  • Third wicket to Bashir with the last ball before lunch - 43-3 and a lead of 118
  • Game on now.
    I wouldn't fancy us chasing 220 on this wicket

    Crazy things happening in India V NZ 1st test.

    India won toss and decided to bat.
    Another wicket 1st ball after lunch and India are 34/7 !

    Latest: 40/8 as Matt Henry once of Kent takes 3 wickets in 6 balls.

    Latest, Latest news: Henry 4/15 now sprints 40 metres to take a great catch and India 40/9
  • This is going to be one hell of an interesting day! Can we bowl them out for a total lead of 200 ish? If so, can we then win it? Enthralling viewing I feel.

    Unbelievable stuff. 39-8 now with Kohli, Sarfraz, KLRahul, Jadeja and Ashwin all out for ducks!!!   
  • India 🤣
  • India picked 3 spinners but all 9 wickets have gone to seamers. Not sure the pitch is going to break up inside the four sessions of this Test match. 
  • One thing that's changed about cricket over recent years is India are now so dominant in terms of money that I now find it every bit as funny when India have a collapse as when Australia do. Even a few years ago I'd barely have noticed, today I had a browser window open with the Cricinfo text updates while following England on the main one.

    India's lowest totals in Tests

    • 36 v Australia - Adelaide, Dec 2020
    • 42 v England - Lord's, Jun 1974
    • 46 v New Zealand, Bengaluru, 2024
    • 58 v Australia - Brisbane, 1947
    • 58 v England - Manchester, 1952
  • India 46 all out and Matt Henry 5/15 and his 100th wicket in Test cricket.

    India's lowest ever score in India.

    Indian won the toss and decided to bat 🤦🏽‍♂️
    Once upon a time Kent could attract bowlers of the calibre of Matt Henry. Sadly no more.

    Leach gets a much needed wicket 77-4

    Kamran LBW B Leach 26
  • Rizwan c Root B Carse 23

    114/5 and Pakistan are still in the box seat but...
  • edited October 17
    Smith has dropped a sitter. Has to put it behind him but it is the easy drops that defines great keepers. Then Root does the same thing albeit he is closer, doesn't have the gloves and the ball is lower. Poor Carse the victim of both.

    I feel gutted for Carse after Smith drops a dolly and then Root drops a catch, 2 balls later which he normally takes.
  • Root is a terrible slipper. Shells so many

    Root is a terrible slipper. Shells so many

    Joe Root percentage rate of slip catches held are very high but the dropped catches are remembered where the held catches are soon forgotten.

    The two dropped catches in one over have hit England hard at a crucial time.

  • Pakistan now 209 runs ahead at tea with 5 wickets in hand
  • Meanwhile and for a bit of light relief, NZ, in response to India's 46 all out off 31.2 overs, are 82-1 off 21 overs

  • The venom of the pitch seems to be seeping away slowly.  Perhaps we're learning that the time to bowl spin on a Test pitch is between days 4 and 8, after which the pitch begins to flatten out again..? 

    It could be a belter in a couple of weeks' time. 
  • Now Pope is no longer Captain, we can start getting reviews right again.
  • Leach with another LBW. 147-6 and a lead of 222. 
  • 250 might be chaseable, any more and we're in trouble!
  • Leach bowls Jamal with a quicker, fuller ball

    150-7 and a lead of 225
  • Noman caught by Stokes at slip off Bashir

    156-8 and a lead of 231

    On a hat trick…

    Ignore me. Are combined hat tricks a thing lol
  • Bashir gets another left hander out
    Now 4/46 

    156/8 and 231 ahead.
  • Will have to be our biggest successful chase in Asia. Still think it’s possible if we avoid a collapse like in the first innings, big if though
  • 185-8 (50) and 260 ahead
