That's very funny. His reaction makes it funnier. I've been thinking, though — would he be covered by his insurance? Even if he had fully comprehensive would it cover it?

Yes probably. Whether he should claim and risk higher premiums etc is another matter.

India now 4 down with a lead of only 40. Hope NZ can finish the job. This side is something very special.

Also to shut Pietersen up saying that one off games shouldn't be played in the UK...

As it made TV news, I'd be shocked if a windscreen company didn't just offer to replace it for free.

India all out 170. Kiwis need 139 to be world test champs. .

If Pant hadn't been dropped on 5… this would be a walk in the park. As it is, NZ should do it comfortably.

New Zealand should just blitz it and treat it like a t20 - their not gonna lose this one.

Starting to get interesting, should still win it though.

Fair dos to India and New Zealand for trying to make a match of this. I can't help feeling, though, that this would have had an entirely different complexion without all the time lost for rain.

Pleased about this for the Kiwis. Perhaps because someone on here compared India to the rags of cricket (with Australia as the dippers).
Also indicates that perhaps it wasn't quite so shameful for England to lose to the best test side in the world at present.
