Match Discussion
That's tea on day three in Bengaluru. India go to the break unscatched after bowling NZ out for 402. The conditions have eased although the inconsistent bounce is posing some threat to the batters. India are still 299 runs behind.

Santhosh: "A good start for a long journey ahead for India , a real test of character this is for the new India under GG"
Rahul: "Is Philips cricket's most funky guy? Can literally do everything - bat, bowl, keep "
Meanwhile during the break, Rishabh Pant is doing gentle batting drills with the left pad on. They are assessing him. In case you missed it, he got hit on the side of the knee while keeping wickets and had to go off the field.
Tea, Day 3 - 57/0, trail by 299 now. India will be happy with the start but they will have to start all over again after the break. Southee got swing and ORourke got uneven bounce + seam movement. Henry was a bit wayward and allowed Rohit to get leg-side boundaries when Jaiswal had dropped anchor. Jaiswal then started attacking and got a few quick runs. Both the openers looking fairly ok. But the clouds are slowly circling and New Zealand's pace battery will recharge their batteries. Ajaz Patel looked pretty good too in that small spell to Rohit. Final session is going to be interesting

I bet we will be beaten vs SAfrica in Nov & in Aus in test series. Our problem is more with our batting than bowling in overseas international matches.
We need Drastic changes in our batting number. I do not trust Kohli / Gill & Sarfaraz in overseas matches now. We have to play 5 test in Aus this time
