuck behind The Times paywall, so no. But did it go like this?

[sparky]

70-0. Drinks.

Latham gone. Game on.

Well done by Tommy there one of the best 30s he will make in his career.
