Wow - huge drama at the end. Never in doubt with our spin trio at the crease today... Well batted Somerville, Ravindra and Patel. You saved the match against huge odds!

Maybe drop Nicholls to get Wags back in, and bat Somerville at 5

Or drop Nicholls for Mitchell

Cyclops

Hmm, but India are ahead 72-49 on the boundary count back...

All class Ashwin. Lovely acknowledgment of Ravindra

That's the best 18* that Ravindra may ever score...

This. So much this.

Damo

That was a top effort. I am proud of the boys. Drawing games you could lose is the sign of a committed team.

So composed coming forward to meet the spin. Confidently took the review too

No Quarter

Jadeja was carving us up but ended his spell bowling a bit too full, I wonder if he started to tire a bit.

Damo

Axar should have been given a go in the final hour. He carved us up in the first innings.

No Quarter

I am absolutely shocked that we escaped with a draw there, I'm not sure there is any other team in the world that would have survived that final day. The mental toughness this team displays when the heat is on, time time time again, is absolutely phenomenal. What a team.

In hindsight they may have left it too late (he did bowl 2 of the last 3 overs. But when you have Ashwin and Jadeja - two of the worlds best, you would tend to trust that they will do the job.

If he has got mettle like that he may well make many more runs for NZ.

We wasn't named in part for Rahul Dravid for nothing.
