    *Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

    Someone said Santners back. It’s more accurate to say he’s arrived. He took his maiden test 5 fer in this match. Only his second first class 5 fer.

    The ball keeping appreciably lower on occasions now, a huge advantage to the bowling side. ‘The airs gone out of the ball’ as they say.

    Nah, keep Sant on I reckon. He’s seeing the matrix out there.

    He was grinning like a cheshire cat a moment ago, seems to be a man absolutely in 6th gear mentally at the moment.

    Santner with a side strain fielding like a demon.

    Seems he checks every snicko past the bat twice as well. Even when it’s a clear flat line the first time.

    All that flashy scoring against the hard new ball means absolutely nothing now.

    Smithy knows the score. On comms in India you talk up Kohli due to the demi-god status he has there.

    You absolute beauty Mitch Santner!! Ball kept lower, this is the older softer ball compared to the hard nut the spinners started with.

    C’mon Sant.

    India attempting to grind now, of course still picking off any bad balls like the fast long hop stuff Ajaz has sent down too often.

    Palpatine in the crowd.

    Why not go with that option, and see if Sundar wants to chance his arm. Latham has surely got to see that the options he has tried to complement Santner haven’t worked, and be proactive about trying to find a solution.

    Kohli twitching away at the non strikers end, now looking like he has the weight of the world on his shoulders.

    Better from Ajaz. That last delivery looked a bit slower. You have to give the ball a chance to do something off the surface, not just fire them down.

    Sundar in to try play the role Jaiswal was playing.

    Can they grind it out? Yeah? Nah? How the tables have turned now.

    A scratchy, nurdly, painstaking 80 odd beats a swashbuckling stylish 60 odd in the final analysis, and that’s the nub of it. Can one Indian batsman grind it out against an older ball on this surface the way Latham did.

    We’ve got one bloke exerting control and producing chances at one end, and the end just bleeding runs. Remarkable.

    Santner is bowling on a different plane than both Ajaz and GP. Ajaz is looking stock, a metronome, no variations in the pace of his deliveries.
