Finch really needs to make this count now. He's soaked up a LOT of deliveries.

Smith, well done as per usual.

Hopefully Maxwell is able to put on a show.

It is just too good for batting. Dhoni missed a trick not using Raina in the middle overs.. have a feeling our pace bowlers would get taken to the cleaners now.
We missed a major trick by trying to attack them and not contain them. One of the easiest centuries Smith might have scored, tbh.

Giving way too many simple runs especially with wide bowling, quite silly!

Jeez we've no luck with the lbw's. So many narrow misses.


And some more freebies down the leg. This is awful

Yadhav's been terrible despite the wickets. The extra pace is just making it easier to get him away.

No pressure at all for the batsmen. So many easy runs given up allowing them to rotate and get boundaries.

Yes maxwell out

Typical, I put down my headphones for literally 20 seconds and a wicket has just fallen.

I hadn't checked the score before literally at Maxwell walked out. I think I should either not listen/watch, or just listen/watch all the way through.

Finch really really had to capitalise today after taking up over a third of our innings.

Clarke and Watson really need to stand up now. Faulkner, Johnson and Haddin can all unleash.

Momentum shift, one more quick wicket ESP with two new batsmen at the crease

How does the pitch behave guys?Does it assist spinners?
There is some turn but it is too slow and no bounce for spinners as well. It is pretty much as good a batting pitch there can be, if it was a short ground like in NZ, you will have teams scoring 400 easy
