*Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

Fair to say I think we won that session, I thought our spinners would do alright on this pitch but I didn't think they would do this well this early.

They bowled well but India's batsmen made them look like all time great spinners with some all time awful batting.

Gotta say, Santner running through us by bowling really slow after people were saying eariler how he hasnt figured out that he needs to bowl quick on asian pitches is really amusing.

Hope Ajaz can snap up 1 or 2 after the break, he’s been anonymous so far in the series and will be needed in the 4th innings.

Early days yet but how thankful must IND be about the Sundar selection. Clearly need all possible batting depth in this game.

His stock ball has still been been quick. He's varied it really well though and the batsmen don't seem to be picking his slower ones out of the hand for some reason so they've been the dangerous ones as a variation.

Santner's not really dropped his pace that much but between that and Noman bowling mid-70s it is nice to see people remember that you are indeed allowed to flight the ball even if the pitch is slow.

Just saw the scorecard! If Henry had been fit I wonder if Santner would even be playing this game.

This was what I was worried aboit Santner doing on SL pitches. Luckily he did not get his act in place.

Henry getting injured and being replaced with Santner looks like being a blessing in disguise, he wouldn't be bowling much like Southee and O'Rourke.

Not to mention Santner made a very handy 33 runs with the bat in our first innings, he is on track for the MOTM if we win this test.
