NZ v Pakistan 2022/23

[sparky]

Pakistan more than half way there at drinks.

[Damo]

Pakistan are playing this well. They are hanging in there and scoring at a reasonable clip without taking many risks. This gives them the option of going for it in the final session if they still have wickets in hand.

I am concerned now.

[canefan]

Shouldn't we try some Wagner style bodyline to put these batsmen under pressure?

[Chris]

We still have attacking fields and bowling for wkts.
There is the option to set more negative fields and bowl more negative .
Pack the off side and bowl 4th stump line on length and full of a length.
But we look like we are still looking for a wkt or 2 for the win.

I'm not enjoying this.

Am off to bed.

You should have gone to bed a long time ago.

[No Quarter]

Pakistan have left themselves quite a bit to do in the final session. Will be interesting to see if they have a go, I feel like it's be pretty risky for them to go too early and lose a wicket as that'd get us right in the hunt. Fascinating final day.

[Chris]

Draw looks likely now.

[Chris]

Sensational catch by Mitchell.

[LABCAT]

One end open, but only an hour left. Not sure if we can get extra time due to this whole Friday prayers thing.

[Damo]

Boy did we need that. I was starting to get very concerned.

Can't really see us winning from here but now a loss is less likely than a win.

Not sure what you mean extra time overs will be bowled within the allotted time.

Normally when a test match is close (eg 1 wicket or not many runs required) the umpires grant an extra 30 mins to try and complete the match.

I don't think that can happen in this game though as they appear to be running to a very strict schedule.

Not on the last day anymore with Friday prayers there is no time to claim the extra time

3.2 The umpires may decide to play 30 minutes (a minimum of eight overs) extra time at the end of any day (other than the last day) if requested by either captain if, in the umpires opinion, it would bring about a definite result on that day (this is in addition to the maximum one hour's extra time provided for in 3.1 ...

That's only on day 4 of a test match (or any day when a result is possible before the last day). They certainly do not add on overs at the end of the test.

This game has 22 overs left. Needs to be finished "officially" by 5:30 (1:30 our time) but there is potential for 30 minutes overtime to complete the overs. This 30 minutes is the same as for every day, not just the last day.

The issue here is that it's unlikely to go much past 5:30 due to the light issue we had last time. I suspect there is more like 18-19 overs to go.

What I mean is Friday prayers takes any extra out on this last day.

I think we need Sodhi again.

Or Mitchell bowling wkt to wkt

[Chris]

Sarfraz may put the hammer down here

[Damo]

I don't understand why Southee and Henry are bowling. The new ball is 6 overs away. Let Sodhi and Ajaz have a go and then when new ball comes let Sodhi continue with the new ball and rotate Southee and Henry at the other end.
