Surprised Anderson's bowled twice as many overs as Neesham. Assuming we pick the two spin bowlers, Jimmy will be our third seamer.

The blokes Sodhi has dismissed can definitely bat though. One played a few Tests not long ago and the other, despite not doing a lot in First Class cricket yet, has just graduated from destroying worlds as an Under 19 international and hit a ton against Australia in their tour game.
Babar Azam, yeah. The vault only has a lowlight he doesn't like to dwell on...

Had a quality delivery in him at times, Nuttall. Disappointed he's still in Christchurch Metro stuff. Wellington to poach.

Seems like Sodhi's putting himself in strong contention, though it still seems most likely that both spinners will play. Not a bad start, all things considered. Will be keen to see how the batsman shape up tomorrow.

Anderson to Shan Masood, 5 wides, Bouncer again but too short this time, goes over the keepers head as well down to the boundary
Not too bad for pace I guess, if Anderson's managed that.

Southee taking advantage of the new ball and his light workload to snaffle some cheap twilight wickets.

gotta admit after all our whinging about spinners today, blocky's boys taking a hit with a sodhi 5fer would be a great turn (tee hee) of events.

Fun fact: NZ drawing this series and India getting beat in Australia would result in NZ being ranked ahead of India for the first time ever

56.2 to Shan Masood, fuller ball, batsman eyeing the square leg boundary, goes for a sweep but misses it, between the bat and pad onto the wicket 136/4
58.5 to Babar Azam, good length ball, batsman misses it trying to defense, loud appeal for lbw and the umpire shakes his head with confirmation and raises his finger 141/5
74.5 to Saad Ali, short pitch ball, batsman onto his backfoot and punches it to the right of short cover but he dives and catches it superbly 171/6
90.3 to Anwar Ali, flighted delivery, teasing the batsman to hit, who smacks hard on it but not cleanly only manages to go directly into the mid-on fielder'd hand. and that ends the days play as well 215/9

Says it all really. Three mistakes and a batsman missing a straighter one on defense.

He'll have booked his place in the first test on that performance though... and we'll end up regretting it.

Yeah not expecting anywhere near those returns in the test.

Interesting that Anderson bowled 9 overs. Are they going to ask Neesham to open if Rutherford hasn't recovered?
