I think we should aim to bat until halfway through the final session today then give ourselves 3 and a half sessions to bowl them out on a day 5 pitch.

I’m not sure this day 5 pitch will offer a great deal to our bowlers.

It’s not breaking up as yet,once you get in it’s hard to get out as you get the pace of the pitch.
It is staying a bit low but that’s just normal.
It will not be easy to get 10 wkts in 3 or 3 1/2 sessions. -
Pakistan don't have a great batting lineup, we just need to get Babar early and we'll have them in all sorts of trouble on the 5th day. Agree though I expected the pitch to break up a bit more by now.

Maybe not. But many a time in test cricket it suddenly looks a different game when the fresh bowlers come out.

There is 130 overs left in the game.
I reckon we bat for another 20 overs and try to score 100+. That will give us 110 overs if we are good enough.
Ideally we would declare with about 30 minutes to go before tea and make the openers bat for 20 minutes. However due to the rate we scored at in the morning session that is not possible.
Sodhi out. This is made for Southee to come in and whack a few.

I wonder how the fern will cope with Southee if he gets out cheaply and “irresponsibly”
His first test innings as captain will be compulsory viewing.
( says someone without sky and who will be in bed most likely )
Shockingly irresponsible batting from Southee.

Nothing new there he has been doing it for years.

Throwing wickets away now for no reward.
Probably the better bet might have been for Wagner to feed Williamson the strike.
Yep agree totally.
