Looking at the forecast. Might get away with a days play today.

A bit of cricket on fathers days would be quite the treat.

Sounds promising. Lost my cricket-mad dad a few months ago at 87. A good innings. He would've loved watching this...Anyway, let's hope we finally get a full day's play.

Sorry to hear that mate.

I’m getting settled in. Fingers crossed for a big impact early on.

Thought Boult had an LBW there too almost straight after. What was wrong with it? Too high??

Pressure invites a false stoke.

They bat so deep. Jadeja is very good and there’s still Ashwin with multiple hundreds.

The bowling has been far tighter this morning than yesterday morning.

BCs have held 91% of slip catches in the last two years — outstanding

This is the best spell of pace bowling I've seen by NZ in years. Giving them nothing.

Indeed. We were rewarded by having Jadeja come in.

This is where this team is so impressive. They looked nervous early yesterday but have changed plans overnight and made the small adjustments needed.

Rahane falls for the Wagner trap, playing probably the worst shot of the whole innings so far.

India struggling...when was the last time they went for so long scoring so few boundaries?

Ashwin smokes Southee through the covers for four but Southee suckers him with a delightful outswinger straight to Latham at slip off the next ball.

Hostage to fortune here, but what’s the point of de Grandhomme? I don’t recall him doing anything with bat or ball in a game I’ve watched. Henry impressed me much more.
Wha daur meddle wi' me?
