You guys realise they are chasing 240, not 140 right ??

They probably just have to make it to 150-160 minimum and the rest of the order should be able to get it home though

 

[HBF]

That was almost perfect placement

Even if that was the case, which it isn't, that's still a long way away.

It doesn't look like rain is supposed to come until after play, but just in case

DLS score at 20 overs (if they don’t lose another wicket) is 110 according to that. All kiwis should be doing rain dances

 

[boondy]

Storms here in Geelong atm. Power has just gone out. Missing the cricket and the state of origin. Good timing

The blue team just slid over the white line for a try 14/ 8 now and KFC is $4.95

I'm watching this to avoid the Origin haha.

 

[Frank Gallagher]

Rain is 2-3 hours away according to radar, clear skies.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

NOOOOO!

I missed the Indian implosion. Must’ve been glorious.

 

[010203]

Good running in the end

 

[HBF]

Last thing India need is a runout

 

[Voice of the G]

They haven't shown the Duckworth-Lewis required score yet but being 4 down they are well behind.

India's biggest problem at the moment is the run rate as that looks like rain around.

 

[HBF]

If that was a good throw Pandya would be gone-ski

 

[Pea Nut]

How's Mark Nicholas, "You wouldn't describe Neesham as Fast-Medium", stats show up on the screen as he's talking, Jimmy Neesham, Bowler - Fast-Medium. What a donkey.

 

[HBF]

20 overs bowled. We have a game

I'm with Nicholas on that one.

 

[gtrxuone]

This game starting to balance out.Pandya+Pant look ok at the wicket.

 

[Pea Nut]

I'm with Nicholas on that one.

He's a lot quicker than a medium pacer. The guys that do the stats have got it right.

 

[SSwans2011]

Pant is such a unique batsman. Always looks like he could go on to score 150 or get out the next ball.

 

[Present Not Past]

These two starting to get settled in

They build a 100 partnership it should put them in the box seat still

Yes, let their defeat be long and drawn out

 

[Pea Nut]

Pant is such a unique batsman. Always looks like he could go on to score 150 or get out the next ball.

Or run someone out.

 

[Mazza1234678]

Still only need 6 an over from here and there going at a snails pace

Absolute coin flip from here for me

Not that long ago six an over for 28 overs was an almost impossible ask. Pretty standard now, but being four down cuts down the room for risk.
The game is getting more even, but NZ still favourites.

edit: Fifth wicket gets NZ back more solidly on top.

Pant laughing
