Disappointing dismissals of Pant and Kohli, both balls deserved to go to boundary. Indian fielders looked complacent in field. India lost the first game, they must win this match to level the series, I don't get why they are playing like this.

You should blame complacency. New Zealand has performed poorly in the past while visiting India. But this time, their bowlers really troubled the Indian batsmen. Mitchell Santner was magnificent during the second test, taking 7 wickets for just 53 runs. The fact that Ajax Patel failed to find his line and length was not even noticed, as Santner and Phillips filled the vacuum. And in the first test, it was the turn of the pacers. Matt Henry and William O’Rourke simply ran through the Indian batting order in the first match.

We never imagined that India would play like this against New Zealand at their own venue. Satner's delivery meant a disaster for the Indian batsmen, picking up 7 wickets and stopping the Indian score at 156 runs. Will India be able to complete the lead of 301 runs given by New Zealand on the second day . This revenge match has created a possibility of defeat for India instead of revenge. If New Zealand gives India a lead of 400 runs then the chances of India losing are high.

England lost their first innings by a huge margin against New Zealand in the second Test match but the result is now very much in New Zealand's favour. In the first innings against New Zealand, India were all out for just 156 runs. Whereas New Zealand has so far collected 158 runs for 5 wickets in the second innings. So far, the New Zealand team is 301 runs ahead of India in two innings.  Since they still have 5 wickets in hand, if New Zealand can accumulate 150+ runs on the scoreboard next day, then the target for India will be 450+ plus runs and it will be very difficult to win against a team like New Zealand with 450+ runs. 

Since India is playing this series at home, India should have performed better and come into the second test correcting the mistakes they made in the first test but they are making the same mistakes in the second test.

After India's defeat in the first Test match, many thought India would come back in the second Test. But India's fans cannot accept that India will lose to New Zealand at their own venue like this. India bowled out New Zealand for 257 runs in their first innings but the fact that India were all out for 156 runs was a true testament to India's failure. So far New Zealand is leading by 301 runs, in this case it will be really impossible to draw the match after India's second innings margin is so big.

Yes no one imagined such a defeat for Indian team at their own venue although they lost the first match badly but the second match was a win for them. But in the current state of their game we can predict a lot that India might lose the match and lose the series. After New Zealand bowled India out for 156 runs, New Zealand's win is very likely as we have seen the New Zealand team's batting performance is good and they have already managed to give a lead of 301 runs. Accordingly we can assume that since they still have five wickets in hand, they might try to bat better and give a great lead. In that case, if India can't build a big lead, they will definitely lose the second Test match and lose the series.

Yes, you are right Pakistan top and middle order poorly perform but tail ender noman ali doing well so far. Pakistan current score is 265 runs in a loss of 7 wickets. Noman ali is playing at 45 runs not out and soud shakeel at 106 runs unbeaten so far. Soud Shakeel impressive batting performance scored a well deserved century that helped Pakistan to cross 250 plus runs in first inning of this final test match if series. The current partnership between Noman ali and Soud Shakeel is more then 85 runs. This partnership will helped Pakistan to scored a good runs on board in first inning. England spinner bowling well picked early wickets today but Soud Shakeel caught dropped at 26 runs will be biggest regret for england. Pakistan trail by just 2 runs and then the lead will start. Pakistan will give a lead of more then 50 runs then there chances of winning series is good.

Now I am looking at Pakistan that they can win this test match. As after losing the seven wickets when Aamer Jamal was out on 177 runs, they were doing good partnerships. Saud Shakeel, Noman Ali and Sajid Khan batting helped Pakistan reach 344 runs, Unbelievable. How strange it is that Noman and Sajid are not only performing good in the bowling, but also they have proved themselves as good allrounders too.

I have a lot of hopes with Saud Shakeel, he made 134 and was the backbone of Pakistan's batting. Pakistan not only got a good lead but also they were able to bowl three of the England batsmen out when England score was only 24. Again among the wicket takers are only Noman and Sajid.

New Zealand lost their fourth wicket by 123 runs. However, Captain Tom Latham is still at the crease after collecting 66 runs. Tom Latham is batting responsibly. Washington Sundar is able to bowl very controlled bowling in the second innings as well as in the first innings. By bowling 15 overs, he was able to pick up important wickets of Washington Sundar.

But in the second innings I expected to see a big innings from Rachin Ravindra. In the first innings as well, Rachin Ravindra scored 65 runs and Conway scored 76 runs. Both these New Zealand batsmen failed to play well in the second innings. Conway was out with 17 runs and Ravindra 9 runs.

I think New Zealand is likely to win this game as their bowlers did magical bowling once again, picked the all wickets of the Indian team at the less score of 156 runs and does not allow them to get lead which is very good for them and it will give them a very good advantage. At one time when New Zealand made only 259 runs, I thought India would get the lead but how good they bowled again.



I hope now New Zealand will win this game. New Zealand is in the lead of more than 300 runs which is very good. Many days are still left to see and will India may come back in the match or not? I don't think that they can. Even New Zealand's 2nd innings score (198/5) isn't impressive enough, but still they are on top of this match only because of poor Indian batting.

LOL.. it is quite clear that they will lose the match. With 3 wickets remaining, they are leading by just 81 runs. That said, the partnership between Nayeem Hasan and Mehidy Hasan Miraz has added valuable runs so far. If these two can stay there for 10-12 overs more, then Bangladesh may even post a competitive target. But the threat at the moment comes from Kagiso Rabada and Keshav Maharaj. These two have shared all the wickets to fall in Bangladeshi second innings so far.
We got a very disappointing performance from Bangladesh team especially in this test match. At first when the Bangladesh team was all out for 106 runs, there was no hope that they would win but later when the South African team lost six wickets before 120 runs under Taijul Islam's amazing bowling and then I thought Bangladesh had some chances to win. But the South African lower order batters proved that I was wrong. Especially their lower orders partnership run-rate.
Anway even then currently Bangladesh has only three wicket in their hand and I don't thing they will able to cross more than 350 and their is a high possibility of wining the south African team.
Those who bought tickets for the fifth day of the first Test match between Bangladesh and South Africa are really out of luck as the result of this Test match is over even before the fifth day takes place on the ground. Now any cricket fan of Bangladesh must think twice before buying a ticket for a Test match and they will try to get tickets for the first three days because there is always doubt whether Bangladesh will be able to stay on the fourth and fifth day. Bangladesh tour of South Africa has come but looking at the performance of Bangladeshi players, it seems that Bangladesh has gone on tour to South Africa and they are not able to bat and bowl well there. Nothing more to say except best wishes for the upcoming match.

After India loss their 10 wickets at 46-10 runs in 1st innings of 1st test by New Zealand, team new Zealand became the hot topic of discussion everywhere as well as they won that match too. And now Another test Match is going on between India vs new Zealand. Where new Zealand Scored 259-10 runs in 1st inngins, Devon Conway(76) and Rachin Ravindra(65) were top batsmen who did their half century. And in the 1st inngins, India did 156-10 runs which was lower enough, not decent amount of runs to win in Test format match. It hurts indian fan when Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma lost their wickets with 1 or 0 runs. And so was happened with rest of players. Although some of them like Shubman Gill, jaiswal, Jadeja able to made 30-35 avarage ran for team. Now 2nd innings is going on where New Zealand already scored 198-5 runs where Tom Latham(86) showed his legendary performance and NZ already leads by 301 runs which is huge. Maybe they'll give India around 400 runs target for 2nd innings. Let's see. Mitchell Santner got 7 wickets and Washington Sundar got total 7+4=11 wickets yet. Both are legendary players with their extra ordinary performance

I like to treat everyone as a friend 🔹
India team had a very poor batting performance in their first innings, although we saw that the first match was won by New Zealand team, so this match is more important for India. India bowled out the team for 156 runs, New Zealand could not meet the team's target, today India is far behind in that regard. Coming into the second innings, the New Zealand team put in a very good batting performance, although they lost five wickets today, but their runs were much better. India has already given a lead of 301 runs to New Zealand, I think maybe tomorrow New Zealand can give a lead of 400 runs if they bat better. And if the New Zealand team is able to give such a big lead, then India will lose the second Test match, in which case New Zealand will win the series.

All done and dusted.
It definitely looks like it's all over for the Indians now thanks to their pathetic batting performance in the first innings. However, I wouldn't completely give up on them just yet even though it will be tougher for them to bat during the 2nd innings due to the deteriorating pitch.

If the batsmen on top click(Rohit, Kohli etc), they still have a chance for a win/draw. If they get out quickly, I think they are completely screwed.
There were plenty of Signs for everyone to see as far as the weakness against spin is concerned. It happened against Australia, twice when they toured us. Small glitch against England as well but our lower order was saving our ass with the bat every single time. Be it Jaddu (2 tons and more) Ash (2 tons and a couple of 50s) Axar (best batter against Australia)-Washi (a couple of match winning innings in just 1-2 matches).

The sad part is that the new guys like Jaiswal, Gill, Sarfraz and Pant are excellent players of spin and all of them are capable of working hard and playing long innings but for some reason, they looked different in this match. Call it overconfidence or complacent behaviour.

This is the first time Ash-Jaddu failed with the bat and ball in 2 consecutive tests and they are about to lose a series. That's why I keep saying, India will have a hard time replacing these 2 guys.



Pakistan playing like India at home (Spinners taking wickets and scoring runs), meanwhile India cosplayed as Pakistan. This wasn't on my bingo card when these 2 series started.  Grin

Noman Ali and Saud Shakeel both batsmen have performed well for a long time, I consider Noman the best player for today's match. Because he played the best from the batsmen in the top order, the attacking batsmen did not perform well due to which the players of the Pakistan team faced pressure at the end. But now the Pakistan team's runs depend on Saud Shakeel because the few runs he can score more can give the England team a lead of how many runs. So South Shakeel if this batsman can perform well then it will definitely depend on the next players, because the survival or not of this match will depend on South Shakeel's partnership.

Pakistan lost their seventh wicket for 177 runs. I thought maybe Pakistan's innings would stop between 220-240. But I was very surprised by Saud Shakeel and Noman Ali's responsible batting. And now Sajid Khan is also batting well. Pakistan collected 88 runs from Shakeel-Nomal pair. After collecting 45 runs, Noman Ali returned to the dressing room. And Sajid Khan scored an unbeaten 29 off 19 balls. Suad Shakeel is also unbeaten with 124 runs.

Pakistan team managed to take a lead of 46 runs. And this is possible because of Saud Shakeel's responsible batting. If Shakeel did not bat well, Pakistan team would not have been able to collect up to 250 runs.

Pakistan had a strong bowling order. Almost every bowler in the squad impressed us with their performances. But now the performance of Pakistani bowlers is very bad. I would say Pakistani players need to work harder. Pakistan squad players are very talented. If they work hard we will see good performance from Pakistan again.

England lost 5 wickets before collecting 100 runs. I thought maybe England's innings would stop before 200. But England managed to collect 267 runs. This is quite a large collection considering the pitch. I doubt if Pakistan will able to collect 250+ runs.

Pakistan players did good bowling but faced trouble in the batting as till the launch break, they were batting at 187 in the loss of 7 wickets, and they were trail by 80 runs at that point. Nine Wickets were picked by the magical bowlers from Pakistan who are the only Sajid Khan and Noman Ali but there is a little bit of more effort by Sajid Khan. But in the end, we have also seen the wickets from other bowler who was Zahid Mehmood. Pakistan bowlers did their best but I think the batting problem can be a big issue later in the game for the Pakistan team.

The Pakistan top order was played very poorly and did not score as much as they should have to do, Kamran Ghulam made the century in the last game that is why we have hopes with him but he disappointed us too, while on the other side no Saim Ayub and no Shan Masood. After these three batsmen, finally we got Saud Shakeel who played long and very good innings for the team but Pakistan was losing wickets back to back. Muhammad Rizwan, Aamer Jamal no one played well and now Pakistan is struggling. Saud Shakeel is the last hope for Pakistan and is batting at 88 runs. Let's see if Pakistan will come back in the next innings.

India are in deep shit, again because of the top order.
They do have a deep batting but Kiwi's tail is up and need brave effort from the middle order. All they need is 1 good partnership and they should be good but have to grind, no easy runs here so far.
Kiwis must tighten their grip and go for the kill. Not many teams get a sniff of winning a series in India and when they do they must cash in.
Both Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill had their eye in, they were in their 30s and one of them needed to play a big innings but not to be. Then Virat Kohli missed a juicy full toss and added to the Indian trouble. New Zealand bowlers Mitchell Santner and Glenn Phillips are fully pumped up and Tim Southee's next spell can be devastating too. New Zealand just need to keep the pressure and the wickets will come by automatically.
The New Zealand team also doing good this time too. New Zealand lost one wicket earlier at the over of 7.5 which was not good for them and at that stage, I thought New Zealand couldn't make a good target but at the seam time, I knew it is the test game, latter in the game there were type of batmen appear who will change the game and I was right as Devon Conway made such a good score (in first innings) and played very long innings in short time, made good runs and valuable runs for the team and New Zealand came to the safe Zone.

New Zealand lost their fourth wicket by 123 runs. However, Captain Tom Latham is still at the crease after collecting 66 runs. Tom Latham is batting responsibly. Washington Sundar is able to bowl very controlled bowling in the second innings as well as in the first innings. By bowling 15 overs, he was able to pick up important wickets of Washington Sundar.

New Zealand team can't collect big. Indian bowlers especially Washington Sundar bowled very well. But is there any guarantee that the Indian team will be able to collect big?
We saw in the first match that after scoring only 46 runs in the first innings, India scored a huge total of 462 in the second innings. From this it can be understood that the performance of Indian batsmen is not regular now. So I would not be at all surprised if India lose all their wickets before collecting 200 runs. There is even a high possibility of this happening.
Well i think that the Indian team is strong, yes they failed in one innings but this does not mean that they will do the same mistake in the 2nd test 1st innings too. I don't think that they will be all out before 200 or less as you are predicting. The reason is that they have no pressure in this innings as they already know that New Zealand team are all out at 259 runs and even if they played badly they can make this small score easily. It only requires one big partnership and that's all. Indian bowlers did a good job yesterday and  I do hope that Indian batsmen do the same good batting today.

Maybe the Indian batsmen will be able to play well in the second innings. In the first match as well we saw India amass 460+ in the second innings after losing all wickets for just 46 runs in the first innings. But will we see such events in every match?

The Indian team mustered only 156. And the team was behind by a big margin of 102 runs. At the moment, New Zealand has lost 3 wickets and collected 123 runs. Now the New Zealand team is leading by 226 runs. Can India win this match if New Zealand sets a target of more than 350? Considering the pitch condition, I would say if the target is more than 350 then India's chances of winning are very low.
