You’ve got the whole of India to choose from and we’re playing where the air is unbreathable and it’s dark at 4pm every day?

Well this has been a pretty decent day so far. Let's not ruin it with a lazy wicket at the end
Haha, you can see how desperate Latham and Young are to get off. Tbf, you can quite clearly see all 4 shadows from the lights now, surprised they haven't come off yet.

Outstanding... phenomenal day. Plenty of work still to be done. If these two guys survive the first hour we have a long batting line up to capitalize this great start.

Definitely feels like a test match between no. 1 vs no. 2

What a day! Hard to think of many better for NZ in India since I've been following the game. NZ still behind the game given they're batting last but that is an opening partnership for both of them to savour.
Yeah perfect day. Glad that Southee and Jaimeson have shown their class (aided by just a bit of swing/movement). Also great application from the openers - hope they're able to build on this proper. Kane and Latham had a century partnership on the same ground in the 1st innings last time, it all fell in a heap after that. Excellent work nevertheless to see out the day.

Long way to go still. 200+ runs behind its still a lot unless the pitch continues to behave not too bad tomorrow. 4th and 5th day it'll be unplayable I'm guessing. There'll be turn and very low bounce.

Flawless day. Still behind but did everything required to make up for Day 1 session 3. Stoked for my boi WIll Young looking the part. This pitch will go full meme crater any moment I'm sure, as it should too, but for now NZ have done what was needed.

First he was a pop star, then he was an actor, now he's anchoring the batting for the Black Caps. Has anyone ever reinvented themselves more times than Will Young?

I haven't watched a ball of it yet, not least because I was too occupied watching the main event at Chattogram to watch the Kanpuri undercard. I gather the pitch isn't doing much?

EDIT: Just seen the bowling card. Oooft, this looks like a stultifying dull day's cricket

What was India thinking resting their best players against no 1 team. Nz are going to get 650 easily here and win at a canter. Expect a big ton from KW
