[Test fan]

Wicket will be fall in next 3 over.

hate it when Latham gets bogged down like this. He doesn't need to be, could easily work Yadav around.

Yeah can't afford to bat himself into a hole. Absolutely need him to front up against Jadeja/Axar.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Impressive start by nz here. Not been in much trouble at all. Need Jadeja to meme things up.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Need to bat once and bat big.

 

[straw man]

Noooooo

This will be umpires call on hitting in line imo.

Edit: I am blind

 

[Athlai]

Latham refuses to die

 

[OverratedSanity]

Nice trolling from latham so far

 

[Athlai]

"in favour of Tom Latham"

Haha I think you mean he wasn't out

 

[Bahnz]

Jeez that was a nasty ball though. Latham did exceedingly well to get an inside edge on that.

 

[hendrix]

This is good.

Low flat wicket, so slow turn. 450 is par from here.

Agreed. He should be on atleast 30 by now- psychologically that would be worth about 65 runs.

 

[Athlai]

I like the bit of aggression. India can't just bowl at us or we will roll over eventually

 

[_Ed_]

I really hope I'm not jinxing him by saying so, but this has been great from Young.

 

[_Ed_]

Jadeja really shouldn't be overstepping.

 

[Athlai]

The siren is so bad, genuinely sounds like the cops trying to pull someone over

 

[Athlai]

Beautiful

 

[Bahnz]

Haha, no way is this a 400 pitch with variable bounce like that. 250 is par imo.

 

[Bahnz]

That Latham sweep shot is as smooth as whipped cream.

 

[_Ed_]

I feared we'd be 40-4 at tea (the lingering scars of being a '90s cricket fan in NZ), so this is a bonus.
