Everytime some dangerous partnership builds up, Thakur comes in and out of nowhere takes the prize wicket. He played only handful games but already becoming very impactful player for the team.

SA still in good position and Bavuma looking solid already but mini collapse could change the tide very quickly.

Trail is only 30 runs now.

Wow just wow, he did it again, 5th wicket for Lord!

Thakur took 7 freaking wickets to dismantle the South African lineup almost single-handedly. He still leaks runs, but he takes wickets consistently which is why he will keep getting more and more well-deserved chances across all formats in the future.

Both Pujara and Rahane are playing well at the moment and South Africa will be in big trouble if India manages to post a lead of 250 or higher.

Mortals shouldn't judge him cause Lord works in a mysterious ways Grin

I loved that Pujara took a aggressive approach, it was refreshing. Hope he and Rahane continue this partnership and strengthen team position. Yeah India do need 250 runs on the board as target because we are 1 bowler short due to Siraj's hamstring injury and he's not 100% fit. If he is fit then even 220 score looks good on this pitch.

NZ vs BAN

Holy shit... Bangladesh is about to make history!!!

9th wicket down for NZ and lead is only 31 runs.

South Africa has a chance to dominate the 2nd test match. But they missed the opportunity. The batsmen have played very badly. With such a performance, it is impossible to win against a strong team like India.
The second day has just ended. So the chances of this match being drawn are very low. If India bats well tomorrow and can give more than 250 targets. I think 250 is enough to beat South Africa. India lost 2 wickets and is now leading by 58 runs.

The match is moving much faster. The result of the match is almost predictable. India leading 58 runs and has lost two wickets. By tomorrow's morning session there'll be fall of wickets. If early wicket fall happens, then it'll be advantageous for South Africa and keep up the dominance. Within two days two innings have got over and the third innings have begun. If India manages to develop good partnership then it might toughen the game, else this is gonna be the match of South Africa.

Currently, match is well-balanced for both teams, but surely tomorrow first hour is very important for both teams if India able to have 220+ lead then surely they will on driving seat with current both well experienced batsmen on crease and doing good job they can give first series win in South Africa. But if bowlers have good time, and they take few early wickets then surely It's going to be more interesting game because in last three innings South African batting struggling very badly and have no confidence in presence of youth players which is major concern for them. Pujara's counter-attack is very good for India, with this they can take some good lead.

South Africa VS India

South Africa is just 100 runs behind. Has collected 102 runs and lost 3 wickets. The first session is not over yet. South Africa is playing well. But I did not rely on their players. At any moment they will start losing wickets. The South African team is now basically like Bangladesh. Batsmen's performance is irregular. However, it is expected that they will not lose all the wickets before 202. They will be ahead of India by at least 50 runs. Although it is not enough.

It seems like SA failed to take advantage of there good bowling. They are still 100 runs short and 4 wickets gone, if they keep on playing like that I am sure they will fell short of India 202. India has strong batting line up and if that line up clicked in second innings, it will be difficult for SA to chase huge target. They are already 1 test down in the series.

With just starting season 2, both teams have plenty of time. More likely to see the result of this match. The match will not be a draw. South Africa must cross the 202-run mark by any means. If they fail, they will be defeated. The Indian batsmen played badly in the first innings, but they will not make the same mistake in the second innings. South Africa should take advantage of this opportunity.
Now, South Africa able to score 107/4.

As much as I watch Bangladesh's match against New Zealand, I am amazed. The youngsters of Bangladesh team are playing like experienced players. Bangladesh finished their first innings with 458 runs. They were 130 runs ahead of New Zealand.
Since New Zealand is an experienced team. So I thought they will play better in the second inning than in the first inning. But at the end of the fourth day they collected 147 runs losing 5 wickets. Bangladesh team has a chance to win the match. If they can take all the wickets of New Zealand in the first session of the next day.

Losing 4th wicket at 203 runs and further making a score above 400 and still continuing with two more wickets is really an unexpected performance from Bangladesh. Right now the score is 440/6 with a lead of 112 runs. The performance from Bangladesh in New Zealand ground is the important thing to be noted. There is more chance of a draw than a win. If Bangladesh makes a win, then it'll be a big blow for the top order New Zealand.

BAN are the verge of a historic Test win as NZ have got 17 runs lead with only 5 wickets remaining. BAN must try to restrict lead to 100 - 150 runs, so that they have a bright chance of winning this Test match. Ebadot Hossain had a blockbuster spell as he manged to get 4 key wickets. Look at score card of BAN, they all have contributed.

What is wrong with these two Cheteshwar Pujara & Ajinkya Rahane? You may be out of form for a couple of matches not for a couple of series. Why can't they be replaced by some other talented youngsters who will give whatever it takes to cement their name in the test team? These two are just like government employees now they know they will get paid for doing nothing.

These two seems to have very powerful backers in the BCCI. Talented youngsters like Ishan Kishan and Venkatesh Iyer are sitting in the bench, and these oldies are being given chance after chance despite repeated failures. The same was the case with Hardik Pandya in limited overs team selection. He was not dropped, despite not contributing either with the bat or with the ball. Overall, the selection policy for the Indian national team is very vague and controversial. And it has remained as such for the past several decades.

Pujara and Rahane earned their criticism without any doubt and i'm expecting one of em to get drop in next match but you can't be serious about throwing name of Ishan Kishan and Venkatesh Iyer in red ball cricket. They are good prospect in limited over cricket but their FC numbers are not up to mark as far as test cricket is concern, if i'm not wrong then there are like at least 10-15 good batters standing in queue for their test call up.

Bangladesh bossing the game at Bay Oval. Hope they wrap up kiwi's inning soon and may be under 100 chase? Finger cross no collapse also.

Edit

SA was sailing smooth but Lord Thakur happened. Indians got their breakthrough.

Proteas still in control tho.

Woaaahhh 2nd wicket for Lord!!

Lord Thakur : 4.5 Overs, 8 runs and 3 wickets.

I am not enjoying the match between Bangladesh and New Zealand. Because I thought New Zealand would easily win the match. Since we have seen the performance of the Bangladesh team in the last few Test matches. Bangladesh lost and the performance was very bad.

But today, I was a little surprised to check the scoreboard. New Zealand did 328 and Bangladesh did 401/6. As far as I am concerned, this is the first lead of the Bangladesh team against any country outside Bangladesh. Bangladesh is ahead by 73 runs.

Really?? Thanks for sharing this stats. This is much needed performance from down and out Bangladesh. Mominul Haque (c) and Litton Das played a vital role in getting such lead. Bangladesh must try to get lead of 150 and then try to bowl out NZ.

The team expects Liton and Muminul to play well because they are now experienced player. However, the performances of Mahmudul Hasan Joy and Najmul Hasan Shanto were outstanding.

The Bangladesh team was in dire need of a suitable opener. The opening pair can't stay in the crease even for 10 overs. Although Shadman could not score much, Joy and Shanto played very well. And other batsmen have also been able to maintain consistency. All in all, Bangladesh team's collection is quite good.

Shocking performance from Bangla tigers after losing very badly at home against Pakistan now they are in good position against Kiwis at Mount Maunganui with 73 runs lead and 4 wickets in hand Yasir Ali and Mahdy Hasan also contributing very positvely with 31 runs partnership another 30 runs can bring them into better position for having good confidence booster game for them. Southee, Jaminson, Wagner and Boult all firepower in but fail to restrict them mean change of mind or strategy is helping them for having some good things for their future because recently they have very poor games against many teams.

You may be right. It may be other way round that its BCCI who removed kohli from squad as they too not in favor of kohli. One thing is very clear from his removal that indian batting line up heavily rely on him. Things will get clear in next few matches that in row of Kohli and BCCI who is the winner.

Am not so sure about this theory. BCCI wouldn't want to take such a risk since abandoning Kohli could seriously screw the team morale which could lead to losses in the long-term.

Wrong. Wagner and Boult performed well by taking 3 wickets each so far while the rest under-performed.

Rahane could not play well. The team always expects more from a player like him. However, Kohli was replaced by Hanuman Bihari. His performance was not as expected. But they will probably bat more responsibly in the second innings

Hanuma Vihari, not Hanuman Bihari.

A lot of controversy still surrounds the omission of Kohli. During the first test at Centurion, he had scores of 35 and 18. The official version (as given by KL Rahul before the toss) is that Kohli had to sit out due to an upper back spasm. I am a bit doubtful about this entire episode and strongly suspect that he just refused to play, given his recent stormy relations with the BCCI officials. In the end, India struggled to take their total to 200 plus and was able to do so only due to some good hits from Ashwin towards the end.

Since India lost all their wickets on the first day and South Africa scored 35 runs. They are just 16 runs behind. So I don't think this match will be a draw. We can see the result of this match. If South Africa finish their first innings at less than 300, the match will be under Indian control again. But if South Africa are at least 100 runs ahead, they will have a chance to win the match.

There are 40 wickets that need to be fall in 5 days thats means 8 wickets per day. On first day 11 wickets fell, so one thing is clear we are not heading towards draw there must be some winner for this game. Right now SA aim should be to score 300 runs and get lead of 100 runs. India yet to win test series in SA.
