Black Caps v Pakistan
-
@hydro11 Yeah - I'm pretty doubtful that Pakistan will get close - and they probably won't be trying - at least initially. But if they can get well past lunch with no more than a couple of wickets down, they'll doubtless re-assess the prospects and balance of drawing the series compared with not losing the test - and think about having a bit of a slog for a while.

How's the pitch playing? If Rosco got a ton I'm assuming it has settled into being a good batting track
Yes it is a bit easier to bat on now. Still a bit there for the bowlers with the new ball but as Latham showed, if your defence is solid early on then there are runs to be made.

No problem with the weather tomorrow and there should be some cloud cover around to assist the bowlers. Henry must be due some luck.

Wagner will make life uncomfortable for the batters
Yup, no major demons in the pitch but it's far from a road, some variable bounce at times which Wagner will exploit. Will take a huge effort from Pakistan to save this game.

Shot Black Caps and great work Rossco. Again, what a record for a NZ batsman.
All over tomorrow. Just like their predecessors this Pakistan team can't play too well overseas.
They play all their tests overseas

You talking about the number 2 test side in the world who haven't lost a series in their last 12 and drew 2 all in England?

Yep I am. They lost soundly in the last test and sure as shit won't win this one so it's looking at least 1-0 to the BCs comfortably.

Pakistan have done a good job of parking the bus mid-pitch.
Had no idea Savea was back in country already..

Barely a run an over to date, going to be a long day at this rate. Least there's a chance of the day being called off early if there's no chance of bowling them out.
