Black has a clear advantage at this stage. The ponnuki was very painful for White, and White has to solve several problems at the same time. The area at the top needs reduction. If Black expands it, it might become too large. Another problem is the group on the left. If it tries to survive, it might turn out that the top would become really huge. At the same time White does not really have territory anywhere.
