Black Caps tour of India

[MN5]

Southee only needs another 47 wickets to beat Sir Paddles and become our greatest ever.

At the rate he’s taking them at the moment he might need 47 tests to actually get there though.

[ACT Crusader]

I live in hope, but I’m not sure how much success our two orthodox spinners will have. Ashwin and Washington bowled with variety, varying their off breaks and even then we were looking good-ish at 4/200.

[nzzp]

We need a wicket fast

[Bovidae]

Mitch has got this!

His GPS is on target

.Good God - that was a horrible swipe, Virat!

Thought Shubman's was worth a review, because it didn't really straighten and he'd got a decent stride in. Wouldn't have saved him, but an umpire's call so the review wouldn't have been wasted!

Might finally be Santner's day?

[MN5]

Phillips with the impact !

What a champ of a player he is

I’m too shocked to comment on Santner

[Chris B.]

Catch the fucking ball, Mitch!

Probably the wrong thumb grip!

[Chris B.]

Holy moly, Martin!

83/5!

[MN5]

Fuck yes ! Santner and Phillips are non subcontinent versions of Jadeja and Ashwin

Crazy

[MN5]

I love what Phillips does, there is nothing in his first class record which suggests he should be as good as he is at test level

[Gunner]

Every time I check in on cricinfo we’ve nabbed another wicket.

95/6 now.

You’re welcome.

[Cyclops]

These two have dug India out of some serious holes in the past, we really need to keep focused here. If we start thinking that we've done the hard work and broken this batting line up these two will both scores hundreds.

[Chris B.]

Woohoo - that's well bowled Satnav!

Come on - get yourself five!

[booboo]

4 for for Satnav? Not sure what to make of that.

Well done that man.

[Donsteppa]

Well. The Bunsen backfires.

Excellent work, that man!

[NTA]

lol OK I'm asking about bookies at this point

[Cyclops]

6 wickets in the morning session. Pretty decent start for us.

Sundar is another guy with a handy batting record, so still not really into the tail.
