Promising signs! The forecast isn't too great and the overhead conditions are gloomy but currently, it's not raining and the hover cover is not covering the pitch. Let's hope it stays this way and we get going on time. You already are aware of the equation needed, it looks quite straightforward but just for your reference, New Zealand lost 6 wickets yesterday for just 34 runs. If the Kiwi bowlers manage to strike the right chords and the overcast conditions come to their assistance, this little phase left in this Test match could become enthralling.
