*Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

Lol, a slack comedy run out to end the innings. India with a handy lead, no real feel for whether it's a significant one. For this innings at least it seemed to get much harder to bat on as the ball got older, so it could be an idea to be relatively aggressive against the new ball

Sundar is batting way too low. Stranded twice now. What a waste of a batter who looks better than most, in these conditions.

As usual Latham with one good knock and little else, but he did save a genuinely fine innings for when it was really needed.

Highest first innings score for India this series. If you’d suggested before the series 263 would be it, doubt you’d find any takers. NZ can be pretty proud though i think India have enough for this game.

Looks like the ball is seaming a wee bit on this deck too. A shame Henry didn't get another go the way he's been bowling. Could have made things tougher for India.

Played it terribly did Latham, bat going across the ball towards mid on and way out in front of his body

Latham is still our best left handed test opener since John Wright, he is probably better than most of our right handed test openers as well.

Mark Richardson was better than Latham. Conway might be too.
Mark Richardson was a better test opener in terms of defending and staying out there but he made Latham look like Pant in terms of scoring rate.

I can't criticise Richo though as I was a right handed version of him as an opener. even my own teammates would sledge me for scoring so slowly.

Next session huge for the direction of this test, don't really know who's in front here. Both sides in with a good chance, could be one of those games where one really bad session determines the outcome of the match
