To be fair India are far from full strength themselves (No KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma, R Pant, Jadeja, J Bumrah, M Shami).
New Zealand needs to develop the ability toi win away from home in less that perfect conditions, not just remain as home track bullies.

They had some reasonable success in the last cycle. And they were very competitive in the first test. But we need all our best on deck and we ran into a buzzsaw here in Mumbai

I don't know why you are using past tense. This one is still going on.

Not for long

Damo

Nicholls is also batting slightly for his place. He needs to score some runs soon or he might be toast as well.

Chris B.

Pretty odd by Ross - he was still scoring good runs for us in June so I'm struggling to believe his eyesight is now shot. But, if he can't be bothered he should have stayed home.

Maybe he's got Delhi-belly and didn't want to suffer the ultimate indignity out there!

I'd still give him the series vs the Bangles - provided he genuinely wants it. With Kane sitting out, there's still a clear place for him.

There isnt, though.
He'd be blocking Will Young. Time to go.

Chris B.

@rapido Young would bat at 3 in my team.

He'd be blocking Mitchell or Ravindra - which is fair enough if he still wants to play.

India have taken 2 very poor reviews.

Could come back to bite them, given that we are barely 15% through the run chase.

You are a supreme optimist

My post was factually accurate.

Now India failed to review an LBW that would have overturned the not out decision.

Oh I know. But if we win this game I will shout you a virtual beer. Its just nice to see some of our batters display some fight

Nicholls is looking all out of sorts. However, if he can survive till stumps he just might have a big innings in him.

I note the TAB is no longer offering odds on the result.

50 up for Mitchell. Well done lad

Chris

Well done moose great 50 boy,Still averaging 50 after 6 tests.

canefan

Ashwin on fire right now. I don't know how Nicholls has survived

canefan

Mitchell playing with a positive frame of mind. Until he went aerial once too often, and holed out in in deep. He didn't really need to go there after just having hit a 6

Donsteppa

Six and then out this late in the day from Daryl Mitchell. A good knock, but still a lot to learn about the longer form of the game it seems...

Damo

Nicholls is having some luck today. LBW not reviewed and now bowled but the bail wasn't dislodged.

That was unnecessary from Mitchell. He had just hit a nice controlled 6 and he's out having a bit of a whack at one he should have just defended. Shame.

Donsteppa

And now Blundell idiotically runs himself out without troubling the scorers...

Chris

You muppett Blundell there was never a run to mid off.

Damo

Our path to victory is beginning to look obstructed.

Night all.
