I know he got 5 wkts 1st inns but billal doesnt look like a bowler! Captains reviews r more worrying than billals underarm bowling.. games over already . No way chasing this already. Poor bowling on day 4 pitch. As soon as NZ were 1 ahead-sarfraz shaking at thought of batting again. Mentally fragile, u can see sarfraz breaking down in the field.. c*apping it-knows he has one/two days left in his career. Hope they dont get a lead over 100-that way defeat will b more embarrassing for pak..
This has been a very good test series.
Pakistan should consider themselves lucky if they get a 176 run target again. This pitch isn't doing anything like the 1st test.
If pakistan lose this test as well , pakistan should consider chaging home venues. May be try sri lanka as they make very good test wickets these days. Certainly better than playing on these dead wickets in front of empty stands in searing heat

Kane is the most underrated player this decade. There was one ball which really grubbed through low from Yasir and Waqar mentioned that only kane could have played that. He's right too. He may not be the most dominant batsman it flash y but can play on tough pitches with minnowesqye support from the other kiwi bats. Fantastic player.
Why is Hasan still bowling when he’s clearly struggling with a niggle?
They once became no.1 by playing here
I would like New Zealand to give us a target of 200. So that Pakistan can chase it down tomorrow and on top of it put an end to so much criticism that they can not chase under pressure blah blah.
It is a redemption for team pak to put all the glass empty critics on silence mode as did
Alicis Ghiggia in 1950 fifa world cup final in brazil in front of 199000 people at maracana.
If New zealand does not get out by the end of the day, their lead will not exceed beyond 200. And they will not declare unless lead is near to 300.
So draw is also on the cards, Pakistan might have to bat 2 sessions. 50-55 overs.
Its not going to be a draw.
I don't think I've ever seen a more defeatist captain in the field than Sarfraz. Granted, Pakistan are on the backfoot here and the game is quietly slipping away but for God's sake, it is still 59/4. A couple of quick wickets and Pakistan are on top again. But watching Sarfraz makes me feel like we're 400 runs behind.

if kiwi's bat out the whole day then they would be around 225 ahead & it could be a draw as i see no declaration from them . 138:64 / 4 .
Sunday league cup safraz won last year has made him invincible..
Clueless captain
Can’t use drs
Cant bat
Cant keep
Which other self respecting cricketing nation would keep a mediocre player like that in the team.
Add screaming to it t

That's the difference between good and bad captain. It's really shocking to see a captain in backfoit when he has multiple reasons in favor of him to be in backfoot.
Nevertheless,as a neutral I am enjoying the contest.
If you cannot bear the pressure of game outside the ground how can you perform inside the ground
I am a fan, not a professional cricketer. As a professional cricketer,as a captain you should know how to handle pressure.
If Williamson scores a 100 and NZ somehow win, this knock will be rated very very highly and he will re-enter the best test batsman discussion in style. Facing a deficit of 75 and roaring back in the 3rd innings with minimal support from the other end in alien conditions, don't even remember Smith or Kohli doing something like this.
Williamson threatening to take the game and series away from us.
Surprised Sarfraz hasn't turned to Hafeez or Haris for a couple of overs.
Deficit of 75 isnt that big, especially against Pak
