India's done well to pull things back despite having to bat last on a minefield.

Think we're at least 50 short of being a reasonable chance but either way Ajaz will still be frothing at the chompers.

Axar would've been a very effective bowler on this track. Plus his batting!

Do you really need 4 spinners though? Just play an extra batsman imo.

No you didn't. You only mentioned his batting.

Not looking great.
India's highest successful chase here is 51 runs while 163 is the highest by any side. There are no other successful 3-digit chases.

He's actually shown a happy tendency to gut it out, whatever that means for this generation, for some hard runs this last year. Doesn't mean his tech flaws are going away anytime soon but at least he's shown willingness to be proactive even on that front. Good signs.

What are the kinds of totals defended though, will have to look up. Can remember India defending 106 or so against AUS in 2004 but that pitch was far worse than this one.

Day’s play along expected lines I thought, once India got their lead. Good to see NZ (Young in particular) stretching India as far as possible, to the point where the bowlers have *something* to bowl at, but it’s probably not enough with this attack. (Though O’Rourke could be a weapon here if NZ decide to use him).
Again the fielding. Compare two similarly pivotal moments (Gill dropped by Chapman, and Mitchell brilliantly caught by Ashwin), if that doesn’t illustrate the need for NZ to fix this then nothing will.

IIRC the target for Aus in 2004 was like 105. Fell 15 short. I think that pitch was even more spiteful than this one, though, as even Harbhajan rapidly entering the "doesn't actually turn the ball" phase of his career was able to rissole Aus.

Chasing 150 here is as good as chasing 250. Gotta knock off at least 70 while the ball's new because this lot 100% won't cope once it starts biting. Think NZ take this tbh, no jinxing.

That is wild.
Surely they get this tho. Day 3, bat deep, no Santner, one partnership and its over.

We have a chance, but think we're 30 runs shy of par given our bowling hasn't been quite as accurate as desired. If only Phillips could have faced another 20 balls batting like that... but it was a beautiful carom ball from Ashwin.
NZ's dropped catches, that's easily worth 30 runs.

Gill was dropped on 45 wasn't he? He went on to double that.
