I still can't call this. I don't think any scenario would be easy for any side.
8 wickets in a session for India? That's very tough. I also think the run chase will be a tough ask, too. I'm also loathe to put the draw as a heavy favourite due to how we play under McCullum. I could see us chasing it down with minimum fuss due to being aggressive, but that simultaneously could lead to a heavy defeat.
And people say red ball cricket is boring? I've made my feelings about how stupid I think our approach has been under this leadership, but it does put the cat amongst the pigeons, and has made what should have been a routine Test draw into an exciting contest.
