Cool, thanks. Can't believe we're now at tea having not lost a wicket all day. Scoring rate's sluggish indeed - look at Watling, he's taken 360 balls to get his 119 - but in a way that's what we need. Just hold onto the wicket and plug away for as long as possible and steal this game from India. All we need is a draw to win the series.

Best sixth wicket partnership in history!

Fuck I knew putting on the stream would jinx it! Well, it was probably the new ball.
 Watling's gone LBW for 124, partnership of 352. What a knock.

 They need to put on at least a hundred more. A 300+ target is going to put India under a lot of pressure, given how they were eyeing up inflicting an innings defeat on NZ just a day ago |

Hope Neesham can get himself settled and start another partnership here. Like you say, we need a total of 300 to really threaten India. Still over a day to play and we're going to have to bowl ruthlessly to win/draw.

A shame, but a heroic partnership. Just awesome stuff. For me the plan would be simple - bat until the final half hour with ideally a lead of 300+ and try and snare a wicket. But that's attacking captaincy, and you risk India winning.

God I love how McCullum always seems to bring up milestones with fours or sixes. Six to go past 250! Go boy go!

Neesham's really helping to pick up the pace here; they've scored a fifty partnership already. Wonder how long he'll stay in though?

306 lead, 50 for Neesham, McCullum 277 with about four or five overs to go today. Amazing turnaround.
What's more amazing is this scorecard from Dromana (seriously, click it) http://mycricket.cricket.com.au/comm...atchID=1552064 |

Just went out for afternoon tea. Kind of expected a wicket to have fallen on my return, but they're still there at stumps! I'm getting nervous for McCullum closing in on the 300, and well done Neesham! I want McCullum to go for the 300 tomorrow. Who cares if it's a draw? Draw wins us the series and that's what matters. Give the bowlers at least 350-400 to defend and bowl like hell at an obviously tired Indian team over two, two and a half sessions, knowing a draw should be likely and a win possible.

I don't know, this has played with my emotions for days on end! It's always so much more tense when it's your team, and that tension goes to eleven when your team happens to be New fucking Zealand. At least T20 toys with me for three hours and then leaves me be!

Unfortunately for NZ the score will be reduced in line with the ICC's new rules on contribution to the game's financial coffers.

Weeee're back. Can McCullum do it? Can Neesham get a century on debut? *bites nails*

McCullum's faced more balls in this knock than Chris Martin faced in his entire career!
