Calm down, it is just one six. For a moment I felt as some 6's record was broken.

McCullum is such an overrated player.

He's overrated because people assume he's New Zealand's best batsmen.

 

[brackenNY]

[Howsie]

stage set for Redmond's day

I've been saying that for months.

 

[Raghav]

I've been saying that for months.

But, this is my first time..

 

[brackenNY]

Ajmal gets a wicket.

 

[Fusion]

Ajmal!

 

[Raghav]

Ajmal gets a wicket.

Long Batting order for NZ may help NZ to chase this down.

But, it is really soft dismissal

 

[Dissector]

This is some excellent spin bowling from both ends. It's hard to see the inexperienced NZ batting handling this. Their best hope is probably a big partnership between Taylor and Vettori.

 

[Uppercut]

Big fan of Elliot. Doesn't get bogged down. I only hope he doesn't end up hitting himself out so Ross Taylor can bat through. They're much more suited to the opposite roles but Moles seems to like having everyone do the opposite of what they're good at.

 

[Uppercut]

Boom. There's the slog sweep.

 

[Raghav]

NZ looking good ATM, 106-3

Long batting to come for NZ; that will help them win this

 

[Scaly piscine]

Naved-ul-Hasan back on to get the runs flowing again.
