jadeja contributes nothing on these type of wickets, except for being a good fielder.

And he strikes!!!

easily the best fielder amongst  the bowlers after Jaddu.

[Stutter]

Unforced error, but a fantastic catch. Game on and time to get Latham now!!

Shami should go round the wicket, to angle in and straighten out. Both are lefties. Pant

[SRT100]

Well done team India.

 

3 wickets in the morning session, the big 2 in Williamson and Taylor.

 

This is the match right here, right now.

 

They must hit NZ with everything and get them out before 242.

I would have played Saini over Rahane. On current batting form,  probably Jadeja = Rahane  

 

When you are trying to draw the series in a must win game, you have to give yourself the chance to pick up 20 wkts 

I would have played a cardboard cutout of Tendulkar instead of Rahane.

[SRT100]

Kohli should keep Jadeja on at one end permanently if he is not conceding runs.

 

It will force NZ to attack the other end.

A fully fit Ishant would have been handy here.  But we wasted him in T1.

10 years or more ago, getting a team 3 down was half the job done. Now its 30%.  We need a lead to win this game, > 35.  To get there, we need to keep taking wickets - NZ's lower order is unlikely to give up 6 wickets for 50.  Shami can't wait till the 2nd innings to find his way.  

[zen]

Shami is more effective in 3rd/4th inning .... he should combine well with Jadeja on the 5th day if the match goes that far 

 

Bumrah-Yadav may need to do more damage in this inning 

 

[SRT100]

India desperately need a wicket before Lunch, it will be put some panic in that dressing room.

I would expect a cardboard cut out of Tendulkar to score more runs than Rahane.

 

Just his presence is enough.

[Nikola]

Shami gets latham. 

[SRT100]

Im greedy, come on, one more wicket. Get them 5 down.

[aditya19]

Excellent bowling is much more exciting than our batting

[zen]

Kiwis 5 down .... have to clean up the others quickly
