This pitch has just looked amazing for batting

It has. That, in a way, is why it would be so painful to get out when the bowlers really ought not be able to get you without helping them.

Feeling quite smug

Got my 4.4 lay matched...

Suspect mine has been too then. Glad I stayed up for this, although it remains entirely possible that I'd have done better staying in bed and sleeping, as I moved my 5 out of the way down to 3.5 which I'll regret if a couple of wickets fall soon.

Lyon will start to dry up the runs and the batsmen will get more agressive against the seamers and bingo, wickets.

They've been playing close to a shot a ball to the seamers already, Guptil certainly. Not sure they'll necessarily be unable to score off Lyon either. Guess we'll see. I think Latham can go for periods of time without scoring without getting twitchy. Guptil I'm less sure.
