Not expecting a lot from Mitchell or Blundell in these conditions at all. I have almost as much faith in Santner against the turning ball tbh, and that's a very low bar. Mitchell's probably going to go out there with a broom and it may be his best chance of making a significant contribution.

Even if they declared now it'd probably be close, but Latham probably needs to make a big one to take it totally beyond India.
Should've just kept sweeping.

Thats Mitchell’s third score of 18 this series. With the rest of the batting pretty flaky, need way more from him.
 

Silver Silva

International Regular
If you told a Black Caps fan they would be in this position in India after being asked to follow on in Galle prior to this test series, they would have told called you crazy !

I don't think these conditions are really his jam so I'm not surprised he's struggled, but admittedly he done have a good ODI record in India.

Really surprised at how little control India have exerted. People have gotten on top of the Indian spinners before, it's not impossible, but the ease of scoring has really stood out. Just too easy for Latham to just tick the scoreboard over with surprisingly little risk.

Yeah you usually have to take a lot more risks to be scoring at this rate against Jadeja in particular. So many crap balls from him.
