*Official* New Zealand in Bangladesh 2023/24

[AndyZaltzHair]

Phillips surviving dangerously

 

[King Kane]

There two are doing the right thing and playing some shots, no point just trying to defend on this pitch.

 

[Aidan11]

Don't think this is out.

 

[ataraxia]

This mini-passage of play is very hopeful signs. (almost jinxed that by prompting the reverse sweep)

 

[Aidan11]

What a waste of a review. Not even close.

Bangladesh fielders get too excitable for incidents like this.

 

[King Kane]

Shanto seems to get swayed too easily by the excited appeals from the bowler and fielders,

 

[Athlai]

Lets jam out a ****ing lead lads

 

[Athlai]

Batting gets easier as the ball gets softer. Don't know how much conditions have changed though

 

[King Kane]

Phillips is playing some cracking shots, he has looked better than Mitchell so far.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Some catch that

 

[Athlai]

Yeah gun catch. Shot was absolutely on

 

[King Kane]

Great catch, Mitchell just didn't look like it today.

 

[Aidan11]

Big wicket.

 

[Athlai]

Covered a lot of distance

 

[Athlai]

Yeah gotta attack here

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

classic off spinners wicket to left hander

 

[King Kane]

Hopes of a first innings lead are fading.

Hopefully Jamieson can stick around longer than Santner did.

Phillips is batting well but he needs someone to stick with him.

 

[Athlai]

Longer Levers

 

[Aidan11]

Getting a lead seems to be getting further and further away.

 

[Aidan11]

NZ just need one big partnership to stay in the game.
