TV tells us: on this day 59 years ago, the first tied Test !"It can't have been easy facing Wes Hall in fading light."

Back in the present, Ponting contemplates declaring tonight.
The bat-three-more-sessions idea sounds safer and easier to me!
Ponting:
"We know the Australian bowlers are desperate to bowl under lights."
No surprises, there. Bowlers may be claimed to be dumb but they are not delusional or in denial.

Ponting says this was what he was worried about leading into the series: the NZ bowlers' lack of penetration in flat conditions.

So, wicket is falling in the Australian innings, right, left or centre. 1/107.

Back to more traditional cricket, can 1/111 make the breakthrough for NZ?

Santner takes out Aleem Dar. Hope it's not a knee injury. We don't need an inexperienced emergency umpire coming out.129th Test Match , we're told...

Baz M sounds keen on declaring tonight too."If you don't do it tonight, the next opportunity is 80-odd overs down the track."
