India making a bit of a meal of the chase - at 71/5! Anyone know what the drs par score is? Rain is apparently coming this afternoon… ---

Pant goes to a mad slog. MS Dohni in for his 350th. If he gets them home from here he’ll be a Indian cricket legend to rival Tendulkar and Kohli is looking very agitated. ������ ---

Seems like NZ running out of a bit of steam and India bat so deep. One hell of a game though. And that my friends is how I get a wicket. ---

Down goes Pandya. 92/6. One more wicket and they’re in the tail. Come on NZ! Seems like your Origin game was pretty decent in Oz too. ---

I had to quickly edit my post- and yes the State of Origiin was a corker. The guys who play these days are monsters - also fast and skilled. ---

These two need to put on 100 off 12 just to stay in the game. If the Kiwis get home it will be a bloody good day. ---

Lordy! This is a turn up for the books. Exciting stuff. 112-6 but it looks like Dhoni and Jadeja are looking to push this along now (they have no choice really) and I’m not sure this wicket and these bowlers are going to allow that. I predict a wicket in the next 2 overs ---

This partnership beginning to look a bit ominous. This pair are certainly not going to go down without a fight at least. Walking a very fine line though, one wicket may well be fatal, given the quality of the batting left to come. ---

I can’t see why I am hoping for a Kiwi win when they thrash us at Rugby every time. ---

The over that will need to be bowled by Neesham is potentially where the game hinges. If Dhoni can be on strike for it, this isn’t over. They probably should have got one of Neesham or De Grandhomme’s overs out in the middle where India got stuck. What they’d give to have one more over of Boult now. ---

And Ferguson cleans up Kumar. They should have given Neesham enough of a cushion now. ---
