Black Caps v Pakistan ODI 2

What's the haps Nelson (@Chris-B)

Beautiful day where we bat first and set 335 for them to have another go at?

[Chris B.]

@hooroo Not the best day of summer, forecast unfortunately. The sun is shining at present but there's a few murky clouds around and there's showers expected in the afternoon.

We should get most of a game - hopefully all - but, if there's an advantage to batting second in a reduced overs situation then we might be advised to take that advantage.

Should be a bit of swing around for bowlers!

[Hooroo]

Cheers!

Lost the toss and having a wee bowl at them

Inzi's nephew pulls Boult straight to Munro at midwicket

5/1 and into the 5th over!

A bit of swing early, but not that hard.

Does he hate running as well?

Two for 14 with Southee getting one plumb

[Chris B.]

@mn5 He looks like a librarian.

[Chris B.]

Ferguson gets Babar Azam caught in the slips.

Shit shot - just flailed at one.

There's just no stopping Timmy at the moment. What a champ.

Inspiring batsman too.

[No Quarter]

@MN5 a genuine all-rounder.

Almost as much of one as Doug Bracewell.

Shaoib tries one too many straight drives for six off Astle and holes out to Timmy - the world's safest hands!

[Chris B.]

Safraz stumped off Astle.

Done like a dinner!!!

135/6 and crumbling.

A big one from either opener and looks like the weather won't even be a factor at this stage.

Yup, we've got a really decent bowling unit this summer. Great balance with two swing bowlers, one express pace and two spinners that can put the squeeze on in the middle overs. Not easy for batsmen to settle against us.

[No Quarter]

Quick bouncer hits the splice of Ashraf's bat going for the hook, gone burger. Been another clinical display in the field.

[Chris B.]

@mn5 Weather not looking too threatening right now.

Farheem hooks Ferguson into the safe hands of Timmeh!

IMO Bracewell is a batting all-rounder that is yet to fulfill his potential.
