Gah, what a ridoculous waste, those two had done well to bat some time and get used to the pitch.
Interesting they chose to run Guppy out instead of Kane.

@mokey true, but the pitch is a bit dubious. This isn't a 330 pitch. 270 might be a good total.
Personally I don't mind seeing a pitch that isn't a total road every so often.
Agree, I think 270+ won't be an easy chase on a slow pitch. That's what we should be aiming for.
Santner and Astle will be tough to get away.
-
Rosco looking positive. Important partnership.

240 might be a good total judging by the variable bounce and slow nature. My concern is that this pitch is bad for us, but might suit the Pakistani team. On the other hand, they have to bat second.

Good innings from Rosco but we really needed him to finish the innings with some boundaries.
-
Great catch from Shadab, poor shot from Nicholls. Pressure on the lower order to get us a decent total now.
-
The slower ball is very effective on this pitch, doesn't come on and doesn't bounce. NZ bowlers take note.
-
This pitch would be perfectly suited to the likes of Chris Harris and Gavin Larsen. Slow and low.
-
Good work from Boult to get us to 257. Below par but defendable on a slow and low pitch.
-
Santner drops a simple chance. Yeah, can't really afford to drop those.
