Hopefully that's a good review by the BCs to give Glenn a hitters chance

and nearly outfor Phillips.
Come on, be more positive

nah bro, that's Black Caps batting.
Wait for Southee to get out trying to hit another six.
Fully expect that no one wanting to do the hard yards.
A scorecard of the top six all contributing, but not kicking on massively. And 8 - 11 being bunnies.
Well, 35 run lead. More than it looked when the wheels were falling off.
Now we need to bowl well, then bat well. Slight advantage SL I reckon, beause we bat 4th

They will pile it on and roll us in the final innings. I've seen this movie before

A bit of a lack of self awareness in the tail.
Santner - yes, can bat - but, not in the class of Phillips. Bat like O'Rourke did. Play some shots when he's out.
Timmy's been told that for years.
We run out Mitch and strand Phillips. Luckily, Glenn gives us a bit of a lead - but, @Chris is right - we needed to lead by 150. Pitch would be worse when we started to bowl and we'd have to chase less in the final innings.
Best hope is the pitch is already tricky, so maybe we can knock over three or four for 30-odd.
Don't be fooled. We'll have them 4 or 5 down for about 100, then their middle order and tail will score about another 150 to 200

SL are taking the game away from us right now
it's not as bad as it's going to be against India
