Pakistan defeat New Zealand by an innings and 16 runs to win 2nd Test & level series 1-1

Awesome performance by Yasir rolling NZ over so cheaply. After the last match we'd be dumb taking a victory for granted however I am confident we should make it 1-1 here.
 
Very nice weather right now, Pak should try to finish them off in 2 sessions. And square the Series 1-1.
 
NZ will fight, and fight hard. Pakistan should not be compacent here and go for the kill.
 
Was it just me or was that bizarre sequence of events? Pak appeal for a caught behing, umpire waits for ages before deciding it need referring and even then he refers if more for the catch as the soft signal is out.
Followed by the 3rd umpire having to tell his assistant? repeatedly to do to the same thing over and over (lol) and even then the decision was made in haste.

Not sure it was out tbh
 
The pitch has slightly flattened out, however Pakistan still very far ahead of the game and new ball will be due after Lunch.
 
i think the moisture from the rain helped Yasie yesterday the pitch is playing much better now and it will not be easy to pick all 10 wickets we have to eek them out one by one before they put up a significant lead
 
the follow on has backfired you give a follow on when you are sure of an innings win we will get an uncomfortable 100-150 run chase here.
 
Whose big idea to enforce follow on? If NZ score another 250, Patel will eat us alive. Our batsmen can not score even 100 in 5th day pitch.
We should score another 200 runs and let NZ to chase 500 runs. Yasir will be really threat to NZ batsmen in a late 4th and 5th day pitch. Asif is useless.

Be patient , still 150 runs lead. The way yasir shah was bowling one would have assumed victory before stumps yesterday.
Wickets come in clusters , just have a little patience.
 
Yasir bowled 38 overs in under 4 sessions . He will have fitness issues if he is made to take such workload consistently .

Ashwin and Jadeja hunt in pairs with now Kuldeep chipping Yasir is a lone warrior since our other spinner is a passenger
 
In all fairness , this pitch is poor . Slow & hence dull boring spectacle . PCB must do something about this .
 
It is too soon for panic and sweaty hands. Just relax
 
Looks like yasir shah is pakistans only hope of getting a wicket.

Appreciate it how nz have neutralized mohammad abbas.
 
you have to see the gam e to know the fears f the fans the pitch is playing like a dream there are no play and misses 450 looks a distinct possibility.
 
Bilal strikes. Taylor gone. Now expect NZ to get all out inside 250
 
All the scared cats can breath now. Taylor uncle gone!
 
Ever since his debut bowling inns against Australia, Asif has been atrocious with the ball.
 
Man! I expected Pakistan to have wrapped up the game by now, and NZ to have just rolled over and died, but NZ are at a respectable 229-4.

What happened? :danish
 
where are those who were defending following on decision,,, all my fears turning into reality,,, some things never change,,
