***Official*** India in New Zealand 2020

90kph still a bit too quick from Ashwin. He's trying to bowl it into the rough I think but might be better off just floating it up.

 

[honestbharani]

Think Shami will come on and replace Bumrah now. Can decide if India can hope to win or only hope to draw.. this spell.

 

[honestbharani]

And an absolute bonus here. KW getting out to probably the worst bowler of the match so far...

 

[Moss]

Kane sort of gave it away there? Became suddenly expansive in that over.

That makes it a bit harder for NZ to bat India out of the game 1st innings itself.

 

[honestbharani]

Hopefully Shami gets into one of those spells now and can get lucky a couple more times.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

That's changed things a lot. He really needed a big 100.

 

[Daemon]

Yessss, huge wicket. Shami to pretend it's the second innings now.

 

[cnerd123]

loose from Kane. Kohli to hammer a ruthless 200 in the 3rd innings to show him how it's done

Chance now for India to bowl NZ out for 250ish here.

 

[Gnske]

How long until Kane getting out in the 75 to 95 region becomes memey?

Seriously, I feel like i've seen that 89 before many times.

**** no. That wicket made me wish I had been miscarried. ****.

11,000 of your posts make me feel the same way

w00t Ashwin

Get CdG out quickly now and end this day on a high note.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Very good from Ashwin. If they can somehow keep the lead to under a 100 they have a chance.

 

[honestbharani]

Ishant at the other end is a good move.

 

[honestbharani]

And comms now bringing up how they could have played both Jaddu and Ash.

 

[Meridio]

Ashwin to Nicholls, OUT, Ashwin gets the left-hander. A low catch to his right by Kohli at second slip/gully. Was a length ball around middle and leg, didn't turn much maybe just straightened but Nicholls stretched his front foot straight down instead of towards the ball and as a result, got squared up. A thick outside edge that was dying on its way but Kohli got his hands under it. Suddenly, it looks much better for India

You know, sometimes I really wonder about cricinfo commentators. "Didn't turn much, maybe just straightened"? It's absolutely ragged and bounced, on a day 2 New Zealand pitch ffs.

 

[TT Boy]

Ishant at the other end is a good move.

He hasn't been that hot today but Shami full and straight at CdG early on could've been trouble.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Lol welcome to the crease Colin would you like a pie?

They are juz like us. But they get paid to be wrong about cricket.

 

[cnerd123]

NZ's day, but India aren't totally out of it yet. They're going to need to bowl really well tomorrow morning and have a strong 3rd innings with the bat.
