Well batted. Really hope CDG does something special here
NZ need to move to ODI mode (then T20 mode for 1/2 hr after tea). 123 overs to go (or 130 if an extra 1/2 hr on day 5?), assume SL bat defensively at 2.5 RPO, means the highest realistic chase NZ can make to win is around 200 / 40-45 overs (after SL make 220 / 85-90 overs). So anything less than 4 RPO now reduces NZ winning chances.
Ignoring the chance of further stoppages for rain.

keep going Colin. If we can bat until drinks tomorrow and he’s not out, that will give us 80 overs to bowl them out.

CDG to beat Watling to 100
Kane will want 90 overs, gives Southee + Boult a last chance with 2nd new ball. He may be prepared to be defensive mid innings to prevent SL lead from getting too far ahead (similar to Eng at Eden Park, where de Grandhomme was preferred over Astle).

yeah i don't know how more nzers can't see the talent. the **** can time the ball on anything and finds gaps at will, just keep him away from a legspinner. if cdg played every ball along the ground he scores a century, it's that simple. he's only limited by being the worlds stupidest batsman and not knowing what to do with leggies.
he's also the clear best 5th bowler in the world now that stokes has lost his radar. you can give him the new ball and he'll take wickets, and with the old he'll provide control.
if he was 23 from hamilton and not 33 from auckland the simon doull/grant bradburn hyyyyype train would be in full swing.

you absolutely would, especially since we both know that's not his main appeal
