Here you go then...

[No Quarter]

We desperately need a breakthrough...

we needed more than one for the last couple of hours! This session probably swings the test to Pakistan, and well done them. They have earned it.

[canefan]

Our spark plug is in the pavilion....

[canefan]

Pakistan 246-3. We are now playing to save the test

[Siam]

@canefan yep. Or as the decades old, familiar black caps dread in the pit of my guts suggests, we're fucked (again)

Pakistan to score 400 and cue another craps batting collapse

[Siam]

The nailed in advertising tablecloths on the field don't exactly scream richest fluffybunnies on Earth

Little bit of dread ease with the score 332 for 6. Lost a drs lb too

We're certainly applying pressure though, pretty specific and tight bowling tactics and one sided fields

Important last hour and a bit on here

[Siam]

333 for 7 now. Taylor with a fine catch

This game is suddenly worth watching again

[canefan]

Raval gone. Here we go, get the women and children to the lifeboats first

[canefan]

Latham capitulated meekly as well. It's going to be a long way back to draw this match

[No Quarter]

We did well to knock them over and be only 70 odd runs behind, just needed a better opening stand and we'd be in the box seat.

Once again relying on Kane to go big and set them something defendable. We're certainly not out of this yet though.

[Chris B.]

So Azhar and Shafiq make hundreds and the rest make a hundred between them.

As well as Kane, we're going to need our middle-order to come to the party - Rossco, Nicholls and BJ. Need a lead of 200 to put some pressure on - 250 would be better - more is probably wishful thinking.

Someone needs to buck the trend and make a big score. Raval and Latham showed a disappointing lack of application last night. Having said that the Pakistani bowlers had the ball hopping big time

[MN5]

Time for Rossco ( SGOAT) to show he still has the goods.

[Bovidae]

It seems like a tidy debut from Somerville with the ball.

NZ probably need to bat for 4 sessions to be safe. No pressure boys.

[Siam]

Roscoe runs down the wicket to defend his first ball from Shah, lovely to watch😀

Meanwhile Shah is the best bowler to get 200 wickets in the history of the world! Some solace for when he gets player of the series.

Kane and Taylor at the crease, always worth watching

[Siam]

Cool, Ross Taylor and CdG changed bodies!

Like some cricket "face off" thing

[Chris B.]

We're effectively 51/4 - probably about 80 runs behind the game to my mind, given that one of our 4 is Somerville.
