Black Caps tour of India - 2024

[canefan]

O'Rorke silences the entire stadium getting Pant to chop on, out for 99. We have been hammered by the Indian batsmen today though

[booboo]

Ah fuck.

Normal service etc ...

Chase 200 and it's 1-nil India ...

[canefan]

Great over from O'Rorke. Dug it in short, the Indian batsmen are suddenly uncomfortable again

[MN5]

Wooooo he gets another one !

[canefan]

O'Rorke appears to have gotten some serious tap this morning, going for 6.8 an over. Different story now as he gets Rahul caught behind after exacting some vicious bounce in his short spell. Time to carve up the tail

[canefan]

O'Rorke gets Jadeja now! Come on, skittle the rest! He's looking the most menacing right now, we need to get them now before Ashwin can settle in

[canefan]

India bring up the 100 lead and Henry gets Ashwin. Only two tail enders to get now. Come on boys!

[canefan]

Just one more to get. The winning total will hopefully be not more than 110

[canefan]

NZ require 107 to win

[antipodean]

That's a genuine collapse from a position where they could've saved the test.

Difficult not to use superlatives for that second ball spell.

[Chris]

Great bowling O’’Rourke and Henry really used the new ball very well bowled smart and set good fields.
Latham has done a great job as Captain marked improvement on Southee’s captaincy.

[canefan]

The Indian new ball showing a fair amount of movement

[canefan]

Latham survives an Indian LBW review. They've been poor with reviews this match

[canefan]

Play is halted due to bad light. The Indian players are salty

[canefan]

Now the torrential rain is coming down. Hopefully the staff have protected the pitch properly. NZ will head into day 4 needing 107 to win with 10 wickets in hand

I assume it will play like a 4th day pitch

If the weather denies us tomorrow I'm going to do something wildly inappropriate
