Pant keeping so what are chances of him playing in 1st test?

[vvvslaxman]

Since we can't see i don't know how they are bowling. Are they beating the bat , finding edges that go to boundaries. We have to see tomorrow.

Chances may be high given that our top order could implode and we will be a batsman light down the order.

[vvvslaxman]

These pitches can be thankless on day 2. But you should still be able to nip out a wicket or two upfront especially second string.

[vvvslaxman]

Shami strikes first over

[vvvslaxman]

both caught by Pant.

Bumrah's wicket.

This Rachin Ravindra is subhman gill/prithvi shaw batch

[vvvslaxman]

Averaging 31 runs in first class. They give chance to this guy for India A> He is doing okay in familiar conditions.  Not sure how will do overseas. May fail like Raval.

Shami's wicket.

[vvvslaxman]

Saini is bowling.  Damn we miss Ishant. He is definitely not playing first test even he miraculously passes the Feb 15th test.

Umesh going 4+ eco  in 4 overs out of which one was maiden means he gave 18 in other 3

We don't know for sure how those 4 runs were scored.

[vvvslaxman]

Umesh definitely had an off season in Ranji 18 wicket sin 5 matches. But he will be persisted.

He never gives full effort going back in domestic. Wake him up n make him play international test in india he ll be a diff bowler. He has been doing this for years now

Archer slogged for 42 overs in NZ in one of the innings. Couldn't do anything against Watling. You need a lot of workhorses like Ishant. Sadly these 3 are not workhorses.  On day 2, 3, 4, 5 batting will be super easy.

None was an edge may be one incase it was a leftie, wagon wheel is given on Nz site ..all others runs came in other areas
