Oof that was a nightmare over from Livingstone.

90 runs off 30 balls. Unbelievable power, not sure how small the ground is!

[Gareth]

It’s amazing how far a pie can be hit….dreadful bowling

[olaftab]

This over, this Rehan over has turned the game that was lost.

[PaulWinch again]

Bumrah’s bowling earlier, bloody hell.

The commentator was referring to Jasprit as the best fast bowler in the world; I don't know if the stats back that up, but he gave a great performance.

He bowled one ball that looked like it was going to be a big wide but it swung right back in and forced the batsman to play it.

Between him and Cummins, for me.

Holy hell Australia are getting a proper battering.

9-2 chasing - if that’s the correct term - 534……

[Meanwood Villa]

Hahaha. Three down now.

[Monty]

On a knife edge.

[PaulWinch again]

India are basically doing to Aus what Aus normally do to us down there. Although at least we try to show some fight before it fall apart later in the series normally.

[Villan For Life]

Jacob Bethell to make his debut and bat at 3 in the first test against New Zealand.

Clearly they have seen something in him but he’s never scored a first class century and has never batted above 4. In many ways this a typical Bazzball selection and I hope it works out but it’s a huge gamble.

[PaulWinch again]

Is it a typical Bazball selection for a batsmen? I’d  say selections for the most part have been relatively conservative. Their approach might be aggressive in terms of play, but there selection of batsmen has been pretty standard. Bethell is an anomaly and it’ll be interesting to see how it goes.
