2nd Test: New Zealand v India

pressure

222/5

Rahane is totally aceing it. Someone was calling for axeing Rahane and playing Ashwin here right? Or was it somewhere else?
Anyway, India looking great now. I have no idea if Kiwis will put up a fight here. I hope they do.

  New Zealand 192 & 24/1 (9.0 ov)  India 438  New Zealand trail by 222 runs with 9 wickets remaining 

hahahaha!  Clark declared eh...give the Saffies n outside-outside chance to set a world record.

I wud not have done that but Clarke tends to make declarations like that

Looks like an uphill task without Ross Taylor !

Lets hope they can ~

40 - 2

10.4  Khan to Williamson, OUT, edged and caught by Dhoni! That is a terrific start for India and it's the batsman that was on them

like a rash since the start of the one-day series!

Williamson thought it best to go for an on-the-up cover drive and gets a very fine edge.

KS Williamson c †Dhoni b Khan 7

52 - 3

16.6

Zaheer to Rutherford, OUT, edged and through and Zak strikes again!

Oh, wait, they're checking the no-ball. All fine, Rutherford's gone and Zak to have another in the first hour

HD Rutherford c †Dhoni b Khan 35

87 - 4

34.1

Shami to Latham, OUT, and Latham is not going to be a happy man at all! He's pushed at one outside off and nicks off to the keeper.

It was just back of a length, but wide enough to be left alone. But Latham has made a poor choice and has to walk back.

He's rather peeved with himself. That will be lunch !

TWM Latham c †Dhoni b Mohammed Shami 29

Lunch , Day 3 :

Kiwis trail by 159 runs with 6 wickets remaining  :-[
