No down seems exceptionally unlikely to me given who's opening.

Yeah, predicting this to be a hard slog to get 10 wickets but we’ll pick them up eventually. Be nice to get a couple with the new ball.

We've made quite a few big totals at the Basin in recent years, including a couple of other 500+ scores iirc.
edit: 4 down at stumps please.

Boult to get a haul. The rivalry between him and Southee to get wickets will compel him. Just like Kane will be determined to reclaim a higher score than Latham in the 2nd test which will see him get a triple

Azhar Ali's a couple of years back for starters. And Gooch's 333. And Sobers' 365* and Hayden's 380 etc etc.

I know Australia won when Hayden hit 380, so that's very likely the highest. I can think of a bunch of winning triples too - Azhar and Karun really recently; Clarke against India; Amla against England; Jayawardene against South Africa. And that's just since I've started watching. Not that rare.

Hayden's 380 must be the highest score in a test with a decisive result. Granted, it was Zimbabwe, but it's still test cricket.

Also a certain 329 at Lahore in 2002, just to remind ourselves what Pakistan vs New Zealand contests used to be like.

Top effort from Latham. Like a lot of others here I've been disappointed with his efforts in the last 2 years or so, full credit where due. Was expecting him to fill his boots but looks like he overcame his single biggest weakness, concentration, for that innings. Really hope it's a breakthrough for him, too capable a player to be averaging 35 in tests.
