Great start from the seamers 10/3.

Backed up with great hands.
Henry very unlucky to not have that first LBW as well.

 

[WA Warrior]

Bloody early to pull out the reverse sweep

Good of the Indians to move the game on so quickly so there's time to get a result even after 80-odd overs were lost yesterday.
Chur, Bros! (Or whatever the Indian version is!)

There is a lot of sideways movement, but that lift is insane. Fast tennis ball bounce, which makes it a very difficult wicket to bat on. Henry's LBW shout was half way up the stumps on another pitch. It looked dead!

OMG.
The Black Caps are on fire.
India 33 for 5 at lunch.
O’Rourke is a sensation.
Henry a class act.
I know the pitch is helping but you still have to bowl well.
Takes me all the way back to 1978 when we beat England for the first time.
They were chasing only about 140 to win and were carnaged by Hadlee and Collinge.
I was young then lol.

Corrupt!!!

But seriously, bloody hell! Foot on the throat!

 

[Boats n Hoes]

Dont want to jinx them but the catching has been top class.....thats more how i expect a NZ fielding unit to be....keep the foot on the throat.

 

[Ref]

It keeps getting better

 

[WA Warrior]

Fielding like we used to.
One more to go then put on a good score lads.

 

[Inruin]

Can someone tell me why we left Henry out of the last few tests?

When you get a 7 for against Australia you should never be sitting out the next two.

Southee blinkers

I reckon Williamson is pretty glad he isn't batting on this. It is verging on dangerous.

Henry is the perfect bowler for these conditions. He deserves it after all the drinks he's carried over the years.

 

[Rizzah]

I saw highlights of the first 3-4 wickets - the ball looked unplayable.
Solid start from the openers.

 

[Ever Hopeful]

Shaping up as one of NZ's best days ever! Who would have put money on that?

Williamson was holding us back

WTC points coming from unexpected places? Most everybody thought we'd get 0 out of 36...

India worst ever Innings Total at home. Have to admit I've never liked T-Twenty/Twenty-20/However it's styled and I blame India for it so giggles from me...

Latham too defensive, I thought, but no real harm done.

Lots of Ducks (Which tastes really good BTW, as does Goat. Yep SJ tastes really good in mango sauce!).

 

[jonesy101]

As well as it being India's lowest test total on home soil, Matt Henry has also nabbed the NZ record for lowest runs conceded for a 5 wicket bag. A day to celebrate and hopefully they can pile on the runs today. They don't want to be chasing any score over 50 in the fourth innings with the 3 dangerous spinners so its crucial Ravindra and Mitchell get off to a good start in the first session.

First thing my wife said when she heard how cheaply India was bowled out for was to check the Indian players email and text records for any connections to bookies.
