Wriddhiman Saha would be my Man of the Match… two peachy innings on a difficult track, both under pressure! Precious contribution #IndvsNZ

Much credit to the curators at both Green Park and Kanpur though. Two terrific games. One went to day five, the other almost so. #INDvsNZ

Of the 37 wickets to fall so far, as many as 24 have fallen to pace. You’ll still have people talking of raging turners though. 🙂 #INDvsNZ

If they can keep him fit, India have a serious pace bowler in Shami. This spell has been magnificent. #INDvsNZ
