Oh dear that did not bounce. Looked out unless bat or outside the line.

Actually on replay it didn't do much except spin in a little. KW a bit fortunate.

[Chris]

Full toss and everyone missed it .

[Chris]

Danger now , we need another decent partnership.

[Damo]

That turned sharply. Oh dear.

So the goal today would be to score quickly without taking any risks or losing wickets.

If we can be say 200 up at the end of the day with 8-9 wickets in hand that would be an OK day.

I can’t see us making 638 to be 200 ahead.

Pessimist

It does seem as if Nicholls is trying to score

I would call it being a realist😀

[Chris]

A very good 50 by KW in tough batting conditions.

[Chris]

Fantastic batting by Mitchell great positive batting.
If he can get to 69 he will break Conway record of the fastest NZ to 1000 test runs.
This is Mitchell’s 18 th innings,Conway did it in 19 innings earlier today.

That's incredible. I would have put Conway well ahead of Mitchell, but in fact they are about equal in terms of runscoring.

Conway is no doubt a gun.But Mitchell has been really good for NZ since he got a shot.
4 hundreds and 5 50's in 17 innings before today and a average of 62.70

[Damo]

This is a good innings by Mitchell. Upped the scoring and put the pressure back on Pakistan. I suspect it won't last long but if he scores like this it doesn't have to last long.

Not sure why they are persisting with the fast bowlers.

[Damo]

Pakistan into negative mode now. Bowling round the wicket outside leg. Has dried up the scoring but doesn't look dangerous.

Actually he's a left armer so bowling over the wicket. Still pretty negative stuff but it is working to slow the scoring.

Blundell goorne LBW for 47. Rather out. Had some luck.

11 short of evens.

Kane on 98...

Snicko suggests inside edge.

Blundell didn't refer.

Was a low amplitude snicko though.

Almost justice getting out when not out for a truly terrible innings!
