-
all the wickets that are being used play dramatically differently to one another, so there's no real advantage at all.
Yeah, ignoring the fact that

Hopefully one of our top three score big today to anchor the innings.

A couple of lovely shots by both Young and Ravindra so far.
16/0 off 3.1 overs.

29/0 off 5 overs. NZ putting the bad balls away so far. Smart batting.

44/0 off 7 overs.
Ravindra 25 off 23
Young 18 off 20 -
Young gone. Silly shot really, didn’t need to do that.

Tighten up your jinx game C4L. Young holes out to a soft dismissal.

Williamson struggling a bit with the change in pace.
BCs 67/1 off 13 overs. Run rate has dropped a bit.
