*Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

[KungFu_Kallis]

I like Ajaz but the way he's bowling vs Santner I feel this is quite possibly his last Test

 

[King Kane]

India still scoring too quickly for my liking, they could get this lead below 300 by lunch.

 

[Spark]

Latham can't lose his nerve here. Still have to prioritise cutting down singles rather than lots of boundary riders.

 

[Spark]

Meanwhile Santner can't resort to darts.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Agent Patel ?

0/70 in 14 overs for a spinner in these conditions is terrible.

 

[straw man]

Think there was criticism in the past that Ajaz couldn't bowl quicker when needed, but now he seems to just bowl at 90km/h and has forgotten how to bowl slower.

 

[Skyliner]

As the ball gets softer it won’t bounce as much, the variability will become more of a factor.
Santner just about bowled Gill there.

 

[SteveNZ]

Latham can't lose his nerve here. Still have to prioritise cutting down singles rather than lots of boundary riders.

I bet he can...pretty conservative guy

 

[King Kane]

11 runs off that over from Santner and the lead is already under 300, we need lunch or even better to get another wicket before lunch.

 

[Skyliner]

Think there was criticism in the past that Ajaz couldn't bowl quicker when needed, but now he seems to just bowl at 90km/h and has forgotten how to bowl slower.

Changes of speed that have worked for Santner. Ajaz has been far too predictable.

 

[Spark]

This field is awful.

 

[Spark]

So you're not cutting off boundaries and you're not cutting off singles. So what exactly is the plan?

 

[capt_Luffy]

That was a beautiful six

 

[sayon basak]

@capt_Luffy this is looking good. Guess I'll go back to my 4th occultation for the betterment of my neighbors.

See you later

 

[King Kane]

12 overs for 81 runs, India are batting at ODI pace here, a good chance this match will be decided today, either we bowl them out or they get the runs.

 

[subshakerz]

India as expected giving a good fight and making a chance for themselves.

 

[eroticfishcake]

Just when they start giving you hope, Team India collapse

 

[Silver Silva]

I think we need to do a Jaiswal 6 tally watch , I'm convinced he will one day have the all time test record.

So those 3 sixes before lunch took him past Marlon Samuels, Richard Hadlee, Hansie Cronje, John Reid, Murali Vijay, Jos Buttler, Quinton De Kock,Moeen Ali,Dhananjaya De Silva, Darren Sammy and Mohammad Rafique on the all time list ..

He's now tied with Shaun Pollock and Ajinkya Rahane on 35 sixes

 

[ataraxia]

Doom and gloom thread anyone?

 

[Moss]

Not a great session from NZ, should have put more on the board first and India made them pay. Pretty gutsy from Jaiswal to come out all guns blazing after the first innings, gives India a chance.
