I saw one of the players who were part of the GT team on the balcony...I can't remember his name...Sai Sudharsan or Sai Kishore...

It's good that he's with the squad.

That one will hurt. Thakur staying in meant the difference between 400 and whatever we now end up with. Which won't be much more than whatever we have atm.

338/7 is a good result at the end of Day 1. The pretenders in our top order took the shine off for the real batting in Pant and Jaddu. Shami did well to negotiate that phase of play at the end, let's hope we get 350-375 and that Jaddu can ton up.

This might still be an underpar score. Seems like a perfectly fine deck to bat on once the ball loses it's shine

350-375 I think would definitely be enough. I rate these Indian bowlers better than the New Zealand bowlers in these conditions. They’ve got much more pace than them.

India will take 375 with both hands.. I think Indian pacers have lot more pace than Kiwis & are harder to line up. Jadeja against right hand heavy middle order will be tough to get away as well.
Danger man is Root for India.

Funny how when Pant looked ugly top scoring in India's second innings in the WTC, people had takes like he should not play test cricket, he's a fluke, can't bat in English conditions etc. This was months after him playing 2 4th innings classics to lead India to a historic comeback series win in Australia.

He has more truly special knocks in his first 30 tests than anyone I've ever seen and is going down in history. :wub:

If India can kick on tomorrow it’ll certainly put them in command. If we get three wickets cheaply then with the form Root is in and our newfound ability to chase, I’d be reasonably happy.

All seem like new ball wickets this summer thus far.

we need tactical changes in our second innings to win this

all useless bats up top as new ball sacrifices and the ones who can score at decent speed after for the softer ball

To be fair, that was a horrific innings in the WTC final. Good luck to him here, must've been a hell of a knock...but the criticism after the final was largely deserved
